1967 Corvette
I am trying to tack down where my car went from the factory.
Acording to NCRS the Dealer code is 0 and Zone 21.
I bought the car 2017 in England but it seems to have spent many
years in South Africa since it changed hands in 1979 to
a gentleman in Blantyre Malawi.
The vin is 194677S116293
I will appreciate any help

I don't have an answer for you, but just as some anecdotal information, the NCRS Shipping Data Report for my car states:
The original delivery dealer was Dealer code 1 in zone 21
The name and address for the Dealer was:
Foreign Distributors Division - Export
I don't know if there's any relationship between your document and mine, but it seems from your information that your car may have been sent over-seas.
Here is link to an old thread here on the forum that may be of some interest: Gene Jantzen Chevrolet - CorvetteForum - Chevrolet Corvette Forum Discussion
I hope you find the information you're looking for. If you do, please share it here.

I did some research now that led to this
The first owner Mr H Schulz living i Blantyre Malawi ordered the car at the 1967 New york automobil show.
The 10th of January 1979 he sold it to Mr J Campbell.
In 1987 he moved to England bringing the Corvette also.
10th of october 1989 Mr Campbell sold the car to Mr Orkin who did a total nut and bolt restoration.
After 28 years of ownership he let the car go and i was the lucky buyer here in Sweden.

Really nice that you were able to track down the history of your car. That car had to be a pretty rare sight in South Africa in 1967.
Thanks for sharing the information.

I believe 21‐000 is the code for Canada... they may have some of your documents.

I gotta believe it would have been even more exclusive in Malawi in the 1960s. Malawi is among the world's least developed countries even now.

Still an unusual vehicle in that time and place, being owned likely by a British colonial in Africa during the late 60s adds to its story!
