Why can't i extract the Date Code from the Chassis Number? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
For example, on my car, the sticker on the door jamb is long gone. But shouldn't i be able to extract the Date Code from the Chassis Number? CN: #3329543 According to the CN decoder, that means my car was build in Week 33, Day 2 of 1970. Hence, the Date Code should be 08/70 ... Yes? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |

I have several examples of Aug production in my database. 1971 production did not start until September, but does appear to end in July. 1972 production did not start until September, but does appear to end in June. 1973 production started in August and does appear to end in July. 1974 production started in August and does appear to end in July. 1975 production started in July and does appear to end in June. 1976 production did not start until September and ends in December. |
