Re: Post a pic of what your're calling VIN Plate

VIN plates don't have upper right hand corners with codes on them so it would be helpful to see same thing you're looking at.

In 1977 the body trim plate code ZJ1 which is located in the upper left corner just above the interior code stands for (CUSTOM INTERIOR TWO-TONE). This option was never listed in any sales brochures or dealer handouts. It took an override to order a new corvette with this option. I have only heard of maybe 4 to 5 1977's with this code. I have a 77 L-82 4 speed with this override option. If you have any questions about 77's feel free to reach me at blbeck77@aol.com
