VIN is 194678S415581.

1=Chevrolet Division
94= Stingray
67= Corvette Convertible
8=1968
S= St Louis Assy plant
415581 = 15,581st vette made at St Louis

Trim 414= medium blue vinyl interior
Chev 108= not sure??
paint 978= Dark Blue exterior

There is No way to tell if it was a Big Block or small block by the trim or vin tag. If it is a Canadian SOLD car, GM of Canada will have it in their Vintage Vehicles Archives, and can tell you what engine option the car came with.
Whats the Tach redline? 6500 is a 427/435HP. Also if you can get the diff stamp numbers, and if the diff is original then the NCRS corvette guide has the diff codes for Big Block cars.
Hope this Helps.

That is great information. Thanks for all the help..

The "108" is actually "I08", which is the body build date of April 8, 1968; can't tell anything from the VIN and trim tag besides build date, color, and trim. Engines weren't coded into Corvette VINs until 1972.
