50th Birthday
 

I'm trying to find out the correct day for my 69 Conv turning 50 years old. Data plate is 11 D. PHS docs has date shipped 12-5-68 date of note 12-9-68 date of execution 12-5-68 and interest from 12-24-68. I do not have the POP and not sure how to tell if there is an exact date. Thanks, Marc.

I would say a cars true birthday is the day it was delivered into the hands of it's first owner ... just like a human :)

Great, now I will have to find the original POP. That should be easy.😢

I would say its B-Day is the ship date on the phs due to it leaving the womb (aka factory). After all thats when it was completed and ready to rip. Cheers

You throwing a party for it?

Agree; ship date=B day.

My car was a zone lot car .... so it was left in the nursery and no one wanted it :)

I go by the week on the trim tag and pick wednesday of that week

Yes Greg, I was thinking of a nice 5 gallon can of Sunoco 112 for a surprise. LOL

Don't get it hooked on that stuff, mix it with regular :)

Yes I was going to mix it. It was $15 a gallon😳

I think you're trying to get her drunk so you can take advantage.

Yep :) He is a bad man :)

I use the Invoice date as the birthdate of my car. 50th was back on May 27th of this year. I use the week code on the cowl tag as the conception date. :)

Come to think of it ... do we know who the mother and father of the GTO was?

Full size engine (daddy) and mid size body (mommy). :)Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

John DeLorean was involved. Maybe a donor?

A Grand Prix and a Tempest

After reading all the replies and thinking. Has anyone tried to search to get the original POP. Was wondering if there was someone who knows how to get old information. I bought this conv. When I lived in Brooklyn NY. The car was in Whitestone Queens. I might as well add looking for the numbers matching WT motor too. Thanks, Marc.
