It could have been on the carbs themselves, but I don't recall that.

It WAS on some of the advertising...

Ok build date of car is 10A - what year of car is it? If it's a 69 is it 10A of 68 or 69? What engine?

Unfortunately due to several factors I wasn't able to check the 69 350 CE block last weekend that I have in storage. Too many other things were going on. But I will check it when I can and report back.

You fellas are saying that CE engine *assembly* was done on weekends?   The CE engine in my '69 Corvette was cast on 18 September 69 (a Thursday).. no idea what day it was assembled.

Ps.  The cast date for the Corvette CE engine being 18 Sep, coincidentally happens to be the same day as my Camaro rolled off the assembly line at Norwood...   :)
Gary, the assembly date is on the surface the starter bolts to.

I understand that's the hypothesis of some of these posts (but this thread is the only time I've ever heard that).. I've never had the engine out of my Corvette so I cannot contribute on that.  It would seem to be a good idea to 'prove/disprove' that plus the 'weekend' assembly  theory via a table, such as we've done with other discussions.  ie.  If someone put the table together which included:   CE#, cast code (and cast date), 'assembly' date as theorized, and 'day of the week assembled' .. That might begin to tell us some things as we get enough entries...

Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it's not possible.

We need a lot more data points...

Was the car in question actually built in June of 68?

I always love seeing that picture with all of those COPO's parked out back!

Me too!  :)

100 CORVAIRS had to be built for SCCA. 

This link below is an interesting read.  I can not verify that it is 100 percent accurate though.

Carb for June car, yes most likely dated in May. Early June carb possible if car is a late June build.

Did anyone snag some of the pics?  Curious what condition it was in.

The ad probably sold some cars for them... :)

That was about 4 hours from me.  In a way I wish I had known about it sooner.  But it would have been a multi year project. Saveable but with a LOT of work.

It is rough, but MAYBE could be brought back.  Bidding is mainly for the parts....

Assembled second shift on the 12th, inspected the next day by the F inspector? 

Speculation only...

Would need more examples. I will try to look at a couple that I have over the weekend.

Thoughts, pretty sure the 01 9 V is January 1969 - Flint. This is based on other examples.

01 13 F could be the actual day of assembly, Jan 13 and an inspectors or assemblers mark/letter designation.

No idea on 12 2.

We have sold pop and water at swap meets before. Some don't allow it to those without a good vending permit. Our "workaround" was to have a sign selling lug nuts for $1 (or whatever the price you charge) - then state "free water or pop with purchase of each lugnut".
