Corvette VIN codes by generation: C1–C8

Position 10 of a 17-character VIN gives the model year, and the model year tells you the Corvette generation: C1 1953–1962; C2 1963–1967; C3 1968–1982; C4 1984–1996; C5 1997–2004; C6 2005–2013; C7 2014–2019; C8 2020–present. Corvettes built before 1981 (C1–C3) carry shorter serial numbers rather than a 17-character VIN - see the pre-1981 formats below.

Position 11 is the assembly plant: 5 = Bowling Green, Kentucky (June 1, 1981–present); S = St. Louis, Missouri (1981 only in the 17-character VIN).

Position 10 is the model year. The code runs A=1980 … Y=2000, 1=2001 … 9=2009, then repeats A=2010 … Y=2030, 1=2031 … 9=2039; the letters I, O, Q, U and Z and the digit 0 are never used. Because the code repeats every 30 years, position 7 tells the eras apart on passenger cars: a digit in position 7 means 1980–2009, a letter means 2010–2039. 49 CFR 565

Pre-1981 Corvette VIN numbers (C1–C3): serial formats by year

A Corvette built before 1981 has a serial number of 10 to 13 characters, not a 17-character VIN. The format varies by model year; use the table below to match yours.

Years Length Format Example
1953–1954 10 E53F001001 - E = series/engine code (6-cylinder), 53 = model year, F = Flint, Michigan (1953 only; S = St. Louis from 1954), 001001+ = sequence E53F001001
1955 11 VE55S001001 - leading V = V8 engine, then the 1953–54 layout VE55S001001
1956–1959 10 E57S100001 - E = series (1956–57) or J (1958–59), 57 = model year, S = St. Louis, sequence (from 1001 in 1956; from 100001 in 1957–59) E57S100001
1960–1964 12 00867S100001 - 1st = model year (0 = 1960 … 4 = 1964), 08 = Corvette series, 37 = coupe (from 1963) / 67 = convertible, S = St. Louis, 100001+ = sequence 00867S100001
1965–1971 13 194375S100001 - 1 = Chevrolet, 94 = Corvette (the 4 = V8), 37 = coupe / 67 = convertible, 6th = model year (5 = 1965 … 9 = 1969, 0 = 1970, 1 = 1971), S = St. Louis, 100001+ = sequence (1968 from 400001, 1969 from 700001, 1970 from 400001, 1971 from 100001) 194379S700001
1972–1980 13 1Z37K2S500001 - 1 = Chevrolet, Z = Corvette, 37 = coupe / 67 = convertible (to 1975) / 87 = coupe (1978–1980), 5th = engine code (year-specific: 1972 K base, L LT1, W LS5 454; 1980 8 = L48, 6 = L82, H = LG4 305), 6th = model year (2 = 1972 … 9 = 1979, A = 1980), S = St. Louis, sequence (500001+ in 1972, 400001+ 1973–1980; 1978 Pace Car 900001+) 1Z37K2S500001

Where the VIN plate is

  • 1953–early 1960 — Driver-side door hinge pillar / front pillar (plate held by screws)
  • 1960–1962 — Under the hood, spot-welded to the steering-column jacket (from about VIN 1,200 of 1960)
  • 1963–1967 — Instrument-panel support brace under the glove box (spot-welded 1963–64, riveted 1965–67)
  • 1968–1982 — Driver-side windshield pillar (A-pillar), readable through the windshield
  • 1984–present — Top of the dash on the driver's side, readable through the windshield (49 CFR 565.13(f) requires this placement for passenger cars)

The decoder on this page reads 17-character VINs (1981 and newer). For shorter serial numbers use the classic car VIN lookup.

What 590,825 Chevrolet Corvette VINs tell you

Among the 590,825 Corvette VINs in the EpicVIN database, the median last-reported odometer reading is 24,625 miles. For vehicles with two dated readings, mileage works out to about 3,670 miles a year, about a third of the Chevrolet average. 10.7% (about 1 in 9) have been seen at a salvage auction (Copart or IAAI), about half the Chevrolet rate.

What a Chevrolet Corvette history report catches

6.7% of Corvette VINs (about 1 in 15) show a salvage or junk title on an auction lot or listing. Odometer history is also worth checking: 1.6% of VINs have a later reading more than 1,000 miles below an earlier one, a possible rollback, less common than a salvage title. Another 1.4% were sold at auction with a “Not Actual” odometer flag.

Salvage history is uncommon here: 10.7% of these VINs, a lower share than on three in four passenger models we track. When it does appear, the type of damage matters more than the label.

Odometer rollback signs run above the Chevrolet average here (1.6%), so check every dated mileage reading in the report, not just the latest one.

