Gilbert,
I agree with you. The knowledge that some people on C3VR have is almost scary to me. C3VR truly is blessed to have so many people that have such a vast amount of knowledge AND are willing to share it. Now, if we could only get Dr. Joel to make house calls!!!! But if he did make house calls, and came to my house, he would just weep 
and wonder how I survived this long.
and wonder how I survived this long.Warning: The surgeon general has declared that it is NOT unhealthy to smoke your competition AND I just discovered that my corvette is a hybred. It burns gas and rubber!

I did not want to post the VIN at the time because I had not yet agreed to buy the car.
The VIN is 194379S715656 so build date 11-Feb-1969 as suggested by Joel.
The trim tag is confirmed to be G07 by visual check by a friend and better photo attached.
Not going to pickup the car until the snow is gone as it is a long haul to bring it home from Calgary. I bought it from a colleague at work who has owned since 1981.

According to the "Corvette Black Book"....A strike interrupted 1969 production. When it was settled production was allowed to run four months longer than other GM vehicles. Because it was off cycle, some production records are not available.
