Open your glove box. I believe all your option "RPO codes" are on the inside of the door. Copy them on paper, then go to this website and follow the proper clicks to your year list and find the options list and compare what you have on your list to what was offered. www.corvetteactioncenter.com Look for the "Tech Center" pulldown -upper right toolbar then click "Model Center" then your specific year. (Easier to do than say)

There should be a listing in your glove box, the one on the dash, of your RPO's - regular production options. Search RPO's here to get a list of what they mean or buy a Corvette Black Book. They have each year options etc. Here's a link and the book is on sale http://www.corvetteamerica.com/cf/di...295&Rcp=184812

A search should show some places where you can can get the RPO's, follow the links.

His profile says its a 97 therefore the RPO codes will be on the back side of the rear left side cover in the rear hatch area. You can decode these RPO codes to find out your original options.

97s have the least amount of options available out of all the C5s..although most of the important ones were available or add-able (except active handling)

Send your VIN in a PM to RichieRichZ06 on this forum. He'll send you a printout of all the orginal options (and RPO codes), maintenance history, an warranty history, build date, etc., and.... anything else you want to know about your car that's in GM's database.

Take your VIN to a dealer and ask them to run a history on the car. It should tell you what options were ordered on the car. You can also PM Sponge Vette here on the forum and he may be able to run you the same thing.

If you want a window sticker, check with the National Corvette Museum - they can make you a copy.

i had both my window sticker and build sheet reprinted by the NCM, then laminated, then i framed them when i got home. They look sweet.

You can still get the RPO codes from the left rear cover as the build sheet and window sticker are kind of expensive...
