There should be quite a few. They start building them the prior year. My '01 was built in Oct 2000. The '02's started in the summer of '01, etc....

Exactly. My 2002 was built in August of 2001.

12/99 was already several months into the 2000 model year production.

This information can be found on a sticker on the driver's door jamb in MM/YY format.

If that sticker is not present, and/or you would like the exact build date, you'll need to run your VIN through the GM VIS program (at a dealer), or a similar service offered by sources such as Compnine.com.
