Hello friends - I have a question I would bet some one of you knows the answer to. Is there a way to find out the original sale history of my Vette just through the VIN #? I would love to know where my car was originally sold and if possible dig deeper to find what was optioned on the car when it was new and how much it originally sold for.Ken - C3VR Lifetime Member #79

Yes, Ken, there is a place that you can go to to get the cars original invoice (its on a thread somewhere on here, but smarter minds then mine will have to tell you where). If you had a Bowling Green car you could just call the factory (81-82). We sent away for ours and it had the original dealer and all hte factory installed options. Its cool!

I think that you have the infoo you need. Most built sheets on vettes made after the Bowling Green facility opened can be gotten from there. Anythin made in St Louis is gone. Some say a fire destroyed all the records but not all beleive this!
