<VV> 1963 SPYDER CONVERT ~ Only the VIN can tell for sure?

Right, VIN on shows "year" but the serial # part will tell you how far into
that year's run, being sequentially numbered, right?

If it's a 63 built in October it was built in Oct '62, yes.  VIN only tells
you model year.  Body tag tells you month and week, but not year.
