Are you referring to this door tag on a '72?

Did you have to jump through hoops to order it ? I had to send proof of ownership, photo's etc before they would process mine which just arrived today.

Expensive for what they are though!

Nice sticker, but shouldn't it be 4-71, not 3-71?
My '71 is 115026, built on 4-19-71, yours is 115230, built on 4-21-71.

The only evidence I had was an old pic of that area and sticker before the car was turned into a banana when no doubt the decal was removed and tossed. It's not great but 4 sets of eyes all agreed it was 4-71

Damn, I just realised you're correct and new the sticker is wrong

Edit: That original pic was emailed to Zip so hopefully they will do me a new one.

Thanks 454 for pointing that out

Edit 2:

Looks like I'm in the clear looking at the order conformation



I would have probably stuck it on tonight if it weren't for this thread

I wasn't trying to **** on your parade, but I only noticed the date since your '71 vin# is close to mine.
Also, did you know about the other numbers that were on the original tag? Engine code and transmission code?
Not sure if reproductions are available with these numbers...just curious.
Good luck on your new tag.

Wow that's interesting I never saw the engine code and tranny code were posted on the door sticker. My 11/71 1972 model yr has no other code listed. Do we know what year that was done? Thanks Ike

Not sure which years, this is something that I learned from Alan. The numbers are also on my protecto plate.

Those repo stickers are too perfect especially when compared to an original sticker.

Never saw it that way 454. I was aware of the other info as my red one has the original sticker and the Protecto Plate. The yellow one had neither and research only found the one produced or at least retailed by Zip. Who have not replied to my email as yet for a replacement..

I got a blank sticker and used an old IBM Selectrict to add in my numbers.

Just thought I should add that Zip have stepped up and a new and correct decal is on the way at their expense

Hello,

I just bought a 72 Corvette (511076) and I am in the process of getting it painted and your reply caught my attention; I've seen a chart that tells me the month my car was built (Dec 1971) but where can I find information as to the exact date? I think that's really cool - thanks in advance!
