Was just wondering whether my car has any sisters on the forums. There are plenty of '76s around, it seems.

Born 21st May 1976. VIN ends in 435745

Anybody close?

Hi Ben,
Interesting list!
I'll give it a bump so you get some more looks.
How are things going on your project.... I don't see you on the Forum quite so much so I hope you're working hard and making progress!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Regards,
Alan

My wife and I (plus a bunch of high school kids) spent a New Year's Eve in London many years ago. We had big fun, but not as much fun as in Paris a couple of years later. She and I still remember London fondly!

Thanks Alan.

June 76 / 440620

Tewski

Oh so close, build date is approximately January 19, 1976.

This website got my date correct (matched the trim tag).

Racer11

Mine is 446128,,,,,when was she born ??

BenUK

Thanks for the latest additions.

Probably 8th or 9th August. You're the last one on the list now.

There were only four other Vettes between yours on the production line. That's pretty cool.

JDemp

440501 Don't know the date.

BWH76

428449. Birthday is March 30, 1976

BenUK

Those two added.

Stoff

My is 428117 Love to know its build date

BenUK

Looks from the list like it's the end of March '76. What does the trim tag above the driver's door hinge say?
