Not to beat a dead horse here but if the possibility exists that the car had the potential to produce a build sheet and your pocket was stuffed with the cash to make a deal, I know with out a doubt that a vast majority of you would look for it. Face it a few on this site have said one time or another that original documentation is money in the bank. If I was so inclined and had the money to buy this car and was told that a build sheet could exist I would most certainly pull something or at least make an attempt, and I don't mean after it was brought home. Sure the seller would likely say forget it but I would try my darndest(?)to find it. I agree those that the owner may have jumped the gun in his statement of possibly having one but my 2 cents says that a build sheet is priceless, never a show stopper but sure is super nice to have. I have attended a few high end auctions over the years and when the auction begins to stall just the repeated mentioning of a build sheet or in general any original paper work that offered proof of it's originality generaly seemed to ralley up the price a touch. I'm extremely lucky my '69 Coupe has all but the original window sticker, too include a mint broadcast sheet with carbon copy.Sure I paid a touch more but it was money very wisely invested. At my local shows those that are into these rides flip when I show them all the paper work. I must believe that it effects value in a big way. Enough said.. Again my 2 pennies.