Chevrolet Corvette recalls by model year

On average, 1.47 recall campaigns from NHTSA are on file for a Corvette's model year: campaigns filed against a VIN's model year, averaged over all Corvette VINs we track. That is well below the Chevrolet average and about a third of the average across passenger vehicles in the EpicVIN database. NHTSA lists 44 distinct vehicle campaigns across the 46 model years checked, with the most recorded for model year 2005 (6).

Generation Model years Campaigns on file Years with a campaign Typical components

Only NHTSA vehicle recall campaigns for the model year are counted; aftermarket-equipment recalls that simply list the Corvette as compatible (5 campaigns since 1981) are excluded. Model year 2026: campaigns are still being filed, so the year is not counted in the generation rows.

Corvette build sheet, window sticker and trim level: what the VIN does and does not encode

A build sheet is not encoded in the Corvette VIN. The 17 characters carry the model year, series, body, engine and assembly plant; factory options and packages are recorded by the manufacturer against the VIN, not inside it. The decoder reads what is built into the VIN; option lists come from the window sticker or manufacturer build records.

A window sticker lookup by VIN can pull the original sticker when the manufacturer still provides it, usually for newer model years. Older stickers may no longer be available. Try the EpicVIN window sticker lookup with your VIN.

1LT, 2LT and 3LT are equipment levels, and on the C6 (2010–2013), C7 and C8 the VIN does encode the level in position 5 - on the C8, for example, A = Stingray 1LT; B = Stingray 2LT; C = Stingray 3LT (full tables above). On older model years, position 5 identifies only the series; the exact trim level comes from the window sticker or build records.

Data and sources

Figures on this page come from 590,825 unique Corvette VINs in the EpicVIN database (296,760,071 VINs in total). Data as of August 29, 2026.

Salvage, title, odometer, damage, and theft figures come from auction and listing records: a proxy rather than title-registry data. Recall exposure is matched to model year using NHTSA campaigns and does not mean a specific car still has an open recall.

Percentages are based on all Corvette VINs; one VIN may appear under several damage types or states. VIN codes and the example decode are checked against NHTSA vPIC. Recall campaigns come from the NHTSA recalls API. The model-year rule follows 49 CFR 565.

In the middle of the range for passenger models we track: on average 1.47 NHTSA recall campaigns are on file per Corvette model year. NHTSA lists 44 distinct vehicle campaigns across 46 model years; whether one is still open on a specific car is shown in the decode.

Position 10 of a 17-character VIN gives the model year, and the model year maps to the generation: C1 1953–1962; C2 1963–1967; C3 1968–1982; C4 1984–1996; C5 1997–2004; C6 2005–2013; C7 2014–2019; C8 2020–present.

Position 8 of a Corvette VIN is the engine code: on the C8 (2020–present) 4 = LT2 6.2 L V8; 3 = LT6 5.5 L flat-plane-crank DOHC V8; 7 = LT7 5.5 L twin-turbo DOHC V8; on the C7 (2014–2019) 7 = LT1 6.2 L V8; 6 = LT4 6.2 L supercharged V8; 9 = LT5 6.2 L supercharged V8. You can find the full list for each generation in the tables above.

Collision damage, on 6.2% of all Corvette VINs we track, followed by all-over damage on 0.8%. Shares are based on all VINs, not just auctioned vehicles. One VIN may have more than one damage type.

1G1 - 1 = built in the United States, G = General Motors, 1 = Chevrolet division (1981–present). The first three characters, the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI), identify the manufacturer, vehicle type, and country.

A 13-character Corvette serial number points to a 1965–1971 or 1972–1980 car. This decoder works with 17-character VINs from 1981 onward. Compare the serial with the pre-1981 formats above, then use the classic car VIN lookup.

Enter the 17-character VIN above. The decoder shows the model year, series, body, engine, assembly plant, and open NHTSA recalls. The full report adds title brands, odometer readings, and auction and listing history.

Look on the driver's side of the dashboard by the windshield, on the sticker inside the driver's door jamb, or on the title, registration, and insurance card. Vehicles built before 1981 carry the plate elsewhere - see the pre-1981 list above.

Yes: decoding the model year, series, engine, plant, and open recalls costs nothing and needs no account. A full history report is $24.99 for one VIN.

Option packages are not built into the VIN itself. A window sticker lookup can pull the original sticker by VIN when the manufacturer still provides it, usually for newer model years.

It was built before 1981, when the 17-character format became mandatory. This decoder works only with 17-character VINs. For older serial numbers, use the classic car VIN lookup.

No. The decoder shows what the VIN tells you about the vehicle from the factory. The history report shows what happened later, including title brands, odometer readings, auction sales, damage, and theft records.
