i just got my build sheet and i find my corvette was born 9/15/94.. and oddly enough 10 years later, 9/15/04... was the day i looked at it for the first time. instant karma.....it says it was delievered to kevil chevrolet in mt olive new jersey... are they a big corvette dealer in jersey? the only thing i can't figure out is why everything for 1995 says "dark red metallic" but my build sheet is saying "brilliant red metallic?" it is fun collecting original items from 1995 though... i have the brochures and videos. what other interesting things have any of you collected regarding your corvettes??

Yeah, a lot of BIG credit card statements..... My Carfax report was enlightening, she was delivered by the stork in Pontiac Michigan but thankfully was down south in a year so where she's remained ever since, only one minor accident, etc. I'd like to get a replica window sticker and other such items one of these days.

Kevil, isn't that big of a dealer altogether, so you can't think of them as Kerbeck or Konners. BTW - Mt. Olive is where Andy & Barney hung out, if that helps clarify.

This is common that color names will be different from reference books compared to window stickers, ect. Brilliant Red was another name for `90-`95 Dark Red Metallic.
