Not a lot of car-specific info in VINs before '72:
1=Chevrolet; 9=Corvette; 4=V8 engine; 67=convertible; 9=model year ('69); S=St. Louis assembly plant (all Corvettes from ~'55 to ~'80 were made in St. Louis); 7=meaningless placeholder; 35417= the sequential number your Corvette was in the '69 model year (yours is nearing the end of production)

Agreed. We get questions like this often on this forum.
You own a Corvette. In this case a convertible.
That's all.
