The decal on your driver's door will tell the month/year.
If you contact phs-online.com, you can get the exact day of assembly. Mine was July 1, 1999. The decal on my door says 07/99.

what if there is no decal on the door? I know the car had some work done on it and I believe the door was either replaced or repainted, so no decal. Is there another way I can get that information? Thanks in advance.
Found mine on the Manifest sheet(build sheet which was dated a few days prior to the build) - found it in the car after original purchase(has all of the RPO codes including some not on the door sticker

For those of you who don't have the door sticker, build sheets, or any other documentation there may be an answer for you. I recently did this for my 1981 Camaro and I was most impressed.
Send an email to the GM Media Archive vehicleinvoice@gmmediaarchive.com , making sure to include your name, contact information, and your VIN. They have EVERY GM car dealer invoice stored and they will send a copy of the original dealer invoice to you for $50. I know that sounds like a lot of money, but for me it was well worth it to get the info for my 81 Camaro.
They are backed up a few days, but they will contact you to get your payment information. Then, they will either email or postal mail a copy of the dealer invoice to you.

Gas tank sticker is de rigeur for Vettes.
The Manifest Sheet (or Build Sheet) is the actual instruction sheet that goes with the car, down the line. The codes are what the line workers use to pick and place the actual parts and pieces on the assembling vehicle. It's printing date will precede the actual "finish" or "completion" date, which is the date that appears on the Dealer Invoice. Actual build time varies, but is seldom more than two working days...

'98-00 took about 4.5 days. '01 and '02 took 5.3 days. My Formula was on the line from 8/19 to 9/2.
