Paperwork
I just bought a '01 C5 and it came with no paperwork except for the owners manual. I remember a decade ago when I had a C3 there was a website where you could send them your VIN and they would send you the build sheet, window sticker copy and other info. Also is there a GM site where you can get all the dealer service information they have on file for the car?

The Corvette Museum offers build sheets and window stickers although they are a bit expensive:
https://store.corvettemuseum.com/ser...buildsheet.asp
The dealer can get you a copy of the GMVIS for your VIN. Some want to charge you for that. If yours does then send an Email to either of the two individuals listed below and include your VIN. Either will email you back the GMVIS for your car. Both are Forum supporting vendors:
dfichtner@fichtnerchevrolet.com Dennis Fichtner

I would love to have the window sticker.
It amazes me how some people throw away all the documentation. There was a nice little leather owners manual folder that should have come with it. That was gone.

I wonder how much of that stuff is stolen out of parked cars and then put on ebay. Perhaps that's what happened to mine.

A decade ago I found the build sheet for my 80 on top of the gas tank after learning that sometimes they were left there. The plant didn't hide C5 build sheets someplace on the car, did they?

Good advice to contact the National Corvette Museum for a build sheet and window sticker.

If you want a replica window sticker:
http://corvetteparts.com/sticker/
http://corvetteparts.com/sticker/
), the finished sticker is missing a lot of "boilerplate" text and there are no references to GM copyright or even Federal information. So it looks nice but it's not a "replica". Just a fair copy.One thing about the Build Sheed and Window Sticker from the NCM is that if you join the NCM first, the docs prices you pay are the "Member" prices. And the annual membership fee is 100% tax deductible as a charitable contribution.

I ran my '02 data thru that website and the prices don't match the original window sticker (off by nearly $1000 ), the finished sticker is missing a lot of "boilerplate" text and there are no references to GM copyright or even Federal information. So it looks nice but it's not a "replica". Just a fair copy.
