To elaborate a little on what they said above this - there's a sticker on the inside of the glovebox lid that lists all of the RPO (regular production option) codes - like Z51.
If it's not there - check on the bottom side of the lid of the right or left compartment in the trunk.
The other thing you can do - is send away to the Corvette Museum for the orignal build sheet and the window sticker.

They have a great deal if you buy the build sheet, the sticker and the Black Book as a package.
