cool. My VIN ends in 18765, making it a Monday morning 1 June final assembly date. How close is yours to mine?

Mine is also in "sick bay." Got to finish my engine rebuild!

Mine's ends at 921, yours must have rolled off early that day and mine towards the end.

Cool. Did yours roll off on 1 or 2 June?

There is an old stickee thread up top where Steve Alexander was doing a complete and intensive tear down and rebuild of a '65 vert with a VIN very close to yours and mine.
