Window stickers, build sheets and other paperwork

We recently found the build sheet for our Pontiac Safari--or, rather, it found us: http://classicmotorsports.net/project-cars/1975-pontiac-catalina-safari/archeological-digging/

What's the general consensus on this paperwork? Cool stuff to have or just more clutter?

Definitely worth keeping in a scrapbook or a folder along with the service history.

I found a build sheet behind each of two door panels in my '84 AMC Eagle. It was really neat to look through, but it was also mostly gibberish because I don't know any of those number codes. Accidentally tore this one a bit.

I also found this, which was really neat. Apparently this constituted quality control tracking at the time.

The Glass, Latch and Lock Components inside this door are assembled right.

I'm pretty sure that sentence wasn't grammared right.

In reply to Sarah Young:

Grammars were different in the early '80s. The Associated Pressorial Publicated Tables of Style were still in beta.

Very cool stuff to have. When I find old documentation in a car I feel like I found lost treasure....I love it. Plus it helps you tell what's correct on the car vs what has changed over the years. Not to mention the obvious boost in value legit documentation can bring..

In reply to Cotton:

Pretty sure my sheets will do nothing for the value of my $500 Eagle.

I hear you, but I was super excited when I found the build sheet on my 79 T/A parts car lol. Sometimes it won't help the value at all, like in the case of my parts car, but it was still fun to come across....just thinking about it sitting on top of the gas tank all those years.

Keep it. Toss it in a photo album with the other stuff about that car.

I found the build sheets for one of my Neons. I think it was the ACR.

Best was the old '67 Le Mans, though - inside the passenger door, we found some nameless UAW guy's brown bag lunch. Complete with desiccated sandwich, mummified cookies, and a banana that looked like a vanilla bean. The car was built in '66 and we found that in the early '80s while doing a quickie resto. I assume it was a prank by his buddies, and he went home hungry that day.

I'd keep it just to keep it. It's so hard to find the paperwork on vehicles that are 10 years old let alone 30+.

I have the window sticker for my 87 190e 2.3 16V. What a neat document to have for a pretty cool car. Its an official window into the car. Its proof positive of what did or did not come on the car.
