This goes back to about 1969 or so. Not mine, belonged to a woman in the Corvette CLub back then.
He got that number from somewhere

Regardless, that VIN doesn't belong to that car.

Not so fast. Those are coupe VINs. A convertible would have a "6" in place of the "3"s in your examples.

Check the kick up horizontal area on drivers side frame for a Vin.

My first look at this car, I thought the rear fenders were flared/ducktailed but its only a mud flap. Nice looking car if all checks out with year for 50k or under. Looks like it started as a SB car.

Yes lordy. Don't fall into the trap that your modified car is one of those one-of-one factory mix-ups, or, that it was owned by some GM exec that ordered it with a potpourri of different year parts. EVERYthing that could be done to these cars WAS done to these cars over 50+ years.

No, not at all.
My comment was in response to a post which was deleted by its author, asking how the previous owner could have the car 40 years and not have the VIN right. I wondered why I could not get the quote to work, apparently he was deleting as I was trying to quote it.
My point was just because someone owns a Vette - even for a long time - does not necessarily mean they know much about it.

Unfortunately, a can of worms has been opened. Another case of an uninformed buyer asking questions AFTER the purchase.

, but then some times I envy the 'not-knowers' as they can just enjoy owning/driving and not be caught up in the often **** other 'stuff'
