Whether it is a 66 or 67, I've always loved that white on red with a red stinger color combo. Stunning!

That's a Strange Vin sequence

Posted ad's says VIN# 1946765107975

Is it State issued ??? dont know.
But the black book references the following.>


1963 Started with 30837S XXXXXX
1964 = 40837S XXXXXX
1965 = 194375S XXXXXX
1966 = 194376S XXXXXX
1967 = 194377S XXXXXX

That number is correct for the 7975th 66 built which would have been a convertible. The highlighted "5" should be an "S" but that's a common mistake made by the person filling out the info. for the title.
Regardless, that VIN doesn't belong to that car.

Not so fast. Those are coupe VINs. A convertible would have a "6" in place of the "3"s in your examples.

Well, don't say I never did anything for you! This goes back to about 1969 or so. Not mine, belonged to a woman in the Corvette CLub back then.

Ok looks like a 66 Conv. and an mistaken S = 5

1965 = 194675S XXXXXX
1966 = 194676S XXXXXX
1967 = 194677S XXXXXX

Check the kick up horizontal area on drivers side frame for a Vin.

Well, if that number IS correct then it IS a '66.

Obviously the frame number would be very helpful about this point in the discussion.

Picture of the Z-Bar and VIN tag would be helpful.

My first look at this car, I thought the rear fenders were flared/ducktailed but its only a mud flap. Nice looking car if all checks out with year for 50k or under. Looks like it started as a SB car.

Yes lordy. Don't fall into the trap that your modified car is one of those one-of-one factory mix-ups, or, that it was owned by some GM exec that ordered it with a potpourri of different year parts.

EVERYthing that could be done to these cars WAS done to these cars over 50+ years.

There are people who own a Corvette, and there are Corvette People. There is a difference.

No, not at all.

My comment was in response to a post which was deleted by its author, asking how the previous owner could have the car 40 years and not have the VIN right. I wondered why I could not get the quote to work, apparently he was deleting as I was trying to quote it.

My point was just because someone owns a Vette - even for a long time - does not necessarily mean they know much about it.

Apparently fstblk66 has been a little shy about posting the VIN for all to see...

Maybe he feels with all the comments he is having second thoughts on his purchase...

Unfortunately, a can of worms has been opened. Another case of an uninformed buyer asking questions AFTER the purchase.

, but then some times I envy the 'not-knowers' as they can just enjoy owning/driving and not be caught up in the often **** other 'stuff'
