Vin #
after buying my 62 and trying to change ownership to my name i found the vin had a wrong number
the 6th digit should have read S and on the ownership it read 5 probably a mistake by the dmv years ago because the car had been in one family for 35 years
from research i find the s stands for St Louis and is common to about 4 years of corvettes
to have it changed to the correct digit i had a lot of running around to do,, letters from couple people that the dmv said they would accept
when i bought the car i checked the vin and didnt notice the that it was a 5 and should have been s
long story short,,, make sure you wear your glasses when checking vin #'s
it will save you time and $$$

A common error as I have found out. I also have an incorrect Vin number registered, the S mistaken for a 5. Its been that way since I bought it in 1970. I brought this to the attention of ICBC while trying to trace previous owners and was told it would take a few hoops to go through and I'd be better off leaving it be.

Same here!
My 1968 same thing- registered with a 5 instead of an S. In California we know better than to walk into one of their offices hoping to find a smart counter person. Thus I have chosen to leave it be. It is an honest and easy typo error and I don't feel it hurts the car at all!!!!!
