Original Paper Work???
So I am prepping to remove the body off of a 77 that i have had for a couple of years and finally decided to restore. I pull out the steering colom and stuffed up in between the gauges I find this crumpled up sheet of paper.
http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8e23bf2d.jpg I begin unfolding it and start getting excited. :woohoo: This is an old car with no lineage as far as i know its been passed around and never taken care of except for Buba putting his grubby fingers all over it. http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5d5390e4.jpg http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/...psd4036022.jpg http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/...psaea2323a.jpg http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/...ps20fc898d.jpg http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/...psb18a6090.jpg http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/...ps296babc4.jpg http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/...psffce1088.jpg http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/...ps236a1c97.jpg http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/...ps44bcdaaf.jpg So as I am looking it all over the options all look and sound like my vette (I believe to be original) but on the top right what looks like the VIN dose not match. My VIN is 1Z37L7S406804. Has any thing like this happened to any one else out there?? Dose any one out there have there original paper work and if so do the vin#s match?? Would some input as to if i have found a rare diamond or is this just a random piece of paper to be throw away?? Thanks |
I have the original build sheets for both the 74 & the 82, and yes the VIN #'s do match on both builds. I would venture to say, that is not the build sheet for your vehicle, as you can see the difference between the builds,
yours.....6,804 your build sheet....38,177 check the stamp on the engine, RS head pad and see what code and numbers you have there.....good luck |
"stuffed btwn the gauges." Maybe the gauge cluster was changed, or even the steering column by a previous owner? Any chance the VIN is hard to read, and you're just reading in incorrectly? I've never examined a build sheet in person, and tried to look at your pics, but I'm not even sure which number was the VIN.

FWIW--I bought a 71 Malibu new. When I removed the rear seat, there were build sheets fom three different cars stuffed behind there.

Congratulations!
Congratulations! and you are a lucky person! :cheers:
Found mine in the dash too, but looked like something the cat ate and then coughed up.:ack: |
A very nice find and in great shape! Its unfortunate that it doesn't match up for you but please do not discard!

Have you guys found many build sheets on the fuel tank? I haven't dropped my tank or lifted the body to look yet but would LOVE to find a build sheet on my '69

you have a very rare car, based on the build sheet. In '77 Hugh Heffner ordered it special. That is why it sayx "XXX Customer Order". ;-)
