Default Build date for 1981 Coupe

I am sure this topic has been addressed before but here goes.

How do I get a build date on my 1981 coupe?

Thanks

There is a trim plate attached to the driver's door pillar post. These years were different I believe to what we are used to seeing-if I'm not mistaken, these cars had like say DIII, which would be something like D=April, III=3rd week, so it'd translate to third week of April '81. You'll have to post your actual trim tag info for any of us to decipher it. Just found out that '81's begin with "B", then should say like 05A, which would be 5th month of production, "A" equals first week, "B" second week and so on.

Here is a link to a "birthday calculator' this will help to tell you when your car was built. Just plug in the VIN http://www.execpc.com/~zvg/ncrswebpa...s/bdaycalc.htm

1981 Corvettes:

1g1ay8764bs400001 to 1G1AY8764BS431611 were built in St. Louis = No records?

1g1ay8764b5100001 to 1g1ay8764b508995 These cars were built at Bowling Green and the build sheets are on record there thru the museum.

If your in there, go for it! :yesnod:
