Our Cars Birthday- Born Date

[Steve Shauger]

This is a new thread where you post pictures of your cars on their born, production or delivery date. Post pics of your car in the month it was produced!

My car was born today 3/16/69 at the Norwood assembly plant (according to the GM assembly records). It's amazing on 6/19/2024 I will have owned the car 25 years!

No longer ours but I thought it was pretty cool that is was born on the same day in March that I was.

My Corvette Bronze 1968 Z/28 was built 3/13/1968 in Los Angeles. It's a 02E car. On March 18th, 1976 I became the 9th owner & still own it....Joe

Great idea for a thread-ours was born tomorrow (03/17/70) on St. Patricks Day. Didn't realize that until now. I think I'll raise a pint of Guiness tonight in it's honor!

Mine was final-assembled at Norwood on March 6th, 1969. By coincidence I “met” the car - flew out to see it before buying - on March 5th (2020). So March is Camaro month at our house :beers:

Beautiful cars born in March 1969! This 396 Z11 born March 10, 1969. Baby pic from 1970. Acquired March 2021 as worse than basket case.. Current state March 16, 2024, soon to be finished and resurrected...

[396 SS/RS]

Great looking cars!
I am the 2nd owner of a mostly original loaded '68 396 SS/RS that I first purchased in '86 and is an 09C car.
It was purchased on 11/14/67 from Charles Smith Chevrolet in Florence, SC. (Zone 16 Dealer Number 704). I have the POP and early service records.

How do you determine the exact born on date? Thanks

[1967 4K]

The NCRS shipping data report states the plant production date.I’d call that its official birthday.

They are 15x6 Cragar GT+ wheels. I have the original January '67 DF wheels too.

[396 SS/RS]

The NCRS shipping data report states the plant production date. I’d call that its official birthday. Thanks, being that I knew the original owner (I kept in contact with him for 3 years before he decided to sell it to me), have the POP, and know the dealership it was purchased from I just don't see anything else I could glean from buying the NCRS report other than the estimated born on date.

[ZAPPER68]

Last September I sold my '69 428 SCJ 4 speed Ranchero. It's born date was June 11th 1969, my Dad's 50th birthday.

I have way too many vehicles to remember all their birthdays.

Except for one- the Tripower 4-speed GTO that rolled out of the factory doors in Pontiac MI in 1965 on the same day as I was born.

My 70 Chevelle LS-5 GM official production day was Feb. 2nd, Groundhog day, in Baltimore.

This is a fun idea for a thread, and one that should have new posts often.

But, I think a few members here are missing the point of the thread, and might have missed the one requirement for posting their vehicle. See below....


This is a new thread WHERE YOU POST PICTURES OF YOUR CARS "ON THEIR BORN, PRODUCTION OR DELIVERY DATE".



I don't think Steve was looking for everyone to just post your car on any random day and/or date, and then "tell" everyone when your production date was.

[Steve Shauger]

This thread should include cars built in there designated month. Presently we are in March so ideally cars built/born in the month of March. In 14 days, April will arrive and post cars built in April. It's not a strict rule but helps organize cars built in their month. This will be an ongoing thread so everyone's cars will be listed. You can list both past and present cars you've owned.

According to the NCRS report the Camaro was born 55 years ago today on March 21st, 1969. Not sure how long it took for the car to make it to the dealer but it was sold on July 7th.

I just received the C-N-C document on my Camaro today. It was built on Friday, February 24th, 1967.
The dealer it was sent to from the Van Nuys plant was, F.H Dailey Motor Co in Oakland, CA. The car was brought to Wisconsin by the PO from Point Reyes Station, so it seems it never got far from home.

A few years ago my "broadcast sheet" was found by a friend. It was actually under the passenger side seat! I had no idea it was there or that it was a place to even look!! Anyway, the really cool thing is, the date on the sheet is June 20th 1969, which is exactly one year before we were married on June 20th 1970! So, yes, not only is today our anniversary, number 54, but it's the Nova's 55th birthday!!

Here's a pic of the broadcast sheet.....and a pic of the Nova from a few years ago. And, yes, I still have it!!

