1970 VIN Number

[GPJ80]

Just wondering if any one has any knowledge about the last 6 digits of the VIN number on a 1970 vette matching the engine number . I thought  they should match but others tell me that  they did'nt match with VIN that year , Is this true

[jolinari]

original engine has VIN derivative


To answer your question. Yes, the engine stamping should match the VIN on a correct car

Yeah thanks for your help , I thought they should match , I'm looking at buying this car which is a hot car by the way , But would prefer a matching No's car , Is a shame . Its a 1970 coupe with VIN 194370S412218 and engine number is T0706CKW . Also is there anyway one can find out what that car would of come out with from factory apart from the spec sheet on top of the fuel tank , I do know this car is wrong colour by looking at the plate on left hand door post , Have tried different sources but no one seems to have much info on these cars . Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks again ........

By the way , Does anyone know anyone who has a neat 1970 matching number red coupe vette for sale......Thanks ;)

Trim 400 must be  Vinyl Upholstery Black

976 must be Mulsanne Blue

Hey dude if it is not original, it does not mean that the car is not good or not worth it. Consider  the car if it is well priced unless you only want original stuff, but be prepared to pay premuims!!!
