Default What's your C3's birthday!

I have a 68 coupe and wondered what day it was made by the general just for kicks. Turns out it was 31 July 1968, last day of corvette production for the 1968 model year. I thought it to be kind of a neat fact.

Just to think it was one day away from being able to share parts with the rest of C3 vettes and not needing all those one year only parts...

A day later it might be a '69, but there's quite a list of odd early-late-etc '69 parts out there too, so you still would have had plenty to deal with!

My '72's birthday is approximately March 22nd. Just by coincidence, my birthday is March 24th, but I'm 21 years older than the car. Who'd a thunk it?
