Honest answer?  You probably will never know for certain.  The records do not exist.  The best you can do is to regress the numbers in The Corvette Black Book with the additional problem of the absence of exterior color documentation for '73.  After the math, you will have an approximate number of Elkhart Green big blocks with AT, but it will always be a guess-timate.

 

   GaMornin Sir, Here is a production question for you. I have a 72' conv, in war bonnett yellow, base car. I have located the tank sticker and it is VERY humble. Some of the info is there, but not all. IS there a way of re-producing the sticker?  I have most of it removed, some is GONE WITH THE WIND, some is stuck beyond removal.  Also is there a way to reconstruct what I have for history of the buggy?  THANKS

 

No.  The original tank sticker is a one-of-a-kind document specific to that particular vehicle.  You are lucky to have found what you have.

Yes, provided you can obtain additional factory documentation from previous owners of the car or through a title search.  An original window sticker would help you considerably.  The information on the tank sticker and the window sticker was essentially the same (both were created from the same 7 page Corvette Order) with the exception the window sticker contained the VIN, prices for the options, and where the car was to be shipped.  Ditto for the original vehicle invoice.  It contained all the options/pricing information, the shipping information, and the date the invoice was prepared and expected date of delivery to the receiving dealer.

 

GM records for the early cars (68-76) do not exist.  77-80 owners might be able to obtain a copy of the dealer invoice from Allied-Vaughn.    http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/infosearch/index.php?cmd=area

Owners of Bowling Green built cars might be able to obtain copies of their build sheets from the National Corvette Museum.

 

Good luck with the hunt.

 

 

Also, the tank sticker may show the destination dealer.  Mine from '74 did.

 

If you know your options, there are also places that make very nice reproduction window stickers.

 

Careful here.  The folks who say they will "reproduce" your tank sticker or window sitcker rely upon you to provide the information; they only print what you send them.

 

I've never owned an ZL-1, but I could provide the required information to the reprint folks and receive a tank and window sticker for one.
