    1980 Build Sheet Question

    I'm glad to say I've just recovered the build sheet from my 80, and it's in quite good condition. Owing to being glued on the front of the tank, and having a nice layer of protective dust, it's not too faded and I can read all the option codes.
    I'm just a little curious about the meaning of some of the other information boxes. Are there any resources that I can use to tell me what all the other information is (I understand things like the VIN, serial number etc, but there's a lot of other "meaningless" numbers and letters there.

    Can anyone confirm that the intended dealer is printed on the build sheet? The bottom left hand corner has fallen away, and I wonder if that info was there. All that remains is "......chevrolet Inc, MI 49097"
    There appears to be a dealer listed at that zip code on the GM dealer locator, and I'm considering getting in touch. What (if any) kind of info are they likely to provide me? Is it likely they would have a record of the first owner?
    Or is that just something that varies from dealer to dealer? (Not familiar with the system over the pond, being from the UK!)

    Thanks!

    Theo -

    It's highly unlikely that the selling dealer will have any records - the law only requires them to keep tax-related records for ten years, and few dealers will spend the money for off-site storage of old records that aren't necessary to the operation of their business. Give it a try, though - you never know - you might find a pack rat

      OK, I'll give them a try. Even if there's not much to gain from them, it's kinda nice to know where the vette originally came from!
