Decipher VIN
I need some help in deciphering the VIN to the 78 I bought a few months back. I have looked at all the ones online, but it doesn't come up. Maybe it's an alien Vette.
Any help is appreciated.

That should not be a problem. Whomever jumped through the hoops to get the car tagged in Wisconsin has already done all the hard work. Over the years I have built a couple hot rods and dune buggies that required obtaining state issued VIN tags and it was never a problem. The guys that issued the state VIN tags are very knowledgeable and easy to work with, at least in my state.

As far as the pillar...I don't know. The switch?
Thanks.

The vin# from the factory would be on the driver's side windshield pillar, about 1/3 of the way up from the cowl. Is there anything there?

Sorry, I had a case of dummy going on. The tag on the pillar only has the trim paint code and thew label on the door has a new label that states the vehicle has been altered and meets all safety requirements, but no other VIN.
Thanks.
Thanks.
