Doesn't that VIN tag have an extra weld?

Lots of Corvette tags are pretty well preserved, being in the passenger compartment instead of the engine compartment.

But,,, it does look awful fresh.

I was going to say what Lynn said...these C2 Corvette tags always look minty to me too, but I'm clearly no expert on these cars.

Default Tires

I love Goldline tires on any color Corvette, but I’m not sure they were offered in ‘64.

I recollect the 65-66 Vettes it was an option.

Another item I always thought was cool on the mid-year coupes with AC was the “single” bow tie decal on the RH rear glass.
This C2 has it on both sides.

----Tony,,,In my experience there is always deterioration and sometimes corrosion that is apparent. Add to that, people seem to manage to get thier toes up in there. As well, when you remove the glove box assembly it's easy to snag the top of the tag and bend it either coming out or going back in. I have never seen an original tag that hasn't had some tells!....Bill S

And HOW does sand paper scratches get UNDER the vin tag ??? Is that a factory anomaly ??


The A/C compressor almost looks like an add on. The high pressure hose has worm gear clamps on it. Every other A/C system I've worked on has crimped ends, to hold the pressure on the high side.

Well known factory practice for 63/64 as the VIN tag was welded to the bird cage, not riveted.

I understand that. There are grinder/sanding marks starting at the top of the metal bar and continuing to the bottom UNDER the tag. It, clearly, wasn't on there when that was done. Was the process to clean the bar for the spot welder to work really that crude at the factory ? I don't recall it being this obvious on other pics of vette vin tags...

----Mitch,,,Since the serial tag was put in before the trim tag and the grind marks were done by a (fallible) human, it's a fairly normal thing to happen! The double weld on the end we can see is a bit troubling.....Bill S
