Found another GT-37 build sheet
Found another build sheet yesterday in the GT-37. I looked after finding out in another thread the Lakewood built casrs often had a buils sheet behind the drivers door panel. I took the door panel off yesterday and sure enough before the panel was all of the way off I could see a build sheet in the lower front area of the door panel. Still somewhat taped to the panel and in better shape than I would have expected from sitting outside for 16-17 years with the drivers window down. Here are some pictures where the build sheet was found. At least now I can see what the selling dealer was and it is different than the one listed on my PHS. Would that be due to my car being a zone rep car (from what someone on this board mentioned) for 8 months and turned into another dealer? Looks like the selling dealer was Bill Beck Pontiac in Charlotte, NC and the PHS states Sonny Hancock Pontiac Gastonia, NC ?
The original tape that was holding the build sheet in place to the trim panel. The original Castillian Bronxe color. I don't think this panel was ever taken off the car. Even my German Shepherd Marlie Cruze helped out. GT-37/DSC04777.jpg[/IMG]

Thanks for posting that.
Take a quick look and make sure the VIN matches. It is not uncommon for the wrong build sheet to make it into the wrong car (or one car with several wrong build sheets). Barring that - the dealer info on the build sheet will be for the dealer that generated the original order (and order number). If your car was a company owned vehicle and had multiple invoice transactions then the second dealership could be (and likely would be) different. PHS will sometimes have multiple invoices for the same car with this kind of history. I would, however, have expected that first "dealership" to be some internal GM owner, like Engineering or the Pontiac retail store. K

Nice find! It looks like a small version of the 8x11 type?
Obviously you have trained your Shepard Marlie to wiff out build sheets. Maybe you can bring her some upcoming car shows and make a few bucks!

The build sheet is about 8 1/2" X11". Maybe the dog will find another under the right door trim panel.

This may be too much info, but I just read this thread and ran down to my garage in my underwear to check my door trim panels. Nothing. Back to the couch.
