Default 84 corvette

my corvettes vin number plate on the dash is so rusty you cant read it, is there another vin number on the car, you cant even get to the plate unless you take of the windshield... it looks like condensation killed it .

Why? As long as the title is correct I don't see an issue. Who's asking to see the VIN plate?

There shouldn't be any issues unless someone questions the legitimacy of the title to the car. And unless they have a reason to do that, I don't see it even coming up. My VIN plate is rusted pretty badly too, but it's still semi legible if someone really wants to read it.

As long you're 100% certain that the car you're selling matches the title you're giving, you should be fine.

I believe the vin is stamped on the inside of the frame rail down below the battery area.

Vin no info. besides in windshield area.

If sitting in your Corvette open the drivers side door and look behind your left elbow, and it is in the form of a sticker with a barcode.

Besides giving you information about your Corvettes place of birth and it is also used as a theft deterrent and as a means to check-out a used cars history.

the other two places the vin is located on the 84 Corvette are on the inner rear of the drivers door and behind drivers seat on the rpo sticker in the storage bin area:
