Default First time C5 Vette owner !!!!!

I know that I am going to get ragged on, but please bear with me !
I just bought a like new (12,000 miles) 2001 Vette. WOW! Quite an exciting ride for a retiree like me. What i want to know is this. Is there a way for me to get a printed out Monroney label or build sheet for this car that I bought? It is pretty well loaded, but I would still like to know
the what, where, when this vehicle was built? I have always kept the Monroney labels from the special cars that I have owned over the years, but the seller was unable to locate it for me when I bought it yesterday. Anybody out there think you might be able to help or direct me to a source for this info? HELP PLEASE! 2001 Coupe / 6 speed
Millennium Yellow! Gray hair blowing in the wind!

Another thing you can do is ask your dealer to print you out a report using your Vin number. My report was 8 pages. It included the born on date and when the engine was scanned in at the plant. Lots of other stuff plus a complete service report on the car since it was new. Then you can get the window sticker and build sheet from the NCM as the other's have said. Good luck with your new ride and were all waiting for some pics!!!! A digital camera is a must around here. Miles of smiles.

1st - congratluations on the new Vette! Welcome to the forum.

I kept reading this, wondering what the heck a Monroney label was or is? It sounded like a dealership name to me... so I asked my cyrstal ball and found the answer. We'ins here in the South call em winderstickers. Sheesh - The things you learn here

What Is A Monroney Sticker?
[KS] Although prices can sometimes be negotiable, automobiles are the only consumer items required by law to carry manufacturer suggested retail price stickers. This sticker, also called a Monroney label, is attached to a window of the vehicle. It shows the base price of that model, including all standard equipment; manufacturer-installed options and their retail prices; transportation or freight charges (also known as destination or delivery charges); and the total manufacturer's suggested retail price. Details about the average fuel economy for the vehicle are required on all cars and light trucks; this information is usually included on the Monroney label, but will sometimes be found on a separate sticker, the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] Fuel Economy Label. The Monroney label may not be removed by anyone other than the purchaser.

The legislation requiring the sticker is commonly known as the Monroney Law, named after its sponsor in Congress, Almer Stillwell "Mike" Monroney (1902-1980): Born in Oklahoma; U.S. Representative from Oklahoma, 1939-51; U.S. Senator from Oklahoma, 1951-69.
