Sorry I can't answer your questions Joe, but you sound like you are going to fit right in here.

1Z = Chev. Corvette
87 = Coupe
8 = L48 engine
9 = year model ('79)
S = St. Louis assy
410645 = sequence(VIN)#. Built in early Nov. 1978
Look again... the"D" is probably a "0". Some of the fonts made a "square" 0.
As far as the dash panel for the speedo/tach, I think most aftermarket vendors have them. Check with some of the sponsoring vendors here.

I've had really good dealings with Zip Products, on some really nice used, original parts for my '74.

It's a, "D" magnify-n' glassed it just to be sure my 40 yr. old eyes were not trippin'.
I'll check out (Bair's, Mid America, etc.) & Paragon Vintage to see if they carry the part. HOPEFULLY!
Thaks again!!

This is kinda off the subject of the vin issue but, I noticed your located in Duncanville,Texas. That's ironic because I am originally from Houston, Texas. I moved to Indiana on a transfer with Sony/Digital Audio Disc Corp. in 1985.(been here ever since with the same job and Company.)
Now that I have aquired the Vette I sure miss all the decent weather ALL the time except for, the occasional frog strangler rain storms!
the people, and last but not least, THE FOOD!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE GO TO PAGE 2 FOR UPDATES, AND THE REASON FOR THE, "D" IN THE VIN NUMBER!!
