'69s used 194379S700001 through 194379S738762. For a vert, the fourth digit is a 6.

So yes, it seems legit...

Bill, when I google 69 corvette vin numbers, I get this info from several sources:

Convertible Serial numbers ranged from 194689S100001 to 194679S138762

Im confused.

There are several web sites that give inaccurate info on the 69 - 71 vins.

The NCRS 1968-1982 Corvette Spec Guide shows 194679S700001 ..... 194679S738762 for model year 1969.

For 1968 thru 1971 VIN

1: Chevrolet
9: Corvette model
4: V-8
67 or 37: Convertible or Coupe respectively
9: 1969 (1968-71 sixth digit indicates the last digit of the model year)
S: St. Louis assembly
700001 ... 738762: six digit build sequence number (1968: 400001 ... , 1969: 700001 ... , 1970: 400001 ... , 1971: 100001 ... )

They seem to have copied each others bad info.

The 7 is correct for a '69.

The 7 is the car line series code. All '69s had the seven. It is not part of the consecutive unit number per se. If someone was given only 7XXXXX as a partial serial number, the 7 would indicate Corvette while the consecutive unit number would tell you which one.

This character was a four for the '68s and it changed from year to year.
