My C3 Corvette is much earlier than yours (1969), and I’ve just seen the a-pillar VIN. This old CF thread might be helpful to you:

Good luck!

78 with the gas tank removed. Power antenna gives you reference where it is.

This is of my 69. There are two locations for the stampings, one on the left main rail, about a foot forward of the #3 mount and another on the aft frame section, near the #4. Note that these are partial VIN numbers.


On left main frame rail, forward of #3 body mount
