VIN Info - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Jamesbea · 02-21-2013

Is there a database out there that will tell you any info on your car from its VIN (other than car fax etc)?

Thanks

Was looking for something a little more car specific on information. I thought it may have been a stretch. Appreciate the link.

All ZR-1 pretty much had the same options. There are very few that had manual passenger seat, Manual Climate Control. You would have to give me the VIN to see if the car came with a glass top.

first i've heard that

There were really only two options, electronic climate control and dual roofs. The electronic climate control was drop as an option in 1991 and became a standard. Very few '90 ZR-1's were delivered with manual climate control. Rumors were around 14 ZR-1's had manual AC.

Something unusual happened in the 1992 model year. An option that was standard in the RPO ZR1 package was dropped 1/2 way though the 1992 year. The power passenger seat AC1 which had always been packaged into the ZR1 option was pulled and had to be ordered separately.

In 1993 GM once again included AC1 as part of the RPO ZR1 option.

Not an option but early '90 ZR-1's had steel 1/2 shafts in the rear vs aluminum on all others.

My car is a 90 and the vin ends with 969. My car does have manual climate control. Not sure if there is more to learn or not. Just thought it would be fun to have background info on the car.

Thanks again for all the info so far.

Don't forget you can get copies of the build sheets (tank stickers) and Monroney window stickers for our cars from the Corvette Museum. There are lots of sources to decode option designations (like Corvette Black Book and ZR1 Net Registry)--Bob
