Kinda new to this. Can you tell from the VIN when the car was made?
I have a 73 'Cuda. sequence number is '273675.
Thanks guys

Can't really tell just from the last VIN digits. It is a higher number, so likely in early 1973.
Do you have the fender tag? If so, the second row up from the bottom, the second set of numbers in from the right would give a specified production date. That might be close, but has been found to be just when it was scheduled to be build and not actually built.

The decal on the left (drivers side) door is going to tell month and year. :alan2cents:

3B273675 would've been "SCHEDULED" during December 1972

a door decal would show the "MONTH / DAY / HOUR" the car was completed

here's a Satellite Sebring Plus that was "SCHEDULED" in June, but not "built" until July :takealook:

I would guess it to be a mid-year... mine is 567783 and made July 73...
