Default Build Sheet

On a recent trip to the National Corvette Museum I bought a build sheet for my car. I had already forgotten about it. When I got home today my bride had found a frame for it and this waiting for me.



Added the window sticker

It's kinda neat to look at it and figure out what everything is......anyone know what "bumper height" is?

Is there anything on the internet that will explain some of these categories that aren't obvious?

It is interesting the listed weight of the C5 on this build sheet. Just how much gasoline is shipped in the C5? Must be two gallons or so--the C5's weight is very light.

Unfortunately-the frame covers the date and time of processing-that is listed on the top right margin.

Nice item to have (especially framed). I purchased the build sheet and window sticker from NCM right after I bought my car. Mine was a car that was originally delivered to a dealership in Florida and now resides here in California.

This car was delivered to a dealer in Las Vegas but was sold to the original owner through a dealer in Denver. It seems to me like thats a long ways to transfer a new car from one dealer to another. It was still in Denver when I bought it and had it shipped to Arkansas.

I did a quick search to see if I could find any explanation on the build sheet. Didn't really find anything.

Maybe ET will come a long and shed some light on some of it.

I remember finding the build sheet tucked away in the spare tire for my 72 stingray. It was so old and stained and torn it came apart when i tried to open it up. very disappointed.

I added a pic of the window sticker. They charged extra for a manual transmission and yellow paint.

The op's car was shipped to Bill Heard and if it was the same as the Bill Heard dealership that was in Nashville, they were a piece of work. Very shady practices.

I'm blessed to have her as my wife! She is always thoughtful to everyone and is a real lady. I'm very proud to call her my wife! She also had this painting done for my birthday from a picture we had.

I'm glad you called this to my attention. The date and time are not on this build sheet. It was cut right on the line, cutting date and time off. I may contact them about printing another one and not cutting it on the line.
