[Jerry DiTullio]

Can somone with midyear experience translate this trim tag for me? I loaned out my manual.

837 | A-051
491C | 940A

VIN 40837 S 11565

Thanks

Since no one responded - let me take a shot

B06 October 6, 1963 build date
837 Corvette Sport Coupe | A-051 AO Smith Body #051
491C Black Vinyl Interior | 940A Satin Silver Exterior

VIN 40837 1964 Coupe S St Louis 11565 VIN number

FYI - are you sure you aren't missing one number from the VIN??????? reason I ask, for instance mine is 30837S119367

And a 11000 serial number would be much later than that.

Re: 1964 Trim Numbers

B06 is your build date, I'm not sure what month 1964 model production began, but probably a Fall 1963 (October 6th maybe)car. Someone else can probably help you there. 837 is the body style 837 = Coupe. A-051 is the body number...A means the car was an AO Smith body versus a St Louis build. 491C is a two-tone interior Silver vinyl with Gray trim. 940A is Satin Silver.
How'd I do?

Re: 1964 Trim Numbers

Oops I deciphered the trim code wrong...it should be two-toned white with black.

Re: 1964 Trim Numbers

Wayne,

of course, you are correct - but it just looked weird the way it was listed, and that is why I asked if something was missing

Was it #565 then? Or... *NM*

Re: Was it #565 then? Or...

Could the B06 be for Feb 6. The 11565 Vin would be a Feb build date.

Re: Was it #565 then? Or...

All '64's should have 6 digits after the "S", the first of which is always a "1". The "A" body number code stands for A.O. Smith. They did not start to build bodies until Jan '64. On their bodies "B" is February while "B" is October for St. Louis bodies. The digits after the "S" should be 111565.
