1968 Vette Convertable-Engine Vin# Location ??

[Panda]

Good morning all~ I'm getting ready to sell my 1968 Corvette Convertable (Vin # 194678S424897) & have found the body Vin # by the side wipers but don't know where the engine Vin is?? I'm sure this will make a difference if these match?? What exactly does this mean & what do I need to look for? THanks for any info. of related help! Deanne

The engine VIN derivative and engine assembly code are located on a flat, narrow pad directly in front of the passenger side cylinder head on the block. Having the original engine in a car is important to some buyers. It can't hurt.

Hi Panda

Welcome to the CAC.

I'm going to move this post down to the C3 General Discussion where it will get better exposure.

...don't know where the engine Vin is??...

Pad on the block at the front of the right side head. 74 shown; 68 will be similar. If you need to clean the pad in order to see the stamps, do not use abrasives.

AIR pump can sometimes be in the way, but the pad is there. You may need a flashlight.
