RPO codes next to jack box on 1996 !

Build sheet copy from Corvette museum.

I usually take a digital photo of my RPO (regular production option) Data Code Sticker that is normally located under the center console lid or in the glove box (photo below).

Then I down load the photo onto my desktop computer and make a photo copy of it. I then take a blank sheet of paper and decode each option by hand on the blank sheet of paper using the decoder links below (the examples in the photos below are of my 1999 Pontiac Bonneville SE).

There are several other RPO decoder links online if the ones above don`t have a particular code listed on your RPO Data Sticker.

This technique will work for all GM Cars & Trucks that have a RPO Data Code Sticker.

You can also take your VIN to any New GM Dealer and have them give you a print-out....but it is not as complete as decoding your own RPO Data Code Sticker with the method I described above (see examples in photos below)....I do both!

You can also contact the NCM (national corvette museum) and purchase laminated copies of your Build Sheet and Window Sales Sticker (the examples in photos below are of my 1992 Corvette Convertible).

They also offer full coverage auto insurance for Corvettes and Collector Cars too. My policy costs $135 a year as long as it is not a daily driver (link below).

By the way, Decoding is very, very time consuming....but is really rewarding in the end!!

IS YOURS A COUPE OR CONVERTIBLE?    LOOK FOR THE BUILD CODES   ( CONVERTIBLE IS ON THE STORAGE LID BEHIND THE PASS SEAT)....   YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DECODE IT FROM THERE

Go to: http://Free-vin-decoder.com

put your vin # in there and it will give you all the information on your car including it’s birthday (no charge).

The National Corvette Museum will provide copies of the window sticker as well as its build sheet. There is a charge for this but if you want proper documentation they are the source. 
Good luck and have fun!

Is your car an automatic or manual? If it's 4 speed auto you have gears on 2's. My 1987 has 3:08 and my tack reads 2000 at 70 miles an hour. I've heard the 6 speed models have a real high overdrive so I'm not sure on those.

Hello 

i was wondering if anyone can help me with my 96 CE as far as how many were made like the one I recently purchased 

it is a convertible with factory hard top and black soft top LT4 with suspension control and Torch Red interior 

in reading what I could find and what I was told it’s 1 of 41 and factory hardtop could even cut that is this true?

I was told if you ordered factory hardtop u had to buy and install a kit n screw downs before you could put it on?

I know for sure it’s a pain to take off lol

if anyone has any information it would be much appreciated 

thanks 

Hello DEREK!   My guess is that is a rare one....   I for one leave my hardtop on all the time for looks and for a much improved driving experience.   That roof actually has a built in roll bar so that is why its a pain to r&r.

ENJOY IT !

Thanks 

didn’t know about reinforcement in hardtop 

love the look of urs u enjoy too
