Any idea why my 1969 Stingray VIN number has a 'G' where the 'S' (St. Louis) letter should be ?

Do you mean the metal tag in the windshield? Got a pic?

Not your fault, but the is decoder is '69s were built only in St. Louis.

->OP, you may have a bogus tag, please post a picture.

I recently saw a '69 L-71 convertible at the Live Stock Exhibit center car corral at the Hot August Nites car event this year that had a debossed VIN metal tag in the winshield pillar post location. There definitely was something a miss with that set-up. I pointed out the obvious descrepancy to the owner/seller. He had no clue as to what I was referring to.

VINs for '69s ran from 700001 thru 738762

Here it is. Its pretty evident that it has been on the car since 1969. I left the last 2 digits out of the picture on purpose. Interesting that it starts with 1 and not 7. And yes, the windshield frame is pretty bad. I was just about to replace it.

That picture is very out of focus. I don't see the '19' at the beginning of the VIN, on top of the other two problems mentioned.

OK, here is one a little better. Maybe if I was a little younger, I could hold the flippin camera still !

That can't be correct.

According to that tag 45000+ Corvettes were built in 69.
Tag from another GM car line?

Since the 'G' means it was made in Farmingham, MA, maybe it was a prototype ?

Tell us about the car !!

that is not a 69 VIN...you have an issue...........what abut on the block / trans???

If you the car is already torn apart, then you can confirm the VIN by checking it on the frame.

it looks like the left side of the vin tag is completly gone, rusted away . there is a rivet there though .

Hi H UP,
From the look of that windshield post there might not be enough of the frame left to read the stamping!

a 19437 is a corvette coupe, the 9 means 69, the G means farmington mass, where they made chevelles, the 1 after that is just a place holder I think, the next digits as stated in a previous post, is the sequence #. it is the 45,1XXth car to be built..... not that many vettes built... this looks like an invalid VIN... I am now curious how this pans out!
