As mentioned, there is a date on your car door. Certificate of Origin goes to the DMV when you register your car after the original purchase, it then is usually destroyed and the pink slip is created from it.
You can request a copy of your build sheet from the Corvette Museum as well (for a fee) and your window sticker.

I mentioned the build sheet, that doesn't show the date, just looked at mine.
My Certificate of Origin shows 11/10/16
The copy of the Factory Invoice I have shows it was invoiced and shipped on 11/10/16
I'll have to check my door later to see how that matches up.

The build date is usually the date of invoice. The sticker on the inside of the door will give you just the month/year the car started to be built. For example, if your car was a late build, your sticker might say 04/2016, but the actual build date might show within the first week of May if it was invoiced during that week.
