While not a build sheet, try http://www.compnine.com/vid.php. It's a VIN decoder that's extremely detailed. In most cases it will give you the build date and every original option (RPO) on the vehicle. Hope this helps.

Just a followup on compnine.com. They only let you enter two or three vin numers per day unless you join.

You can remove the front facia from your car and find one there.

Ordering mine from corvette museum. Just a side note, you can look up any dodge, Chrysler, jeep vin on the dodge web site for free. They want you to know what you bought. Saves time at the parts counter.

So, my 2000 FRC was built on March 1, 2000. Anybody know the typical production span each year? Not a big deal, just curious if that is late in a production run?
