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.
