Hi All, do factory records exist somewhere showing where (to which dealer) a particular seial numbered Vette was delivered? My interest is in tracking my 1971. Thanks in advance.

Yes and no. The original invoice or window sticker for your '71 will show the dealer it was delivered to. Original warranty and POP might have a clue concerning the dealership.

There are no other GM records available.

Hi C3,
Here's an example of what Mike related.
It's from my 71.
It was ordered by, and delivered to, Neal Chevrolet in Eldersburg, Md.
Regards,
Alan

The info is in the 2 boxes to the left of the COPO box. Dealer Number and Zone Number.
The Window sticker had the dealer's name on it.

I wish some kind of records existed for our older Vettes. My paper wasn't on the tank when I got the car. Hopefully I'll be able to find another one somewhere inside the car.

They sometimes turn up rolled up under the dash above the steering column, or under the carpets.
My dash has been apart before I owned mine so I didn't find anything there, but I believe I have the original tank and eventually will see if the tank sticker is there.
