Born on Date
Needing a transmission cooler line, I have found a need to know my production date. Since Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck changed the drivers door on my car before I owned it.. my production date has been unknown.
Being at Intense, Todd called the dealer and they could not find it in the system. Dealer said that'* typically because of a salvage or etc. My title was clean though.
Stopped into my local dealer and they couldn't find it. The parts guy calls another person at the dealer to ask. Any vehicle over 10 years old is no longer listed in their database for the type of query he did. Then he pops part of my VIN in to look up the trans line I need and POOF, there'* all the info including build date for my car.
11/20/96 is the date baby was born.

According to my door tag it was built in Aug 96 but according to car fax it wasn't registered until Oct of 97' and only had 42 miles on it. I've heard the date on the door is the date the frame was made and can sit for a couple months until they actually make the car. do any of you know if thats true or not?
