C2 Corvette VIN Location

The VIN on a Corvette has always been stamped on a plate, although the location of that plate has varied over the years. In 1963 and 1964 the VIN was spot welded to body hinge brace under the glove box. 1965 to 1967 were similar to the 1963 to 1964 models that were spot welded to the body hinge brace under the glove box with the major difference being that the 1965 – 19767s were riveted instead in the same location.
