Re: 1975 corvette?

Not there on this one. anywhere else? Might be 1976

Re: 1975 corvette?

Still should be on the pillar post if '76 also partial number stamped on engine pad and frame and transmission.

Re: 1975 corvette?

Definitely on windshield pillar! Have a '75 and '77 sitting in shop and they both have a VIN plate on post. Beware of a car without a VIN plate. You could get stopped in a traffic check and have your car confisicated. I stand to be corrected, but I believe that it is a felony to not have a visible tag.

Re: 1975 corvette?

Robert, do you know where to look on the windshield pillar post? Stand outside of the car on the drivers side and look down towards the steering wheel through the windshield at the pillar post. You should see it at that angle if it is there. There is a cut out of the pillar post cover where the VIN plate should be visible.

It should definitely, for 100% certain be found on the left side pillar post regardless of whether the car is a 75 or a 76. As others have noted, you should see it within the "cutout" on the pillar post trim. However, sometimes the trim becomes dislocated and may "hide" part of the VIN plate. If there actually is no VIN plate, that's a MAJOR problem. That means that there's nothing to "tie" your registration and/or owner certificate to this car.

Re: Through 1982

all VINs located on the driver's side windshield post...along with the other usual stamping locations..motor, tranny and even a few oil filter boss (VIN derivatives).

Re: 1975 corvette?

okay found vin on pillar post. found trim code and paint code. having trouble figuring out the 681 paint color and the 418 trim color. 418 trim is dark saddlebut I can't find the 681 paint. vin numbers indicate this car is a 1974. 1Z37T4S428417

Re: 1975 corvette?

Hi Robert,

I don't believe that 681 is a correct paint code for a '74/'75 Corvette. The '74 codes were three digit numbers starting with a nine and I believe that the '75 codes were two digit numbers.

Re: 1975 corvette?

Possibly code 68, Dark Brown Poly??

[Johnny Johnson]

Re: 1975 corvette?

Hi Robert,

Check the trim tag again. The 418 trim code doesn't look right either for a '74/'75. The dark saddle was used in '70/'73.

Later,
Johnny

Re: 1975 corvette?

checking again numbers on trim and paint. possibly more than 1 car used to make one. Thanks you all for help . I'm sure you will get many more questions before I get this car the way it needs to be. Thanks again
