Default Does this look like a normal vin?

Quick question for you c7 Zo6 owners, long story short, I'm about to purchase a 2016 Zo6 and saw this picture of the vin and thought it looked a little sketchy. What do u guys think? Is this how all the vin numbers on the dashboard looks or is there something fishy going on? Carfax says everything checks out with no history of theft and the mileage matches.... I'll provide a link to the car too. Appreciate your guys time and any help, thanks.

Chevrolet VIN's have looked that way since the 90's.

Yes, I'm picking it up in a few days. I was just browsing through the pictures again and just thought the vin looked a little funky and just wanted to see if that was normal. Apparently Chevy has been doing that since the 90's. This is my first Vette so I'll be looking forward to learning more about the platform on here. Thank you to everyone for chiming in.

Thank you! I was almost starting to wonder if I over paid but I figured with all the mods, it was a good deal; even for a 1lz with higher mileage.
