Hello. I am a Virgin to the Corvette family. I bought my first Corvette on Wednesday, July 27, 2016. The Service Parts Identification sticker on the glove compartment door is badly worn and some parts of the sticker is illegible. I called the Corvette Museum, and she turned me onto a place that only gave me what the numbers in the VIN meant. How do I get a copy of the Parts ID sticker so I can get a copy of the window sticker as well as important info about options on this car?
Please help.

Gus - the Corvette Museum sells reproduction window stickers and build sheets that will give you all the information you need about options on the car. All you need is the VIN and they can take it from there. The price is reasonable for those items too.

 

No one I know reproduces them at this time, look into the Museum items

 

The Service Parts Identification sticker has (had?) a GM part number. That sticker is used on all GM vehicles. IIRC, there was a online business that provided a similar sticker, but you had to provide the RPO codes for your particular car. I haven't seen anything like that for some time. Could be that GM told them that the sticker design is a GM product and protected under copyright laws.

The problem with the sticker is the printing method. I recall that the blank sticker is on a continuous paper carrier that runs thru a printer. The carrier transfers the print characters to the back of the sticker which is then removed from the carrier and placed in the proper location for the car. The printer was an impact style and the character set was something that would have been used with mainframe computer printers. Can't recall the name of the typeface but it's something not normally used with PC printers.

The various 3-digit codes found on that decal don't always indicate a specific feature or part that is installed on the car. Some codes indicate emissions stuff, other codes may show a non-US delivery, there are billing codes and other things.

I agree that going to the NCM website and ordering the build sheet and window sticker is a good way to go. One thing you should do is to join the NCM first, then order the two documents. That will enable you to use the NCM member pricing. The NCM dues are 100% tax deductible as a charitable contribution.

 

If you really want to dig for the original factory build sheet, I've been told it usually can be found behind the front bumper cover, tucked in somewhere behind the absorber. I remember the '69 Camaro z28 had it over the gas tank. My '69 mach I had it under the carpet.
I was lucky and found my original window sticker in my owner's manual leatherette case.

 

Gus, how about these people http://www.ecsvin.com/

 

A dealership can print out what your car came with from the factory. they also will be able to show what was done through dealerships since its birth and verify that all recalls have been complied with. All for free
