Build Date from VIN? - 01/23/21 07:11 PM
Hi all! First time poster here.
I am brand new to the forum, having just picked up a sweet '63 Biscayne 409/425/4 spd car. I am quite familiar with forums and have many resource books for Corvettes, however, the full size stuff is all new to me. I'm so excited to have this car and to be here.
I am ordering a Vintage DELCO battery for the car and want to have it date stamped. To do this effectively, I need the build date. My car's VIN is 31211B2531XX. What I've learned so far is that the first digit denotes model year, the next 4 digits denote the model/engine. The "B" denotes Baltimore. What I'm trying to get to is when this VIN would have gone down the assembly line. Is there a guide out there somewhere, or does someone have the ability to tell me what month and day this car was assembled?
Any help is most appreciated.
Thanks.
Don
