I'm not sure if your Canadian car is coded any differently or something, but according to my Chevrolet 1977 Corvette Specifications booklet (FREE from Chevrolet by calling 800-222-1020), a '77 VIN should read as follows:

1 -- Chevrolet
Z -- Corvette
37 -- Body Style
L or X -- for L48 or L82 respectively
7 -- Model Year
S -- Assembly Plant (in this case St. Louis)
4xxxxx -- Sequence number, where xxxxx is the production number

So your car should be number 6205 built. Do you have flags on the front fenders? You should have the alarm switch on the driver's front fender.

Could the 8 after the S be a 3?
That 9 before the S is puzzling (a '79?).

Hope this helps some.
