All the help I can get

[ERAS3r]

Hi all

I am just starting to restore a 1971 Corvette 454 LS6 that I found in pretty bad shape in my mechanic's shop.

My intention is to restore the corvette to its original condition. It is a beautiful (will be) convertible of 40 that were built in 1971. The problem is that I am new and have no idea how to determine if the car is in its original configuration or some things have been replaced over the years. For example: engine and Tx.

The vin on this car is: 194671S118001

I need help knowing where in the web to find information about all the stamped numbers that can be found in different components.

Can someone give me some pointers?

Thanks