On Aug 28, 1969 my 1969 Camaro SS396 will be 55 years old. I purchased it in spring of 1981 which means I've owned it for 43 years. It was a daily driver for many years & I managed to put 80,000 miles on it, Now 167,000. The car has gone through 2 restorations. The last restoration was done with either NOS or restored original components. At MCACN 2021 it scored 982 points out of 1,000. I guess it will be with me till the end....Joe

Finally! September! I've been waiting for this!

We'll start here -

This one was ordered through Dick Jesse at Royal Pontiac specifically for my dad to race. 389 tripower, 4 speed, 3.90 gear, metallic brakes.

Built September 18th in Pontiac Michigan; instead of going to the hospital to see my new baby sister Dad and I went down to Royal to pick the car up.

I had it out over the weekend and I think it now has around 5170 miles on it. Original unrestored condition (born with powertrain, paint and interior); Never been in the snow, never sat outside over night, only been in the rain a couple times and, other than the stint at the Gilmore Museum, never been out of our direct control.

This car was the NHRA B/Stock national record holder in 1965 and best ET is 12.23 @118mph in B/MP trim (headers, '67 heads and '66 tripower, 9" slick).

Built in late September of 1973 in Oshawa he ordered the base Malibu so that he could get the Police package. He still ordered the same interior as was in our '73 Monte Carlo, with the black/grey herringbone weave, swivel buckets, rally cluster and console shift. 454, TH400, 3.42 posi, 8" rally wheels with HR60-15 Goodyear tires.

Delivered through Robert Uptegraff Chevrolet in Davison; the building is still there operating as Hank Graff Chevrolet for some many years.

Mom drove it four years and I got it after she was done. I started racing this car in 1978, so this year marks 46 years racing this same car.

Weighing in at 4100 pounds originally, first pass was a 15.10 and I had it going 14.90's by the end of the day.

It's a svelte 3550 lbs now; Best pass to date is 9.85 at 136mph. It wants to go 9.80's even in the heat and, to be honest, I don't really know how fast it will go. Maybe mid 9.60's? I'm planning a test session after the formal season is over to see what it will really do.

[Keith Seymore]

This is a fun one, I think.

Back in 1986 I was a GM company car driver. They changed the policy and took away my wheels so I needed something to drive.

Since I worked in the Flint truck assembly plant naturally I figured a pickup truck would be a good daily.

I saw the "new for 1988" GMT400's and didn't really like the way they looked so I hurried and ordered this '87. 4.3L V6, fuel injected, MY6 New Process A833 3 speed manual with overdrive, Hurst floor shifter, 3.73 gears with posi.

I followed it down the line as it was built and drove it through the shipping building myself. I got to the plant at 4pm on Monday Sept 29 1986 and it was just coming down out of trim. I followed the body through trim and ran downstairs to follow the engine/chassis build. I let the driver take it through roll test and onto the short line repair. After the short line I drove it to the shipping building and told the boss "Lloyd - this is MY truck". I left the plant about 1am Tuesday and by 5pm it was sitting at Graffs in Davison (I still had to pay $525 destination fee for those 9 or 10 miles).

I drove it for four years in Michigan and Arizona and then sold it to my in-laws. They had it for 18 years and then I got it back when my father in law passed, just as I was losing my company vehicle for a second time! This little truck has bailed me out twice -

[Bob Martin]

I'll Try to make a long story short. A friend of mines father was friends with a guy that purchased the car in 1971 from the insurance auction. Supposedly the car was taking apart one head, intake and carburetor was in the trunk. He assembled the motor and it ran hot so he took the motor out of the car and it sat in the garage. He passed away about 15 years ago & my friend introduced me to his wife and I was lucky enough to buy it a couple years ago. she wanted it to go to the right person. unfortunately the motor and tranny is MIA from what I was told he had the original Motor & tranny and it was a L89 but she says it wasn't the original one.

