Who has an early delivery date for the next year.

My 1998 Trans AM was Built on 8/5/1997

It was sold from a dealer in troy michigan on 8/6/1997.

Kinda neat and it must have sold quick.

What you got?

I had a Jan of 84 Chrysler Conquest, technically making it an 84, but all my research to find parts (when I had it) showed no 84 Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge Conquests. So I just considered it an 85 :\ Had all the fixings of the latter badged "TSi" models too, but wasn't. Was quite an odd duck.

Sorry to get off topic, but that's the only in depth info I have on a car I owned The 91 Bird I didn't care to look at it's build date, and my 93 isn't near me to check, nor does it have detailed info available like the 98+ years have

My 2001 convertible was built in October of 2000. Not sure when GM started the '01 production run but I do know that they ended the '01 production in May '01 to get started on the final model year.

My car was built in July of 1999 converted to a WS6 on August 3, 1999. ASC is #132 of 8,421. So i would say mine is pretty early in the WS6 class of that year.

IIRC 91 cars could have been built as early as feb or so of 1990. 1991 fbods came out early due to chevy losing the rights to use the IROC name on the Camaro

My Carfax report shows my '98 being registered on 10/13/1997. I thought that was pretty old
