66 Radiator date question

[Brian K.]

My 66 Convertible still has it's original radiator, I'm planning on buying a new one from Dewitt at Corvette Carlisle. Here's my question my VIN 15736 say's my car was built March 3rd or 4th of 1966, my original radiator is dated March (C 66) will this date cause me problems if I have the car judged? I would have thought I would have had a Feburary date not a March date, but the car has been in the family since 1973 and the date is March on the radiator. Thanks sincerely Brian Kotula

Re: 66 Radiator date question

Brian,

I say go with March. It's not only what appears to be original, but it fits fine in the judging guidelines. On my '66 with a build date of May 5th, the starter is dated May 2nd.

FWIW
