I have to assume they are listed in the Assembly Instruction Manual (AIM). If you don't have one and plan ot work on your car much, I very much encourage you to order one. You can order them from most of the big Vette parts vendors. I have one, but the specs would be very different for my '81, so I can't be much help.

Not real sure, but I think it's around 28 inches to top of fender well.....but I could be wrong
Depending on the original engine/transmission/suspension combination, here is what my AIM states.

Measure back from the center of the front wheel "30.5
and the height( " From the underside of the sill molding (appearance line) to ground" ) should be "8.01-8.21 depending on HP rating of engine.
Measure forward from the center of the rear wheel "24.0
and the height( " From the underside of the sill molding (appearance line) to ground" ) should be "7.86-"7.99 depending on HP rating of engine.
427
Measure back from the center of the front wheel "30.5
and the height( " From the underside of the sill molding (appearance line) to ground" ) should be "7.83-7.99 depending on HP rating of engine.
Measure forward from the center of the rear wheel "24.0
and the height( " From the underside of the sill molding (appearance line) to ground" ) should be "7.73-7.85 depending on HP rating of engine.
I hope this makes sense. There are other factors onvolved here, but there is no difference in my book between a coupe or vert.
