If you can't find it, or get to it, you can order one from the National Corvette Museum. I ordered one, laminated, for my '03 50th Anniversary Edition. I also ordered a laminated window sticker, even though I have the original.

I had to undo the gas tank strap in order to slide the build sheet out from underneath the strap. It took some doing for sure.

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).

http://www.rpocodes.com/

http://www.cadillacfaq.com/rpo/index.php

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).

National Corvette Museum Build Sheet & Window Sticker purchase link:

https://www.corvettemuseum.org/learn/library-archives/build-sheets-window-stickers/

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!

Vette(s): Black 1987 Corvette Engine-383, 450 HP. Transmission- 700R4 with shift kit and 2300-2500 monster torque converter Wheels- 9 1/2 front, 11" rear.

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.
