Default What does this VIN tell you?

Let me start off by saying this VIN has no connection to the thread I posted about VIN's,

This VIN is posted with a car I might have interest in,

1Z67T3S417968

It said click for free carfax but then carfax only does cars 82 and newer so knowing some of you savvy fellows do magic with a VIN what does this one tell us?

Many thanks!

1 = Chevy
Z = corvette
67 = 2 door convertible
T = L82
3 = 1973
S = St. Louis
4 = Corvette, or Chevelle, or Monte Carlo
17968 = sequence #

so it is a 73 convertible corvette with a L82


close?
