Build Date
How can you find a cars build date?
My car has a 3/14/69 ship on the green invoice Mike |
Do you have the NCRS report?...Joe

Start with the month & week stated on your cowl tag too.

I can give a few examples
LA built 1968 Z/28, 02E, finished on 3/13/1968 & invoiced 3/18/1968 Another LA built 1968 Z/28, 02E, finished 3/13/1968, invoiced 3/18/1968, ship date was 3/15/1968 1969 Norwood built ss396 Camaro, 08E, finished 8/28/1969, invoiced 9/4/1969 It would appear LA at least, invoiced cars after they were shipped. Maybe shipped 2 days after completed or so. William probably would have more details on that. Joe |

Takes a couple 8 hour shifts for the body to get through body shop and paint; once it hits trim line it's about an 8 hour run to the end of final. Assuming no repair (major or otherwise) it can go straight to shipping and out the door. Minor repairs can delay it a few hours or a day; major can be days and/or weeks. I say all this to say: even if you find a reported "ship date" in documentation somewhere there is going to be some "fuzz" around that date. I drove my 87 pickup off the end of the line and to the shipping building myself. I left the plant at about 1am Tuesday Sept 30th but the "ship date" on the invoice is reported a day earlier - probably because the pay point occurs at the end of final, not the shipping building. So whatever you find out: give it a day either way. K |
Another example: the "invoice date" on my '65 GTO is 9/21/1964 - the first day a '65 GTO could be "sold".
We picked the car up on 9/18/64 - three days prior. It was apparently post dated so nobody would get in trouble (or because they already had the paperwork filled out that way). K |
