1966 production schedule

[Ralph P.]

Need opinions of the actual production date of my 66 Coupe delivered to me on Feb. 26, 1966 ( Saturday). I took delivery from Hill Chevrolet in Huntsville, Ala.. I'm trying to more closely pin down the vin number as all paperwork was given to the second owner in 1968. Obviously, I need this in my search for the car. THANKS for any assistance......

What's the VIN# of your '66? You can go to the C2 Registry and they have a birthday calculator that can help determine your answer.

That's what he is trying to figure out.

The NCRS Shipping Data Report will provide an exact date.

After re-reading your post it looks like you do not have the vin.

Re: 1966 production schedule

Exactly ! The vin is my ultimate goal.... Trying to back into a narrow range of vins based on the only date known ( actual date I took delivery ). If the shipping report records were computerized , it could be searched multiple ways ...i.e. cars delivered to specific dealer within specific dates, etc. Records now are evidently only filed by vin & require someone to manually look at each vin to see selling dealer . I do remember the car hit the dealer's lot on Friday, Feb. 25th & I picked it up the next day. I don't know the exact day it left St. Louis , or, the plant schedule for that period. It is somewhat frustrating to know the information resides in Bowling Green.
THANKS

Ralph,
Not that I'm an expert, but it would seem to me that if we have the information of the rough production date and dealer code/zone the car was sent, you might be able to search that information for the cars sent to your dealer. I don't know how many corvettes your dealer would sell back then, but I wouldn't think it would be too many. The issue would be to find the person who controls that information and determine if it could be searched for your dealer during that time frame. You might try contacting NCRS to ask.
Good luck!

Your vin # and trim tag should tell you when it was built.

OP does NOT have the V.I.N.

Re: 1966 production schedule

Been there , done that...... Rob, that's exactly the thought process I had. But, it's apparently too time consuming to expect someone to go through that many paper records. I even offered to come up & spend the time myself...no luck. Anyway, should the records ever be scanned, NCRS could sell much more information than just the original dealer & production dates.

Thanks, Dennis.... That helps. Mine's probably previous week.
