early or late 65 chev vin? 166375c113609

i want to know if this car could have been a 409 car?

Does it have a build date on the cowl tag?

Build date from the cowl tag and which plant produced it could help narrow it down it was the 13,609 car which is fairly early in the production run. Just as an example if production was 200 cars per day x 5 days a week =1000 cars per week divide 13,609/1000 cars and that would land it around the 13th week. If it was double the production it would be half the weeks.

The VIN does not tell you which V8. If It's early....could have been.

Build date on cowl like Mike said. This gets confusing because so many people say that if you do not have one by the 4 week of March it doesn't exist. However there seems to credible cars with later dates. However I am not sure of anything anymore. An example to look for like mine is 02C built in los angeles.

Rock Fish will chime in but I believe the last 409 was built in early January.
