Default VIN please!

Greetings, all.
I am new to the Corvette world, am picking up a torch red '99 coupe on Monday. Was wondering if someone could run a VIN for me? Thanks.

1G1YY22G8X5119549

Will this give me the 'born on' date? I live 45 mins from Bowling Green and will be taking her to visit her birthplace in the near future.

Looks like this forum will be a life saver, lots of info...


PS I have two children, where do I put them when driving? Strapped to the top or maybe throw one in the back?

Drop a PM to Sponge Bob and he can help you out with the info. ALso here's a current post about getting a free Carfax: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...1&forum_id=103


Two kids huh.....if the C5 will be your only transportation, you might want to reconsider, otherwise yes - you can strap one on top, but that means you can't get a Vert.
