Default VIN question

I got this PM on another board I'm on. Can anyone help?



i'm looking at buying a 2000 corvette i found...its a black 6 speed...stock...appears to be in pretty mint condition

thing is...the seller seems shady...and i have a feeling a vin swap might've been done on the car so i just want to make sure he's not screwing me over because he's letting it go fairly cheap

do you know where the "other" vin numbers are located and how i can match them to the original vin number?


thanks in advance

the VIN is also located on the front frame rails, lift the hood and check the frame rails between the air cleaner and the front crossmember.

Check the pass side frame rail just behind the radiator.

Default VIN Locations

According to the 2000 GM Service Manual, the Vehicle Cerification label and the Tire Placard are both located on the edge of the drivers door. Both should have the VIN on them. On the VC label, it should be in the block on the bottom left. On the Tire Placard about half way down the sticker on the left. There is also a Service Parts label on the inside of the glove box door that lists the RPO codes of the vehicle. The VIN is also found there in the top left hand block. At the very least, these locations should all reflect the same number.
