The RPO code sticker that 89nascar mentioned is the easiest way.
Otherwise, the build sheet may be rolled up inside the front bumper beam of the chassis or you can order a build sheet and/or a window sticker from the National Corvette Museum.\:

If you find the RPO code sticker, take a picture, post it, PM me and I'll decode it for you...
