VIN Discrepency...help!!
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on a bit of confusion I'm having as I decided to look into the history of the 1972 Corvette Convertible I bought a few years ago. It was a last min, quick buy....so I didnt really do a lot of research. I bought it out of a private collection from a reputable local collector. I'm pretty mechanical and have had a handful of muscle & project cars over the years, so I felt comfortable when I looked over the Numbers Matching vette I'm referring to. However, I recently discovered the VIN is a 1Z37, which says its a "coupe", when it is indeed a two top convertible. Even the local classic vette dealer inspected it and confirmed it was a #'s matching car in (mostly) original condition. Is it possible Chevrolet made a mistake?? When talking to several local mechanics, I was told the cost to turn a coupe into a conv that looks like it IS a factory conv would far exceed what it would cost to just buy one? HELP!!?!? Any ideas? Any thoughts?? Please???
