    A Date in a weird spot

    Hello,

    I am familiar with most of the important "dates" that appear through out my 65 coupes' components. Came across one in the weirdest of spots and was wondering if someone could help me out.

    I recently completed changing all the carpet and the jute and along the "back wall" of the rear deck of the coupe when I ripped out the carpet their were two wholes about the size of a coffee lid on either side about 2ft apart. The one that was directly behind the passenger seat I quickly peared through just to see what was what and to my surprise I saw "Mar 23, 1965" on the inside of the body just opposite where the Corvette Stingray emblem is on the outside. Had to look twice just to assure myself it was a date .. it was. What does it represent? Final assembly date? Just curious ....

    Hi Peter:

    I have had a few dates in weird spots, then again, I have had a few dates that had weird spots.

    It means,

    1. somebody attempted to install some aftermarket speakers.

    2. the assembly date, as you surmised, ( I believe )

      Peter --- Agree with Jerry on the holes in the rear vertical body panel probably for speakers. Is the date you describe written in crayon, or is it an ink stamping ? The ink stamp date is found on several body panels, and is formatted the way you describe. Probably the date of panel manufacture.

        I had a VERY weird date not too long ago. I knew I was in trouble when I noted she didn't shave under her arms. I didn't mind the bare feet thing either but I took her to Le Pitit Pigale where she continually spit in the floor and ate a bananna holding it with her foot. That's what you get with a cheap dating service!
