[vin] Wtf???
Bought an 80 from a guy in California. Everything is legit. Clear title. etc.
Someone over in C4gen posted carfax 'til the end of the month, so I figure what the hell, I'll run it. He sends me a PM saying it comes back as not a valid number!?!
Any ideas?

I have put a light up to it, and this IS the VIN.

Another neat thing about your VIN is the last FIVE digits of your VIN. 00541 is the production sequence of your car, meaning it is #00541 out of 40,614 1980 Corvettes built that year. I believe they were making about 170 cars per day then, so your car is probably a "third" or "fourth" day production car-a very, very "early" car.
