<VV> Production date question: When was my '65 built?

[Rick Loving]

Thanks for sending me the pic of your Fisher tag.

Here is what I see when I look at your Fisher Tag and VIN info.

Your Fisher Tag..

11B = Body was built the 2nd week of November 1964

65-10737 = 1965 Model Corvair Corsa coupe

LOS = Car was built at the Los Angles Assembly Plant

BODY 620 = Your car was the 620th Corsa Coupe body assembled at Los Angel

TR 713 = Black Imitation Leather Bucket seats with black painted interior surfaces

PAINT Y-Y = Crocus Yellow exterior paint body and roof (not two tone)

 

ACC = (listed below)

E= RPO A01 Tinted Glass (Soft Ray glass in all windows)

2= Group 2 options begin

L= RPO M20 4 Speed manual transmission

P= 2 spd Wipers (LOS listed this separately from the CC group)

3= Group 3 options begin

C= RPO B70 Padded Dash (black)

4= Group 4 options begin

P= RPO Z01 convenience group ( 2 sp wipers, washers, day/night inside mirror ).

Based on your VIN your car was the 5,812nd Corvair assembled at the Los Angles plant for the 1965 model year. 

Los Angles only produced 28,865 Corvairs for the 1965 model year and only around 4,020 1965 Corsa coupes with 140 hp engines.
