How to find out my build date?

Is there any way to know the build date of my Z? With the Cobra it was right there on the door jamb.

Post your serial number and someone will (maybe) look it up for you. I would if I could, but I don't have access to that info.

That just shows 12/03

Wondering if I can get the exact day. I will PM my VIN to someone, but I'd rather not post the whole thing on the net.

Your dealer can pull up your build date thru the sequence # and TPW. You can also order a Build Sheet from the NCM that will show the date it started down the line. On my build sheet it shows 12/05 as the date started and mine was finished on 12/08. Normal time is 3-4 days to be built from beginning.
Good Luck

I have my build sheet and I was wondering where you can tell your production number.

My sequence number is 000001 No really it is 029983. Is that the sequence mine was built and since there were only 8,000+ 2003 Z06's, that must include all 2003 C5's, right?

Thanks.

Question for anyone: What's the harm in posting your VIN#?

I can walk up to anyone's car and get the VIN # looking through the windshield.

Probably the quickest way to get a fairly accurate build date is to find one of the sequence labels. You can add 3 days to the date printed on there, and you would be +/- 1 day off. The variance comes from where they stopped the assembly line and where your car was. Some 'vettes are built in 1 calendar day....... others take two.

You can find one of these behind the passenger side carpeted kickplate (where the computer is located) Look on the back of the carpeted panel, and you will see a production date for that item. I'm not sure who actually prints these, but on 5 different 'vettes I've checked, these dates were 3 days before the actual build day.

HELP! You guys have me confused when you say start date plus 3 to 4 days should be the date it came off of the line. Here's my story:

The dealer was notified and I was told that my car was born on 06/11/01.

Arrived at the dealership 06/20/01 and I picked it up on 06/21/01.

I finally ordered and just received my build sheet from the NCM - it has a date of 05/29/01. That makes it on the line for 2 weeks.

Anybody have any ideas that makes sense of these dates? My VIN is 1G1YY12S715134145 IF IT HELPS.

JoeS, go by the build sheet and add 3-4 days on that. On my build sheet it is listed as 12/ 8/03 and was final build date of 12/11/03. It was then delivered to dealer on 12/21/03, but they rushed to get all cars delivered before holiday shutdown. I would not hold much stock in the dealer. I found out more info from 1FastDog on the site about my Sequence# and TPW that my dealer had no clue about.You say your build sheet says 5/29/01 and add 3-4 days, about June 1 should have been built.and arrived at the dealer on the 21. This sounds about right to me on a time frame, Hope this helps, Jack

in all due respect, what is the big deal with born-on dates anyway?

Would you want a car built on a Friday afternoon or on a Monday morning? Supposedly it is better to find a car built on a Tuesday through Thursday. It probably doesn't matter on a Corvette I would hope. That is what the Lemon Law is for.
