It is stamped on the top surface of the frame next to the outside edge, and displays parallel to the outer edge.

Top of the frame rail, driver's side, just in front of the #4 body mount. You might be able to see this stamp if you can clean the area.
Second stamp is here:
You cannot see this stamp with the body on the frame.
Good luck.

Here is mine and the location. I think you can use a mirror to find it. It will be a condensed version of the VIN.
1S115707 is mine on my 1971.
Good luck with it.

The stamp is a VIN derivitive; it is not a complete VIN. It probably reads 16S4xxxxx.
1 for Corvette
6 for 1976
S for St. Louis
4xxxxx is your consecutive unit number.
Same VIN derivitive will be stamped on the original engine pad. Your complete VIN is on the driver's windshield post. A complete VIN (13 characters) was not stamped on the frame.

it is too bad your transportation authorities require that, there are so many that have an unreadable number due to rust or previous sandblasting.. you are lucky to even find it on a car that old..
