VIN Number
I recently changed insurance companies and they are saying that the VIN on
my '81 vette does not match the year range. They claim it to be a '78. We bought it used several years back from an individual that bought it used from a car lot. Is there a site that I can look up numbers and check them out? Thanks |

There are many group members in here that can do that and it would be a good cross check. You may have just a misread number by some clerk or computer recognition program. -- Dad 05 C6 Silver/Red 6spd Z51 72 Shark Black/Black/4spd |

VIN Number
Plug it in here http://www.analogx.com/contents/vinview.htm
1G1AY8764BS420 See the results http://www.analogx.com/cgi-bin/cgivi...ubmi t=Decode 1 G 1 A Y 8 7 6 4 B S 420 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 1st digit: Country of origin: 1 = USA, 2 = Canada. 2nd digit: G = General Motors 3rd digit: Division, 1 = Chevrolet. 4th digit: Restraint system: A = Non-passive, B = Automatic belts, C = Inflatable restraint 5th digit: Series: P = Camaro Sport Coupe, S = Camaro Berlinetta Y = Corvette 6th & 7th digit: Body Style: 87 = Sport Coupe 8th digit: Engine : See specific year for breakdown. 9th digit: Check digit - used to verify that the VIN was recorded correctly. 10th digit: Year: B = 1981 11th digit: Letter indicating assembly plant S = St. Louis, 5 = Bowling Green 12th through 17th digits: Sequential production number starting with 400001. This format began 1981, so it is impossible to be a 1978 car. The VIN format for a 1978 Corvette is 1Z87L8S400001 where 1st digit: GM line number, Chevrolet = 1. 2nd digit: Series number: Q = Sport Coupe, S = Type LT (1973 - 78), S = Berlinetta (1979 - 80) 3rd and 4th digits: Body type: 87 = Sport Coupe. 5th digit: Engine Code: See specific year for breakdown. 6th digit: Last digit of model year. i.e. 3 = 1973. 7th digit: Letter indicating assembly plant L = Van Nuys, California, N = Norwood, Ohio S = St. Louis, 8th through 13th digits: Sequential production number starting with 100001.
