vin decoder
My friend took delivery of his new torch roadster on 12-31-13. I told him I can search his vin, 1G1YF3D79E5107867, and gt some build info for him. Like production number etc. How do I go about doing that for him?

But I got the impression he was after info the Decoder won't give him so I instead suggested contacting the NCM

You may be right. Perhaps he wants to know his car is number 7,867.

Correct, won't be able to get that detail till next year. Then you can get it here in the Corvette Black Book. This is the latest with the current model C7 but of course no #'s as the model year is far from over.
Nope, they don't release those kind of details. After the end of the Model Year, they will release detailed numbers of total coupes, verts, which colors, options, etc. but there is no way to tell how many were built with any particular combination of options, colors, etc.
