1984 corvette convertable ?
I own a 1984 corvette convertable, has a (E) for exspearmental do I have a one of a kind. I was told corvette did not make a convertble in 1984 is this true ? if so how many. I have the registration and everything. Somebodys got to know something.
If it has a E int the 10th position in the VIN that just indicates a 1984 model. There were no factory convertible made until 1986 so someone has probably added there one from a later car. A factory convertible would have the code 67 in the 6th and 7th positions of the VIN. Yours probably has the coupe code 07 in this position.
The tital and registration shows it to be a convertble . It has different lover on hood and sides and the car is white with gold 24kt trim. The car has never been painted or been repaired in any way. It needs a little tlc it was just sitting in a garage for years. Let me ask. If tm says its a exsperamental car and convertable and its the only one what do you thinks its worth?
The Vin is.# 1g1ay0783e5102744 the guy I got it from called gm and that's what they said it was a exsperamental car. And its the only one. The car has no paint work and has not been cut or modified in any way. If you want to text me on my phone and I will text you back photos of the car. My # 479-857-5070.
your vin shows: 1 = country of origin US G = manufacturer GM 1 = make and type: Chevrolet passenger A = restraint system: non-passive/ manual belt Y = carline/series corvette 07 = body type: 07 (**corvette coupe hatchback**) 8 = engine: L83 engine 3 = check digit E = model year: 1984 5 = assembly plant: bowling green, kentucky last 6 = production number starting at 100001 and up: 2743th one made
Hatch back ! Well the guy said that I could buy a hard top or go with the reg vinal or have both. I really don't know much about vetts. So hatch back mean like removable top or what. I do have the photos in my phone I m sure I can text them to you . I might could email them . Next thing is just what if it is a convertble that they classed as a hatch back? What could exsplain this? The man said it was a exspermental car that gm made. They might have what's the chances and what you think?
Hatches mean it has a hinged rear window that allows access to the back. It sounds like it is just a normal model with a targa roof. Meaning that there is a removable section of roof as opposed to a folding convertible top. That or the roof was removed and a 1986 or later removable top was added. He probably is just made that to make you think it was factory. Thin VIN doesn't lie and if it were a unique vehicle it would have paperwork or a special vin code. When GM sells special vehicle they are sold either with special vin that cannot be registered or with salvage title to avoid liability.
The man did tell me he almost did not get to register it because the Vin said it did not exsist. I will call him in a day or two and ask him a lot of questions and I will let you know and thanks for your help. If you know someone who can run the Vin to see if it tell them it was a test model. I will get back in a day or two.
It is a normal vin, I checked. You can go and see for yourself with a Carfax report. It lists as a normal 1984 corvette coupe: http://www.carfax.com/cfm/check_order.cfm?VIN=1G1AY0783E5102744&PopUpStatus=0
