Incorrect build sheet
I have a '92 Aqua rag top, black top and black leather interior. The build sheet obtained from the Museum shows a white top and white leather interior. Everything else on the sheet is correct. A woman at the Museum tells me that last minute changes are pencilled in on the sheet. There are no such markings on my sheet.
Any comments??

Just a guess, but I would say that if you pull the build sheet from on your tank it will show the changes and they were never changed on the build sheet that the NCM has or a previous owner changed the top and interior. Just my guess.

Build sheet
Hopefully the Corvette assembly plant doesn't work this way but...
My personal experience in working at an assembly plant is that if the part(s) the build sheet called for wasn't (weren't) readily available, an 'on the fly' substitution was made. No zebra colors, an interior would be kept matching, but didn't match the order form.
Also, I have a '68 Camaro convertible whose ID plate says it's a V8 but it left the assembly plant with a 230 cu in 6 cyl that's still running well.
But a previous owner could have easily changed your top's color and the interior isn't much more work to change. Might be worth pulling a CarFax.

Did you get the window sticker at the same time you got the build sheet?? The window sticker will show both the interior seat color and the convertible top color.
It is very possible that the interior color was changed and the top replaced. The white interior was really only the seats and door panels while the vert top was vinyl (only the white top was vinyl; the other tops were cloth.)

RPO 11T should be the white vinyl convertible top and the white leather seats should RPO 103.

There are no markings on your reproduction sheet you just bought from the NCM. She is refering to actual build sheets from the factory that are placed on the gas tank and in the frame.
