Build Sheet

[Roger H.]

Could someone tell me where I might find the build sheet on a 1965 coupe?

Re: Build Sheet

Roger - By "build sheet" if you mean Body and Chassis Broadcast Copies, I'm Pretty sure the consensus is that these are not available for mid-years, as they were internal documents for the St. Louis Plant - and they did a good job of de-papering cars before they left the plant. I'm sure others will chime in with more info for you, too...thx, Mark

Re: Build Sheet

Thank you, Mark. I was hoping I might find something hidden in the car. Something like the tank stickers used in later years.

Re: Build Sheet

Thank you, Harry. I've owned the car since 1973 and have yet to come across any paper while working on it.

Re: Build Sheet

Roger, You might be able to contact origonal Selling Dealer to get more info. I was able to talk to the selling dealer for my 65 Coupe & he had his copy of the sales paperwork, which had all the Vin Number & options plus name & address of first owner. Thankfully "Tom Henry" owner of Tom Henry Chevrolet in Bakerstown Pa. was able to find it & was happy to give it to me. I had been a loyal customer since the 70's.
NCRS has a service to get your Corvette's shipping date & origonal selling dealer that it was shipped to. Good Luck!

Roger: Took many seminars with Al Grenning in the past. IIRC the C2 and C3's between the paperwork in the plant and paperwork
sent/given to other entities eg.Banks/Carriers/Dealers/Owners(Protecto-Plate) numbered around 12 to 13 pieces. There was a staggering amount of info you want
out there. Finding them is hard but not impossible. If you can find the original owner somehow you might be able to find out "who loaned him
the money". I was lucky to find this out and get the info I wanted(Wholesale Invoice)from the bank who give him the loan. A lot of these banks "don't throw nothing away". Never know what you can find. Larry

Re: Build Sheet

I found that my car was delivered to Bedford Chevrolet in Brooklyn NY. Apparently they are no longer in business. I bought the car in 1973 from a Ford dealer in Lexington MA. It was sitting on their used car lot. That dealer is also long gone.

Was it Hutchins Ford in Lexington.?? I grew up in the next town and knew the Hutchins family. All I can add to your search is that the dealer existed.
I have a 63 from a small dealer in Media, Pa. I have been able to find a couple of dealer give away items.

Re: Build Sheet

Dave, the dealer was Patriot Ford. It is now a Toyota dealer.

Roger,
Patriot rings a vague bell but I can't place it. Hutchins Ford was on Mass. Ave. Brings back memories.

Re: Build Sheet

I don't recall Hutchins Ford. Patriot Ford was located at 409 Mass.Ave.near the Arlington line. Perhaps there was a name change at some point. I'm remembering the good old days, too.

Roger,
That's the same location. 1/2 mile up from Berman's Package Store. How's that for a landmark.?? So it must have been Hutchins in the 60's and Patriot sometime in the 70's.

Re: Build Sheet

Dave, my research shows that Patriot Ford was in business from April 1966 to November 1994.

Thanks Roger. I guess Hutchins closed earlier than I remembered. At that point I was off to college.
