It should be on the driver side A-pillar, The last several numbers of the VIN should also be on the engine block pad if the original engine is in the car.

yea i got the title but the VIN on it is incorrect. the VIN on the title is 1Z87xxxxxxxxx instead of 1Z37xxxxxxxxx for a coupe. the convertible is 1Z67xxxxxxxxx

i cant get the title corrected without the clerk seeing the vin# on the car.

87 is correct for the body style code on a 1980 Corvette. It changed with the 78 models. VIN tag is on the driver's winshield post and visible from outside the car. VIN is also on a tag on the driver's door visible when you open the door.

Code 67 for convertibles was discontinued after the '75 model year.
