Default 63 Build sheet

I'm looking for any suggestions on finding a copy of the build sheet for my 63 conv. I've searched thru a ton of Forum Posts and I don't find any info about it. Thank's in advance for any suggestions.

uh, that's because there are / were NO build sheets until 1967 as you think of them

The only document a '63 had (besides the window sticker) was the "Regular Commercial and Truck" order, copy #5, which went to the dealer in the glove box; very few were ever given to the customer. "Tank stickers" (Corvette Order Copy) didn't start until '67.

Is it true that GM has this all these records tucked away someplace, but they wont make them public?

Porsche has the "Kardex" or Certificate of Authenticity which they will provide to current owners for a charge.

I think Ferrari will even make you a new "matching number" engine.

It would make it easier, but some of the mystery, corruption and fun would be gone.

if there were any such records they would have surfaced by now - Noland Adams and several others had "free rein" with a lot of documentaiton to write their "anthologies" and none of them have ever admitted to viewing the "holy grail"
