There used to be a link to the production dates by VIN on Rustbucket 57's website, but I don't see it any more. You do use the VIN. Your VIN should start with VC since it is a V8 Bel Air and the N means it was built in Norwood, Ohio.

The vin sets the assembly date, in this case May 24 1957.
However, your body number seems a bit out. Depending on the body style, for example if it was a 2dr HT BelAir Model 1037D it should be a 5 digit number of around 11XXX for that date. Check it again.

those are desirable heads. Is the block code still there? What is that?
Is the fuel line 3/8 on the outside of the passenger frame?
Peace,

997 heads for a batwing is a good deal for the batwing owner.
