OK try just part of the address,I got into it without a pass word, when I got my print out. The sales man can get this for you and eMail it if nothing works for you. Try just the heading. Any way the chark marks might still be in w/w. Thev corvette museum sells the build sheet for$35.00 but this is the same for free if you can get in ......Go for it hope you are able to get your info.....

The date in the front wheel well is not the build date of the car. It is the date that the front wheel well was put in to production and QC inspected. It can be a week or more off from the actual build date of the car. The only way to obtain the build date is from the GM VIS system which any dealer or the NCM can do.

Last I checked the build sheet I got from the museum did not have the build date listed anywhere.

The only way I was able to confirm that was to get a GM VIS report.

Correct again. There is sometimes a date at the top of older buildsheets with a time stamp. This is a fax header and it is from when the buildsheets were faxed to the factory after the order was picked up. Those days are gone. My C5 build sheet had this header on it and it was almost two weeks prior to the actual build date of my car.

The build sheet itself does not contain the actual build date of the car. It is simply a receipie if you will, a process sheet that contains the bill of materials for that car for each station that it will pass through.

Did you get a copy of your "Certificate of Origin?" My dealer had the foresight to print me a copy when I handed him the check for the car. I believe that the date on the COO is the date the vehicle came off the line and it is the same date that the NCM Ambassador gave me as the "build date" when I took NCM delivery.
