Build sheet inaccurate?
My buildsheet lists my car as a "Corvette 2DR Coupe" 1YZ87 but omits listing the factory power brakes and power steering among the options and extra equipment. It is a California car delivered to Santa Maria, CA. VIN matches. Any ideas about the discrepancy? Anyone else have the same issue? Thanks!

It's a '79 C3
In 1979, PS and PB were standard. They would not show on the build sheet. The car was made in St. Louis. According to the Corvette Museum those records were lost in a fire. However, I got them from a company that had access to the microfiche. If you're interested in contacting that company, I can get that to you when I get home (I'm in PA right now). let me know.

1977-81 St. Louis cars.
The NCM has information for 81 and 82 Bowling Green cars.
Neither source is 100% complete.

Build Sheet for St Louis Corvettes
I got mine from GM Media Archive Vehicle Invoices, Allied Vaughn, Livonia MI, www.gmmediaarchive.com phone 734-261-5086. I was very satisfied, looked like a copy of microfiche. Let me know if this doesn't work.
I was told by Betty at the Corvette Museum that these records had been destroyed somehow but apparently copies survived. The build sheet matches perfectly my car.
