Default BIG Build sheets

I was just wondering if most dealers saved the factory build sheets for the purchaser. I bought my Corvette off the dealers show room floor and when I picked it up they gave me the window sticker, plus large build sheet pages that must have traveled with the car down the production line -way bigger than the single page build sheet that I found in my 79 Z/28.

I ordered mine and I got all the paperwork that was in the plastic bag in the back of the car (including the plastic bags) The only thing I let them throw away was the car cover, as it's not reusable.

Same here. Mike at Criswell gave me all the build sheets along with the blank window sticker and mailed the real window sticker.

I thought build sheets were given to the museum to be sold to owners. That's how I got mine.

See post 17 for a picture of all the build sheets.

it's a crap shoot. I was on the line watching my C7 get built. I saw those build sheets get tossed in the garbage a lot from the workers. Full garbage cans filled with them. If you are on the buyer's tour, you are 100% guaranteed you get the big build sheet and maybe some other ones...

You can always buy them from NCM though if you don't get it. So, all is not lost, just some $$.

I have the museum copy and it is about half or less the size of the original one that is with the car during manufacture. Having said that the museum copy is a really nice size and easy to frame. Not a huge deal either way
