The vin is a 1969 Corvette .
The 1,9,4 means Chevrolet, Corvette, V8, , coupe "37" versus "67" for a convertible, the 9 for model year of manufacture, S stands for St Louis, and 704669 means its the 4,669th Corvette built in the 1969 model year. The body date code on the body trim tag is probably aroung C 15 or so. The means the third month of body production, October 1968 and a date. The car was probably finished a week or two after the body depending on weather or not the color was a common one as opposed to a rare one...like Black! ...

I purchased a 1971 car 2 years ago from Georgia.
Georgia does not even issue a title on older cars.
The man I bought from had bought the car about 1991 , so he was not issued a title.
When I got back home to N.C. with the car it was a piece of cake
All I had to do was take the current Georgia regristration card that the ower had and a notarized bill of sale to the DMV office.
N.C. sent me a title in my name about 2 weeks later.
No questions were asked about condition of car.
Also, N.C. cars over 35 years old do not have to get a yearly inspection
My car has no sticker in the window. It is a good idea to keep a copy of the statute that allows this in the car.

N.C. regie
Thanks for the info. I just got off the phone with the N.C dmv . The car must be road worthy to even warrant an inspection. I have to get the Fla. title as they will not accept anything else. (unless I use a Title company which would probably end up with an Alabama title) It just goe's against my grain to dump 10 grand into a car that I have no paperwork on as of yet.. I just hope they don't give me a hassle about the truck engine ,And ask for proof of purchace on an engine that was put in about 30 yrs ago. Well I am sure they will run the #s on both and they will turn up as Non stolen.. So I quess I have to persue the Resto to the end.. Thanks to You all for your help.. Mark (damn I can believe I said You all.. I am turnin into a REDNECK Ahhhhhhh)
