Corvette Build Sheet
This document is a highly coveted classic automotive artifact known as a Corvette Tank Sticker (specifically, the Chevrolet Motor Division "Corvette Order Copy"). It is a factory document originally glued to the top of the fuel tank during assembly, used by line workers to build the car to specific customer or dealer options. Because it was exposed to the elements, moisture, and road debris for decades, it is common for salvaged tank stickers to show severe rust stains, tearing, and degradation like the copy pictured. Key Details & Identification Features Document Type: Official factory invoice copy used to verify the specific build, options, and authenticity of classic Corvettes (primarily from the mid-1960s to early 1970s). The "COPO" Box: In the top-right header, there is a dedicated field labeled "COPO/F&SO". COPO stands for Central Office Production Order, which was Chevrolet's internal system for handling fleet orders, special high-performance engines, or non-standard paint/trim configurations not available on standard order forms. Option Columns: The lower section features dedicated print fields for factory options including Trim, Engine, Air Con, Transistor Ign., Axle, Transmission, Tires, Conv. Top, Aux. Top, Radio, and Comfort & Conv. Value to Collectors and Restorers Authenticity Proof: Tank stickers are considered the "Holy Grail" of paperwork for classic Corvette collectors because they definitively prove whether a car was originally born with rare options (like a big-block engine, rare radio delete, or unique racing packages). Corvette Forensic Value: Even a heavily stained, burned, or torn sticker like this one can often be carefully scanned, back-lit, or digitally enhanced to read the original faded ink impressions, verifying a vehicle's million-dollar pedigree.
