My Judge built 01C has block/heads/intake dated the end of October 1968. The block ID matches the car ID. That is about 10 weeks. The carb was made 5 weeks before the week the car was assembled.

How did you come up with July 14 as a build date? I think we only have the week.

These guys are in Waukesha, and had walnut shells a couple of years ago when I needed them for one of my restorations. I am more experienced with Corvette restorations than Pontiacs, but your present intake date would satisfy even the pickiest NCRS judge I ever met. Maybe Pontiacs were assembled differently making the required dates much closer together.

Thanks for the information, Shane. I am in Waukesha now. I will call today.

Without looking at my PHS papers, I believe there is a ship date or completion date (can't remember exactly which) of July 14. I remember this distinctly as it is also my wedding anniversary which I offered to my wife as why "we were meant to have this car."

Dan Whitmore is building the engine and I don't have the date codes available. I should get the engine back soon and can update the board if anyone cares for this information.

The PHS does not show the build date--the ship date is after the build date of course. My car was built 01C (January, third week) and shipped 2/5/69. That intake manifold date may be closer than you think!

Look at your data plate for the build month and week.

On the PHS, there is a date of execution (date papers were drawn) and date shipped (self explanatory). Sometimes they are the same date, sometimes the shipped date is later. The Car was built within one or two days before the execution date.

That's a good story about your anniversary date, it still shares a common date in one form or another. I'd milk it for all it's worth with her as needed.

Baron:

You wouldn't believe the mileage I got out of it! And to be honest, the car means a little more to me with that date being of some importance. Imagine if it would have been her birthday. Which gives me an idea....

Man, definately play that card!!!

Once my wife found out the car I was looking at was built the same day as my daughters birthday, she practically forced me to buy it no matter what the price.
