I've got a 1970 that I bought just for the fun of having a corvette. A number of years later, I'm trying to decide if I should restore it judging-style or just restore it as a daily driver, somewhat original somewhat not.
Doing some prelim checking at the various dates on the car, I came up with this:
My trim code build date is C09 - March 9th.
My VIN number indicates that this car is a June-July build - 14831
My Muncie 4-speed build date is POH23A - June 23rd.
My engine is A200 - January 20th.
The transmission has a VIN match on it, so I know its a correct piece. The block is a CE, but not VIn stamped, so I know its a repro.
Going through my NCRS manuals that arrived in the mail yesterday, I know I have a six month window for build month on several components. But havining a trim code 3 months earlier than my tranny code makes me wonder. Is this legit?
Thanks for any info.
