Default VIN #s

Hi,

Ineed to know the first numbers in the VIN string for an 89 Corvette. I am working on a 56 Chevy that has an 89 engine in it and we need the numbers to enter in the scanner. Thanks, Frank

For 1989 Corvettes:

1G1YY2186K5100001 through,
1G1YY2186K5126328.

For convertibles the 6th digit is a 3.
For all 89's, the 9th digit is a "check-digit" and varies.

I hope this helps
Mark
