VIN number is on the driver's side windshield pillar. You can see it through the windshield glass. The trim tag is on the driver's forward door jamb between the hinges. I think midyear locations (for the trim tag at least) are under the glove box?

All other VIN number locations are the same as far as I know.

If you need help with the color and interior codes let us know.

Good luck on your hunt!!

main thing trying to make sure of is if numbers matching/and correct engine---------it is definitely supposed to be 427---obviouly if it is number matching and can get for 7k ---it might be the find of the year or maybe decade huh?

No matter if it is " numbers matching " or not---if its a true 427 1969 Corvette in running order, it's certainly worth $10k Of course we here have haggled the true meaning of numbers matching--so basicly if you have the correct 427 its well worth the $
