Hi,

I need to reproduce the Certification Label on a 1973 C3. I see that the label is not really an issue to find, but how can I get the data for it (apart from the VIN, of course).

1973 CHEVROLET CORVETTE C3
VIN# 1Z67J3S421681

Thanks!

You 'need' to replace it, or just 'want' to? If it's for judging, the repro labels are not quite right and will get a deduct in any case. Having the correct numbers won't help.

Unless you can find a car with the identical options as yours which still has the original label in place, it's anybody's guess what would be correct.

I exported the car to Switzerland and they (the DMV) are insisting it be on the car. I'm not sure if they compare the data to records (doubtful), but I would like not to mess it up...

So label accuracy is not for concourse presentation, but for the legal issue required (for some unknown reason) in Switzerland.

If someone has some kind of database, it would be great. Or even someone can translate what the data spec are? Even if someone has a picture of the label from a similar car and if there's a way to find the actual build date?

1973 CHEVROLET CORVETTE C3
VIN# 1Z67J3S421681

Convertible, Auto Trans, 350 CI motor, A/C.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was afraid that your answer might be that some bureaucratic agency might 'need' it. There is no publicly available database that I am aware of and I imagine that your authorities wouldn't have one either.

The data in the upper right corner is the month and year the car was built in.

GVWR = gross vehicle weight rating

GAWR = gross axle weight rating

frt= front axle

rear= rear axle

The following numbers are in pounds, (not kilos).

The car's build date (for registration purposes) can be found on the trim tag on the driver's side pillar post. It will be shown in the upper right corner of the tag as a single alpha charter followed by two digits. Your tag probably reads I27 which is April 27th 1973.

Do a search here in the C3 section, there has been a lot of threads on this issue with some examples. Here are a couple of examples, I think they were BB, but not sure what other options.

only problem is ,when you try to remove that blue tag,it will come-apart,unless somebody has any tricks?

No tag on the car... That's the problem

Looks like I have a build date of 4/27/1973

Will try and compare VINs.

The Blue one is close on the manufacture range, but does someone have an example with the following RPO?:

1YZ67 Base Corvette Convertible (190hp)
C60 Air Conditioning
J50 Power Brakes
M40 Turbo Hydra-Matic Automatic Transmission
N37 Tilt-Telescopic Steering Column
N40 Power Steering

Thanks for the detailed information! I will keep searching an hopefully someone recognizes the spec.

You can change the year on the URL and get quite a few years.

A wealth of data!
