1959 block assembly date vs car assembly date?

[Garry B.]

Scenario- I have an original '59 #519 corvette block, casting date D99 and stamp F410CU. I have someone interested in buying this block for his 1959 April 16th assembly date according to his VIN and the Birthday book. How do you guys feel about the 6 day spread between the engine assembly date and the car assembly date? I know how I feel about it because I have it for sale, but he needs some reassurance from someone other than me that it would judge out properly. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Garry -

I wouldn't call that spread unusual at all.

Gary if I were judging this car I would approve it but only checking out the
rest of the cars parts that have dates on them,to make sure they all
fall in line.I usually like to see at least a two week or more span
between engine and vehicle assembly date.
