Yes, supposedly they are placed in the front bumper at the factory.
Or you could join the National Corvette Museum and purchase one from them. You can get the Munroney stickers from them too. You'll need your VIN of course.

They were placed in an opening in the frame just behind the front fascia. Need to remove the fasica to get to it. Better alternative would be to get one from the museum - a lot less work.

What's the big deal w/ the build sheet, all the options the car came with is on the sticker in the glove box. Maybe you'll find the car's "birthday" on the one in the frame but why do you need that (unless you were going to have a birthday party for your car).

I just replaced the front fascia on my '99 and before I took the new one to the painter I remembered to look for the build sheet. All you need to do after removing some 2 dozen screws and nuts is to take of the piece of styrofoam covering the impact bar and voila, there it is!!
Of course like an idiot I gave the build sheet to the painter so he could use the paint code and VIN #. I asked him to please save it and give it back to me...
He threw it out.

And, to set the record straight, the build sheet does not have the "birthday" or build date printed on it. The build sheet is produced some time prior to build start and accompanies the car down the assembly line as it is being built. However, any GM dealer can inquire GM's Vehicle Inquiry System (VIS) for your car's service history and build information. (This is the data that Sponge Vette and a few other Forum members have access to and have so graciously provided to many others here.) The build information portion of the GM VIS inquiry will show the car's Build Date.

We took Museum delivery on our car, and as part of the delivery, we received a VIP tour of the plant. During the plant tour, one of the plant employees presented us with one of the original copies (see pic below) of our car's build sheet. As you can see in the pic, someone at the plant had hand scribed our car's build start date in the lower left hand corner of the build sheet.
The NCM serves as the archives for the Corvette Build Sheet data. While not an original, the reproduction copies of the build sheets that the Museum sells are very nice.
