As novass66 sez, it's the model of the car, or the body style.
These GM body style numbers go all the way back to the days of Fisher Body. The 07 in the left hand corner says you have a hatch back coupe. In the sixties and seventies, the VIN of every Corvette began with 19437 or 19467; 37 was the predecessor number for a coupe without the hatch back.
Corvette convertibles have 67 in that block; Z06s have still another number that escapes me...I believe it's 01.

Now I'm confused. 
How did the VIN get in this conversation? I don't think you have a VIN with 1YY07 in it. At any rate, the car model no. does NOT appear in the VIN, AFAIK. A single character appears in the 6th position to indicate the body style ("1" = FRC, "2" = Coupe, "3" = Convertible), but that's all. The model year is in the 10th character position, with a 5 for an 05.

The original build is attached to the car as it moves down the assembly line. Once the car is completed, I believe the build sheet is removed; thus most owners never see theirs. You can buy a copy of the build sheet through the National Corvette Museum; I bought one for my 2005 and it's actually kind of cool.
