Regardless - it's likely going to be 3/14/69 or a day or two prior.
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.
