Z=corvette
37=coupe
K=200hp

S=St. Louis assembly plant
500663= #663 off the assembly line for that year's production run

HAVE FUN AND ENJOY IT!!!

You have wasted no time on that car. I liked the orange color that was on the car. Keep up the pace and you will be driving it next weekend.

everytime i come on here and see all these bumper vettes and think about what mine looks like , it motivates me to go work on it. so far i have it all stripped down to the fiberglass and the windshield and most of the interior out.this weekend i will finish removing everything else thats left and prime the whole car. i also have to sandblast some rust spots.
the interior is going to be the worst part of this whole job.
