You can break it down to near what it is if you know more cars with a similar Vin, but you can tell the actual day built by the fender tag if you have it ? :2thumbs:

Build dates listed on tags and broadcast sheets were an approximation; not an exact date. You can get a pretty good 'guesstimation' by comparing your VIN to cars with VINs close to you and compare their SPDs but you will never know the actual assembly date.
