1960 CHEVROLET CORVETTE
VIN DECODER
UNDERSTANDING AND DECODING THE VIN:

The VIN plate could be located on the drivers side door post area into early 1960 just like all the previous years. For the remainder of 1960 as well as '61 and '62, it was on the steering column in the engine compartment.  In 1963 the VIN moved again, this time to the instrument support brace below the glove box.  It stayed there through 1967.

In 1968 the VIN moved to the top of the instrument panel where it was visible through the windshield from the outside.  From this point forward, it stayed there and/or on the windshield support bracket also known as the A-pillar. 

How to Decode a VIN Plate:

First Character: Model Year

  0 - 1960
  1 - 1961
  2 - 1962
  3 - 1963
  4 - 1964

Second & Third Characters: Model Year

  08 - Chevrolet Corvette identifier

Fourth & Fifth Characters: Body Style

  37 - Coupe
  67 - Convertible

Sixth Character: Assembly Plant

  S - St. Louis

Seventh through Twelfth Characters: Production Sequence Number

In 1960, the VIN sequence used for the vehicles produced was 00867S100001 thru 00867S110261.
 
EXAMPLE - To the left is an example of how a 1960 Corvette VIN might read.  A VIN of 00867S107981 would indicate the following:

A 1960 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible model that was built at the St Louis Assembly Plant with Sequence Number 107981
00867S107981
