Hi, I'm new to this and may make a few mistakes along the way so be patient with me. Becoming a member of the Corvette Registery was suggested my another Vette owner. I think he got tired of me asking him questions about my Corvette. So, could anyone please help me? I would like to know if it's possible to find the "birthdate" of my Vette? I know it's a 1995, but I would really be interested in more specifics. If you could direct me to where this information is found I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks.
Rita

Hi Rita'
first off welcome! hope you find lots of useful info here. Do you by chance have the build sheet for the car? That would be the easiest...it is in box number 6 right at the top. if not there are sites on the computer that can tell you when your car was built by the VIN number. If you google that question a few pop up.
hope that helps somewhat or at least points you in the right direction...

The tag on the door will give the month/year of production. The VIN will get it down to the specific day of the month.

I am considering to buy a 1993 Coupe from the original owner with about 2,000 on the odometer !!! Does anybody have any info about mechanical history of the 93. Is a price of 19,500 a good one? Let me know what you think!!!

Dan,
great find!
I would surely check every seal , gasket, weatherstrip, sidewalls of tires...basically anything rubber to see about dry-rot.....according to the latest CORVETTE magazine there is an article in there about c4's finally on the rise $$ wise. if yours is in good- to "show-room" condition the value for a coupe is between 14,500 and 23,000. rag-tops are more and of course the 4oth aniv. ed is even a bit more.....lets see some pics!

It still turns some heads when I go to a show and shine or filling it up at the pump...I'm looking to Top-Flight the car it's all original except for tires and battery......again good luck with yours...hope to see it on here soon!
