Question How To Go About Getting Original Window Sticker

Hi there guys,
so I am being overwhelmed with information about details
of what comes with and what is desired to have with any of
the Camaros we own, and the original owner of my vehicle
did not feel the need to give up any of the original owner's
manuals and booklets that usually came with the car when it was new,
Sooo...

I read about being able to request a repro of the original window sticker
from a dealer, but that if would say reprint on it?
and it would not say the name of the original dealer on it as well?


I found the name of the original dealer who sold my car when it was new,
(Priority Chevrolet in Chesapeake, VA.) and was wondering:
If I contact them about the window sticker, is it possible it would have the dealership info on it as well? and would then
be more accurate than another dealership providing the reprint?




thanks for any/all help!!!

Do a title search on the vin w/ the DMV thats how I got the sticker for my corvette from its original owner. You can also ask the dealer if they wouldn't mind contacting the original owner to see if he has it tucked away somewhere.
I still have the original window sticker for my '87 corvette that was stolen years ago on the slim chance someone ever comes looking for it.

I asked my sales guy at the dealer I bought it from to see if he can contact the guy
who traded it in, and see if he has/would be willing to provide me with all the original
bits that came with it. I guess one of the guys at the dealership says he has done
business with the guy for years, so hopefully he can get him to hand 'em over.
I hope he has the window sticker though, that would be really really cool to have.


If I have to go through the DMV, how did you actually obtain the sticker after
doing a title search like you mentioned?


all new to me, so bare with the newb. please.

The dealer who originally received the car should be able to order a duplicate window label up to a certain point - not sure about date cut-off -

Fbodfather has spoken And its true. My salesman was able to order me a reprint, it looks the same as the original window sticker, only difference is it says in small letters at the bottom "reprint". But i was happy

I bought my Camaro from Priority Chevrolet in Chesapeake, VA. ! They didn't have the Camaro i wanted so they trades another dealer out of the area for the 1 i wanted . problem was .. when the driver brought mine back he folded up the Original window sticker and it had creases all over it . I asked for a new one and got it but the new 1 had reprint on it and no dealer info . So i took my time and pressed the Original one between to towels and lightly ironed the crease out . then had both laminated at office max for under $5.00 .
first time i was in a show a guy tells his buddy that isn't the Original window sticker because it doesn't have the dealer location on it and it said reprint . lol i just set back and smiled . Now i just display the Original and all is good .
If you need to talk to someone at Priority let me know and i can give you my Salesman name and number and see if he can help you out . Pm me if your interested .

probably hard to get it unless you find the original owner. Luckily my dealer lamanated it and signed it since it was a Berger Car.

I was kinda-sorta right -

We purge the BARS system after one year - so there's a limit.

HOWEVER - Pontiac Historic Services does a lot of stuff. (for you Poncho people - they can get you a copy of the invoice to your car - -going back to the 30s....)

They also do re-production window stickers - not identical - but still.....

The dealer signed yours? I am sorry, but I am not sure, why would
you want the dealer to sign it? Is it something I should try and get done if I ever get ahold of it?

The dealer I got the car from are familiar with the original owner, so
I am having them try and contact him and see what things he held onto
from the car, and if he would be willing to pass them on to me.

*CROSSES FINGERS*, I just am a bit pessimistic though, the guy traded
in the car for a Caddy ctv. and then a month later bought his wife one, I
just don't get the feeling this guy gets sentimentally attached to these cars, therefore may not have saved anything. :(

to get it signed is your choice. Mine was signed on the back. If you dont know Berger was a big name for Camaros. "Camaro by Berger". They used to take camaros and hot rob them. Kind of like a roush, shelby etc. Back in the day if you wanted a camaro hot rod'd you went to them.

Window sticker is really nothing more than something cool to have sure 50 years from now it might add some value but not thousands.

Famous Camaro dealers back in the 60s included Berger, Yenko, Dana, Nickey, Gibb, Scuncio, and Baldwin..........there were others that I'm sure I've forgotten to add..........

All of those dealers are out of business - EXCEPT for Berger!

They've been in Grand Rapids, MI for almost 90 years!

Matt Berger is the 4th generation Berger to run the dealership.....they're one of our largest dealers in the country - AND - they have EXCELLENT customer service before, during, and after the sale.

Berger did "Prescribed Power by Berger" Camaros (and Chevelles and Novas and Corvettes) back in the 60s.......and they started to offer a host of Hi-Performance Camaros starting in 2000........

They continue that tradition today - so having Matt Berger or Dale Berger sign the window label is definitely 'value added!'
