Default Build sheets??


I know this has been asked before but here goes--what's the hot tip on dealing with finding someway to have a repro copy of 77 corvette build sheet? Mine was there but because of age it was blank and just part of it. Got a copy of the original order form so I know what was on it originally codes/price etc. Just like to have a build sheet of some kind. thanks for any help or insight!

Was the car built in Bowling Green, KY? If so, GM/Chevrolet will still have the records for your car. If not, there is no way to reproduce the actual build sheet. There are outfits that can 'create' a good approximation of the original from the data on your order paperwork. Google "Corvette build sheet reproduction" and see what you get.

From your post I see you have a 1977 - I believe the original shipping documents are available for 1977 and up. The shipping document contains MUCH the same information as the build sheet.

When I ordered the shipping document for my 1980 it was a free service (some years back). Now it costs $50 - still worth it!

The build sheet on my 1980 was mostly legible but the paper was fragile and dust covered. The shipping document from GM Archives contained the same option information as what was legible on the build sheet and it has much the same information as the window sticker.

Default buildsheet

I ordered the original order form and got that. It is very interesting info to say the least. The original dealer is no longer in business but I know a little more about the car's history. My build sheet was completely blank, nothing readable on it at all, not the first word or letter. and only a portion of it left. I was hoping there might be a "hot tip" as to something that might could be done.

There are no tanks sheets available for any pre-Bowling Green cars.
