HOW CAN YOU PROVE A CORVETTE IS A REAL L-82?

Prior to 1981, VIN numbers were made up by the manufacturer. After '81 (possibly '79, I'm not sure which) the Fed stepped in an mandated a 17 number/letter VIN numer (also, they outlawed the use of 1, 0 (zero), and Q.
I found this out by trying to get a Carfax for my '74 Vette. Kept saying "VIN number not valid" (was a 13 digit number). Scared heck out of me. Thought I'd bought a car with a bad number. Googled "13 character VIN number" and found the above.
Have a great day, B
