I just purchased a 86 corvette the owner said it was a Malcolm Konner edition and only 50 were made after looking at pics of a Malcolm Konner vette it looks right .. is there a way to make sure it a konner car .. will the vin # tell me or a ID tag on the car.. I would like to know if its a Malcolm Konner edition.. thanks for your time

Malcolm Konner editions are silver beige over black. Got any pics?

Look on the options tag under the storage bin door in the left rear. If the label shows the code "4001ZA". then you have a Malcolm Konner Corvette. This was the option code.

I look into the storage compartment there was a ID tag but it didn't say option package it had I think was the vin numbers and a bunch of 3 digit numbers and letters... no option code 4001za or a 3 digit 1za so I guess the owner thought it was if you can think of any where else to look I'd appreciate it ... Thanks for your time

No 4001ZA, no Konner.

I found out from NCM and Corvette magazine .. there is nothing on the car to show its a Malcolm Konner car... the # you gave me the option code was right 4001ZA but it nowhere on the car the only way to find out is if I have a the cars build sheet. but I thank you for your time

DinoBob

I was wrong on this and stand corrected. I am glad; I hope your car is a Konner. Good luck! And post back when you know.

What were you wrong on? Jay

DinoBob

The code on the storage lid. I always thought 4001za was there but if NCM says no I have to believe them.

You are right I just went out and looked at mine but it does show spec as the paint code which is correct for the mk

I took this pic at the NCM several years ago:

So are these cars worth more than a standard 86 now?

Probably is worth more to the right collector. On average I would say its worth about $3.50 more than a standard 86.

Hey, Jorge. Did you change the wheels on your car to the black centers,(84-85 style) or was that part of the package?
I thought 86 wheels were like the one's from corvetteronw's museum pics. (Beautiful car, by the way)
