Default Help with a VIN

A 69 Vette vert for sale with the following VIN number has caught my attention. Owner has no clue about big block, etc and gave me the VIN as only real information. Can I get someone to decipher it for me.

194679S720211

Thanks in advance,
JimBRO

Default Re: Help with a VIN (JimBR0)

On pre 72 cars the VIN does not give any engine info, only year made, body style and build sequence.

194679S720211

1= Chevy
94= Corvette
67 = Conv (37 would be coupe)
9 = year
S = plant (St Louis)
7= Check digit or place holder, does not change
20,211 = build sequence
