Hello fellow C3ers. I just picked up a pretty nice 69 vert to keep my C7 company and I am wondering if there's any way to find out exactly what options it came with? I tried search and if you're familair with it, you know what I mean! It's a daily driver that does not have the original motor, and I want to find out what else is different. Thanks in advance.

 

The only way I know to tell if the build sheet is still with the car is drop the Fuel Tank and see if it is there. If you have not read this article yet it is a good read.

some people have found build sheets behind the speedo/tach area,but ive never seen one there

 

The rocker panels are off a later model.

 

Sent you a PM Gunny, Semper Fi.

 

Man! Those pics make me want to do the Curley Shuffle!

Keep the pics coming!

 

I am going to plagiarizer for a minute here on finding the build sheet on early model Corvettes and it is in the article I posted. The build Sheets were glued to the Fuel Tanks from 1967 through 1982 and can be more than likely found there if still in good shape. B But can also be found under the carpets in early model corvettes or just where ever the builders left them while building the car.

We are talking about the hippy years so while they were supposed to be on the Fuel Tank these stoners seemed to put them in other places on the cars.



For the purpose of this article tank sticker refers to a Corvette Order Copy or manifest glued to the gas tank, a practice known to have occurred from 1967-82. Broadcast Copy refers to production documents (either the Body Broadcast Copy or Chassis Broadcast Copy) found on or associated with Corvettes assembled prior to 1973. Not many of these are around. A manifest is a one-page multi-part document with printed broadcast codes for body and chassis used in both St Louis and in Bowling Green. Build sheet is used generically to reference any copy of the manifest found on a Corvette whether its glued to the tank or discovered under the carpet. It's also used to reference early production documents, the Broadcast Copy for either body or chassis. These are all assembly plant documents in contrast to the Corvette Order Copy, which is a sales document. Ironically, the National Corvette Museum markets a service providing "build sheets" for Bowling Green-built Corvettes, but plant engineers use the term manifest. - See more at: http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/....0aIC4LJl.dpuf

They can be found all over the car but the on top of the Fuel Tank on 1973 on is the most common place

Today, owners still discover build sheets stuffed away from the late 70's. And it's amazing the places where these build sheets are discovered. For example in 2004 at the Charlotte Regional, an owner with both a 78 Pace Car and Silver anniversary (low-mileage), was looking underneath his vehicle and discovered a build sheet folded and tucked on the topside of the strut support bracket (Figure 3). Owners have learned that other places to search for these rare production documents include under carpeting, tucked up between speedometer and tach, and even inside seats! The quality of these finds is superb! Of course the traditional location remains the gas tank but visitors to Corvette online forums often ask where else they could find the DNA of their classic Corvettes. - See more at: http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/....0aIC4LJl.dpuf

 

The first two options I see are the headrests and the gill inserts.

 

Awesome vette's, enjoy both!

 

I did not find a build sheet on my gas tank

 

The first comprehensive and authoritative book on the topic of C3 buildsheets that Mako referenced above is now available.

Join the club. Lots of folks find nothing.

 

Hi E,
VERY nice looking 69.
It appears it has the EXTREMELY rare wiper grill and fender trim delete options!!!!!
I bet it'll give you a bit of different fun than your new one.
Good Luck with it!
