I Have a friend that works for GM as a Engineer, I ask if he can do some research on my 67. He spent 3 days digging through the archives only to find out what everyone already knew. No records prior to 77 unless built in Canada. Oh well it was worth a shot.

Not quite . gm has records on all chevs built in Canada and shipped there as well . all corvettes shipped to Canada from factory have documentation on facts like date shipped and what dealer it went to and options.starting in 1967 the details are that of a build sheet including extra fuel from the factory if ordered that way.1966 and older are not as detailed .

LOL yeah he is, I wish he could have dug up something. At the end of the day I own a amazing car with or without the build sheet.

It amazes me that even today, we still can't find out something as simple as how many 2013 Z06's were made yellow over gray.
