While lifting the body off of my '82 Vette today, I came across a pleasant suprise.
The Factory Build Sticker

I was very dirty and glued really well to the gas tank pad. I had looked all over with a flashlight prior to today and could not find the Build Sheet anywhere. I assumed it was placed under the carpet or on top of the tank and lost.

Pretty excited, especially after I cleaned it up with a new soft paintbrush. Here are two photos: One where I located the Sheet mounted on the gas tank and the other is after I cleaned it up and scotch taped the back to hold it together.

The only problem now is figuring out the codes that I can read.

 

Great find man!!!! Makes me wanna go dig for mine...congrats I'm happy for any vette owner who runs up on something like that.Is it legiable?

 

Thanks!

The bottom photo of the Build Sheet pieced back together is about as legible as it gets. I can read many of the options but I don't have a clue what the codes mean?
Any ideas out there? Please help in decoding this, Thanks Guys!

 

I'm not sure about codes either but i have a buddy at the chevy dealer here if you give me what you have i'll be glad to do what i can to find out what they mean for you.

 

you can get a new one from the cvt museum,some wer lost

 

The quality of the image is poor. I would suggest scanning it rather than taking a photo of it. This will optimize the characters.

 

Hello,
One of the comments below states that a replacement build sheet is available from the Corvette museum. Can anyone advise the email address please.

Regards,
Chris

I can not figure out the bold question marks. Some of the RPO Codes on my '82 are different that what you provided. Maybe they had changed over the years.
I still can't figure out why my Vette has the opening rear hatch window with the inside release. These are ALL factory parts and was factory installed. I can tell by the rivets used and the wiring. Another Forum Member said that maybe someone added it, but I pretty certain it was factory. And it does not list as a Collector's Edition because the VIN does not have a 0 in the 7th character.

 

If anyone could help with the codes that I have not figured out, please do

 

That is cool! Your build sheet actually looks readable.

I took my spare tire carrier assymbly of my 82 last weekend to repair some rust spots on the gas tank and I saw the end of my cars build sheet on the gas tank. I have not dropped the tank to retrieve the build sheet yet. I guess Im to lazy to drain the tank and spend the time. I may do it this weekend. I would love to remove the sheet and put it in the document files.

I have never removed a gas tank before. Is it difficult? Also how hard is it to put back in? I would be doing from the bottom side of the car.

 

what what is this,


you mean if i give my vin to the museum they can give me a duplicate form my car !?!?! this would be great

 

Rats!! 81 and up only

 

damn would'nt you know that my 82 VIN is one of the missing ones.

 

Congrats!
