There is no way to know how long after the transmission was assembled & teh car build completed. About all you can do is to start a spreadsheet with dates of all the date coded parts on it that you know to be original, the car would have been built sometime after the last dated part you find.

It's a inland shifter car, and no traces of ever having a reverse light. A likely SPD would be January 10th, 1968. Seeking: 1969 St. Louis plant VINs, SPD, and VONs. Over 2,000 thanks to you!
