I was fortunate enough to get my build sheet at the end of the assembly line. However, I just got an e-mail from the NCM the other day that might interest you. It says in part, " Limited Year Corvette Build Sheet "Originals" Available
We have obtained a limited number of original Corvette build sheets from the Corvette Assembly Plant and are offering them for sale through our Resource Center . We have random build sheets on Corvettes produced from 2002-2007.
These are “not” reproduction copies and many are marked, tattered and worn from the journey through the build process. Contact the Resource Center at: (800) 53-VETTE to find out if your 2002-2007 build sheet is available prior to purchase. "
If you go to their website http://www.corvettemuseum.com/
look at the third item of information in the center of the home page.
I hope this helps.

Props to you and thanks for the information. I called them this AM and had a very pleasant chat with Betty. They're checking and will call back to let me know whether or not they have it to sell. Very cool if it happens.

The build sheet does not, nor has it ever had the build date on it. The build sheet is the process instruction and routing that the car takes while it is being built. Since the build sheet is the instruction for the car, it needs to be produced prior to the car. No real way for it to get printed with the build date since when it is printed there isn't even a car. It is usually made a week to two weeks ahead of the start of the final assembly of the car and travels with the other sub assemblies of the vehicle that will all come together with the car on the final assembly line.
The codes on the build sheet are simply part numbers, reference codes or bin numbers. There is no database of those codes publicly available. If you have something specific you would like answered post it here. These do not necessarily speak to options nor RPO's. For example, the other information on the build sheet is specific to what electrical harness they are using and that will tie to what other features are installed in the car based on the PEG (1LT, 2LT, 3LT).

I'm sure others will also find the information interesting if not helpfull.
Questions, always questions.

Great info and thanks to all who provided it, but how would I go about finding out my build date? I bought my lady used so I didnt get the joy of the museum pick up or tour.

Anyone with access to the GM VIS (vehicle information system) can run your VIN and it lists the actual build date of the car. Forum member GMautotech (David) will do this routinely for members. Just send him a private message. You can find his profile here:

Of course there is always a chance that someone made a typo for mine.

Not to be too terrible picky, but the VIS system is not exact. We should probably first define what we mean by "birthday." I count the day it came off the end of the assembly line. I stood there and watched at 7:45 AM. VIS shows the build day as the next day. In the bigger scheme of things, it is not too big a deal, but we should know it is an approximate build date.

Released for shipment would explain it.
I always thought of it as "off the end of the line," so that would account for the minor difference. Of course, if I hadn't taken the "buyer's tour" I never would have known.
I know with the older cars (early C3s) they sometimes changed slightly when they counted the car as complete, and that skews some of the numbers for us history buffs.

Short of being lucky enough to retrieve one during a buyers tour at the assembly plant the only way to get it is to order a duplicate from the National Corvette Museum.

The build sheets are no longer hidden in the car. They are discarded at the end of the assembly process.
