Question: build sheets

[mp3 Maker]

Hello where can I get a build sheet and window sticker for my L-81 built in St. Louis. I tried corvette museum and no luck on that for St. Louis cars

If you want an original build sheet you are out of luck.
There was a way to get a copy of the dealer invoice for some of the St Louis year cars.
if you do a search under 'dealer invoices' you should find the link that will tell you how.

Contact Allied-Vaughn and see if they have your VIN in their records. If they have your VIN, you will be able to obtain a copy of the dealer invoice for your car.

You could also take a chance, and lower the fuel tank of your L-81 to see if the build-sheet still there. I found mine there, and although it was so brittle that the center part (the part held by the glue they used) fell apart, at least I was able to take a few images of it for posterity.

I never tried, but I wonder if one were to spray clear coat paint on it, it would help it stay together...

GerryLp,
That is an interesting idea! I may just try it. Mine is not in as good shape as yours, however I do have all the pieces.

My '81 was one of the last built in Bowling green so I do have a copy of the original from the NCM.

Although there is nothing like having the orginal.

I just ordered a copy and I was glad that I wasn't one of the 82's that they don't have copies for. Be interesting to see it.

Taking IT away from the tank is the problem. The build sheet is so weathered and dry that the paper literally falls apart even if you lightly blow on it. I sprayed water on it, but that was tricky as well. I waited for the paper to absorb the water and then to let it air dry before I attempted to pull it away from the tank.

Now I keep it in a document protector.

If you can find your build sheet or dealer invoice you can fax them to the National Corvette Museum and they can have them convereted into the Window Sticker and Build Sheet, both laminated for display.
