There are some examples of these paper documents over on the C3 Vette Registry, in the 1970 Corvette Registry forum, under the post Ident Numbers Corvette Order Copy (Build Sheets) thread.
On the top line of these documents, there is a box called Order Number. Several of these sheets have a alpha-numeric figure in here. When you see a figure in this box, the adjacent box called Exp. Date of Prod. also has a specific date in it.
Some of these documents, including mine does not have anything in the Order Number box, consequently there is a blank date in the Exp. Date of Prod. box as well.
However, there is always a specific date in the Date Received box.
How does this work? Are all Corvettes ordered by either Dealer or Individual?
Does the factory (St. Louis) just allocate various optioned cars to different dealers, as their allocation, without a order or specific order placed?
In other words, why doesn't all Corvette Order Copies contain an expected date of production? Why does some sheets NOT have an Order Number?
I find this intriguing...fascinating. Thanks, for any info, from those in the know.
