Sure, buying a copy of the build slip is the way to go. If it's missing, bracket your VN with the nearest before and nearest after.

I the absence of that, start with the casting date on the block, the transmission, and the date stamped on the back of the clock and the radio. And look for a date stamped on the backside of the upholstery. One thing for sure, you know the car had to have been built after the latest of those dates.