I put it in about 17-18 years ago and had it rebuilt 7 or 8 years ago. It is a real Jan 1969 4 bolt main with the original 840 heads. The block has been bored .070 and has a set of custom Diamond pistons. It has a hydraulic roller cam, Edelbrock Airgap intake with an 850 Holley carb. It dynoed at 543 hp and 532 ft lbs torque. Below is a video of it running.

Seems a little slow on this thread so I'll throw one on that's not seen every day. I parted with this car around 10 plus years ago. The restoration efforts were performed during my ownership. I believe this '70 Chevelle LS5 convertible to be one of the earliest produced with a Van Nuys build date of 12/17/69. It came with the original build sheet.....buckets and M22 equipped. I followed these particular convertible models equipped with the LS-5 for probably a dozen years through ads, etc. and found none that were fully documented with a production date earlier than this. They could be out there but I never found one with docs. I was told at one point that one of the very earliest LS-6 versions was produced one day earlier at Van Nuys as well. Don't know if that is true or not. Both the noted LS-6 one and mine were shipped to Denver but to different dealerships. I don't have the full history of our car but know it spent considerable time in CO & OK. The car still needed a very few small finishing items when I sold it. Very solid, rust free, and original for the most part. I would term it a high driver level after restoration.......too nice to drive eventually for my comfort level anyway.

Today is the birthday of my 1969 L71 Corvette.
Dec. 16, 1969
It’s a very late build, Tuxedo black car.
Apparently it was originally a Sidepipe car according to all the previous owners.
Not sure why the guy I got it from removed them.
The black and white pic is from the second owner.

This 1967 Corvette was born on this day, January 5th, 1967. Selling dealer Tank Chevrolet, Ray ND. I have owned it since 1977.

Marina Blue, Bright Blue, still retains its original Teal Blue soft top.

Very nice 67 Vette, thanks for sharing this with us.

[markinnaples]

Tuna Joe, that '69 Vette is killer. I had a buddy in HS whose sister had a chrome bumper C3 and I loved that car; I've always loved the C3 in general, but the chrome bumpers are my favorite like most people. Can't wait to see that completed.
And to me, C3's have been criminally undervalued for so many years now.

And of course, that '67 is stunning as well.

----Teak wheel is only an OK repro. The windshield washer fluid container is wrong. Goldlines aren't on the invoice but if good condition I'd leave them.

----Teak wheel is only an OK repro.

I agree with you both on the wheel. The car originally had a plastic wheel, and that is how the car is coming to me. I bought the car from a friend (I've know of this car for about 3 years now). The teak wheel was not part of our deal (which I prefer in this case).

Bill W,

What wire/cable is running under the “cover” on the RH side of your Malibu?
Also was that cover galvanized or black paint originally?

My ‘65 GTO came with the optional rear power antenna, plus a rear seat speaker.
All the wiring (antenna coaxial, black/white power wires, plus the blue wire for the speaker) run under that protective cover.

I have a spare electric (switch, wiring, cover) assembly.

[67since67]

Beautiful '70 Chad! Let me know when you are up this way.

Chris, I should have known you'd be the one to call me out on that cover! :beers:
This car was, ahem, "restored" :rolleyes2: 25 years ago and the cover, although not rusted, had been painted black with no galvanized left underneath.

On this one it's a rear antenna coaxial only. The Maroon convert has wiring for rear speaker and power top ran through that cover.

Sorry Bill, I didn’t intend to call out anyone as I assumed that cover was originally galvanized, but I was just curious.

Gosh Tim, as you are aware this one has had quite the story....the biggest challenge was dealing with the amateur restoration done 25 years ago. If it wasn't such a rare car with the critical components in place I would have cut it loose long ago.

This time 59 years ago this Cameo Ivory on Red ‘66 GTO rolled out of the Fremont plant in California.
I’ve owned it for 34 years.

It’s amazing this rare car (3x2 / Auto) still retains everything it was built with.
Original paint, interior and factory powertrain.

Of the 1759 “YR” built this year most have been altered to a 4 speed and mechanical linkage.
It was a common practice in the late 60’s to toss all that complicated Vacuum linkage that came on these cars.
Not only complex, but extremely dangerous to the unexperienced. I know firsthand.

He doesn’t get out much so allow me to share.
