Just to think it was one day away from being able to share parts with the rest of C3 vettes and not needing all those one year only parts...

You would be surprised at how many parts your 68 shares with my 69. I constantly have 'experts' come up to my car and tell me that's not right....:eek:

Her birthday is tomorrow - October 4th, 1968

A day later it might be a '69, but there's quite a list of odd early-late-etc '69 parts out there too, so you still would have had plenty to deal with! :thumbs:

:iagree:...Ain't that the damn truth. Even with the AIM, some parts/screws/bolts/placement are still not the same.

FWIW: here's the link to my favorite perpetual calendar. http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/index.html

Plug in the year you want, click Show, then determine on which day of the week your Corvette was born, or your block was cast, or your engine was assembled, or the day your car shipped.

My 69 was born march 17th and I was born 2/28/69. Looks like I am 17 days older than my car.

My 73 trim tag is C10, I figure sometime between Oct 10 (Tuesday) and Thursday (Oct 12, 1972) as the day the car rolled off the production line based off what has been posted here on the forum. The Corvette registry listed the date as Oct 12, very close to the trim tag day.

Close enough. Your car may have been completed sometime on Wednesday, the 11th, depending upon the time of day the car reached the tag station the day before. Just the same, Thursday works.
