1965 Corvette Conv.
I have a 1965 Corvette Conv. that is totally rebuilt to new factory spec.
What I am looking for is the factory paper work for the car showing what it had when it was sold, what dealer, and anything else

??? The St. Louis plant was destroyed in a fire decades ago along with most all of the major records and build sheets of the cars built there. GM had the remnants demolished years ago. I've always assumed that's one of the big hiccups that pre-Bowling Green owners deal with if you don't have access to the original build sheet and documentation.

and it authenticates the car, if it is real or just a clone of a desirable build, is the 65 a 'real' fuelie or a 396 or not, and value is tied to being able to prove it. Docs the op wants don't just exist somewhere out there, next in line the POP is extremely important.

How about we just answer his question?? 
NCRS should have paperwork on the selling dealer and the day the car was built.
Then the detective work begins. You can TRY to identify options and colors from the TRIM Tag and just looking at things in the car...........but you have to know what you are looking for.
There are also a few companies for hire that try and research the owners and paper trail for you. We can give you names if you want. Not too $$$$$$$, but not cheap either.

Often finding previous owners also = finding some original paperwork that may be laying around.
Did I make a mistake in my reply?? Should I have remained on the sideline and not replied?? Let me know.

Yes, I read the entire thread. Until my posting, no one had given him any information regarding what he can do to get the info he desired. Not even how to find the original dealer.
