Reply to "Model Year"

Lets look at a sample VIN number & break it down: THPNNK06521. With regard to the VIN number, the 5th & 6th character gives the production info. For example THPNNK. That NK tells me the car is Oct '73. ND for November, NE December. Beginning Jan of '74 [and all 1974's ~usually~ carry P codes but I have seen & owned exceptions. Example THPNPL the PL is a Jan 1974. PY Februrary. PS March, PT April. I used the word ~usually~ because some cars were held back due to paint issues or perhaps they developed a mechanical ill or were damaged at the factory. Several examples come to mind but that's outside the scope of the inquiry. Such notes can be found in the Van Ess Registry & perhaps with Chuck Milton as well. Hope this helps.
