VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND NEWER 1965-1970 1966 Impala

I have a "66" Impala convertible. VIN is 164676T268797. I have been told that this is a 'split year' for car production. Based on the VIN can anyone tell me the approximate date of production for this car. I am also told that this info is critical when ordering a replacement top.

As always, thanks for the help.

Dennis,

Here is the decode of the VIN

1 = Chevrolet

64 = Impala 8 Cyl.

67 = Convertible 2-door

6 = 1966

T = Assembly in Tarrytown, NY

268797 = the serial number.

They built ~ 621,800 V-8 Impalas in 1966.

The cowl tag should have two numbers followed be a letter. That tells you when the body was assembled. (11= November B = second week)

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jim. It seems that every question can be answered and every problem solved by the members of this forum.

Thanks again. Sorry it took so long to say thanks.

If you want to post the cowl tag info, we can decode that too.
