Vette(s): 1968 L-71 Coupe

Could someone offer their advice on the following block stamping numbers?

19J189485 - ?

V1211VFB - I know what the V1211 stands for but not the VFB.

The block casting number, 3932386, indicates a 69 350 between 300-350 hp with a four bolt main.

Last question the VIN is 194679S720796 can someone tell me what I have?

Thanks

As far as the vin it is a:
1969 Corvette convertible built in St. Louis. It was the 20796th Vette produced that year. The "7" is only a "filler" number. The last Vette built that year was sequence #38762.

The "VFB" is the engine "suffix" code. It is not a 'Vette engine.
The "19J189485" is the vin derivative from whatever vehicle it came from, tho it is a '69.
