Default Grrrrrrrr

Unfortunately some of us don't have their "Build Sheets"--mine somewhere in its life got a new gas tank and I am just guessing the build sheet went with the old tank. I am wondering just how much interest there was in them in the late 70's or 80's. Anyway I have spent a lot of time trying to chase down the history of the car--lots of deadends and long distance phone bills. I chased the cars history down to Ohio and low and behold the name "Pro Team" came up--well here comes the Grrrrrr part--I call Pro Team up and ask to speak to the General Manager in hopes that they might have some receipts or documentation. They apparently sold the car in the late 80's. Well the salesman could not have been any bigger smarta$$--would not let me talk with the manager, said "do I sound like the secretary to you"? Well the conversation went downhill from there. He makes the list of "if I could just have 5 minutes in a room alone with him to discuss manners" list

Ok I'm done--so you guys with all that nice documentation--enjoy

I have not looked for my build sheet.

My car is all original so I expect that it is still there.

What type of information is on the build sheet?

Proteam sounds like a class operation!

I have nothing on my Vette either Dave, andit's a '69 to boot so there is almost nothing known about it. I could make it an L88 if I wanted

I'm in the same boat as you Dave. I did a tank swap a few weeks ago and no tank sticker.

You can get your build sheet and original window sticker from the Corvette Museum.
http://www.corvettemuseum.com
Go to thier web site. You can get them laminated if you want. The window sticker is cool to have, has all the options, prices, what dealer it went to. They are about 30-40 bucks each and 5 more for laminated.

I found my build sheet still on top of my '74. The only issue is that is was so faded you couldn't read anything...

I shopped at Carlisle for my 70. Then I found out that I was doing it all wrong. The "Big Dogs" would come in on Thursday & buy up the deals and then sell them back to us on Saturday for a profit. That's where the term "Pro" comes in. Those of us who could only get there on Saturday would never make it to the "pros".
