I have a 69 corvette in which my father purchased brand new. This morning I was able to reach through the gas fill area and grab the build sheet on top of the gas tank. It came right off and is in decent shape. I had to to brush off lots of dirt and dust. Is there anyone I can send this sheet to have cleaned, restored and decode this sheet? Any help is appreciated.

 

Slap it between two pieces of thin plastic....keep it original & dry in a safe place....you can decode the car yourself.....

Congrat's on the find....

The base engine for the 1969 Corvette was changed to 350ci 300hp. Famed designer Harley Earl died at age 75. John DeLorean became the general manager of Chevrolet and canceled work on the XP-882, a four-wheel drive mid-engine test Corvette.

Stay in tune....

 

Most of the codes you can check online - can you post a photo or is it unclear? I can check my book as well for you.

Here are copies of mine ((you should be able to see some of the codes/descriptions)

 

Gregg-73 beat me to it.

 

Place it in an "archival" quality, non-acidic plastic jacket. Some even have UV protection so the sun's rays don't cause the ink to fade. If you want to be certain of how to care for it/clean it, etc., call a document restoration service.

DO NOT use Scotch tape to 'stitch' pieces back together.

 

I recieved my two tank stickers when I bought the car - one is loose and in three sections and the other is sealed in some type of plastic - but they used Scotch tape on it prior to sealing it up.

 

Isn't there someone on Ebay that can make you an exact (new) duplicate? If not, check with the Camaro crowd. They might know too...

What I would do first is a high res scan and save it digitally. It is much easier to make a digital copy more legible.

 

Whatever that site makes.. it's nothing like a build sheet or a window sticker. ie Crap.
