My guess is 69, but it's only a guess.
EDIT: Well, now it's more of an educated guess.....I got out my 1969 "Chevrolet Sports Department" brochure and it lists the 3 speed as standard in the 69 Corvette. Colvin's book does not list any Corvette engine application for a 3 speed trans for the 1970 model year or beyond.

I think the engine assembly code would be identical for 3 speed and 4 speed.

So many good stories about these cars and how they were ordered. I remember Ken's '65 arrived in March, two months early, but he was graduating from UM Rolla with an engineering degree, and he couldn't start making payments until May, so he asked the dealership to store it until he graduated. The bank told him to take the car and start making payments when he graduated. You're correct, Bill.

On Saturday after we unloaded the Corvette Brian wasted no time, giving it a wash and moving cars around to get it in his shop. He is taking point on this job, I will assist.
Monday he brought me the speedo and tach panel, the clock, and the AM/FM radio with speaker to send out. Brian is a C3 guy with two LT-1's but he has a real soft spot for this C2 coupe! On Tuesday I made contacts with vendors and packaged and shipped out the dash components. The radio only had AM, It is off to Howard Foulds in NJ. The speaker had holes, it is off to JV Restoration in CA. Shout out to Tim S. for recommending Rick's Restoration in MD! The speedo, tach and clock are going to Rick. The speedo and tach had been done in '08, but was registering 10% slow and the odo and trip were in-op. All three vendors promised about 2 week turn-around. |

Possibly, the VIN was not assigned until the posi availability issue was resolved?? But then, both delivered in March?? Would be interesting to determine the build dates. |

The body build date was G10 or 2-10-65. Production date was probably a few days later. Here is the trim tag and POP info. It was picked up on March 11, 1965.
