Just a guess, but I think the National Corvette Museum will sell you a reprint of the window sticker if you have the VIN.

NCM and Car Fax would be the two places to start !

Good luck on finding anything for a '77... Unless you know the original dealer and can obtain some paperwork from them, your only real hope is a previous owner.

The build sheets and window stickers are available from the NCM but only for cars produced after the move to Bowling Green (mid '81). Before that it's a shot in the dark.

Two other possibilities are if it happens to be a Canadian Corvette, they retained data on all Corvettes shipped to Canada and IF the car still has it's build sheet attached to the gas tank...

Good luck... GUSTO
