1971 Corvette Tank Sticker

[Robert C.]

I found the Tank Sticker of my 1971 Corvette that the previous owner put in a bag. It is in very bad shape and I can't read it very well. At the top it has a line that says PAINT. There is several almost unreadable letters or numbers there that I high lighed in Red looks like 1VG...... Where do I find what codes that should be for a Sunfire Yellow or Ontario Orange 1971 Corvette? I know what the Trim Tag codes are but do not know what the number on the Build Sheet is. Can anyone help?
Also, what should be in the section I highlighted in Blue if it is a 350 or 454?


Thanks.

Re: 1971 Corvette Tank Sticker

Have you tried "back lighting" your paper work? Shine a light from behind and see if any text shows up. You can also try scanning your document into a .jpg format (picture) and then use one of the photo programs to adjust color/contrast to see if you can get some text to appear.

The PAINT should be 1V987.....for Ontario Orange or 1V912....for Sunflower Yellow.

The ENGINE section will have the option number to the left and description to the right, unless it's a base engine (which may show nothing, as seen above).
