Info on C-427 build from 1993?

I have a C-427 that I purchased in 2004 from a private party that didn't have any build sheet at all and I'm trying to find any original build information that I can from the original records in probably 1993. It has a VIN plate on the door jam that shows the VIN, model: Classic-427 and the Name of the company at that time as: Classic Roadsters, Ltd., Fargo ND.
As I understand it, Classic Roadsters II is who bought the company several years ago. I was really hoping that they have records of any builds from back in 1993. I could supply the VIN if helpful. Thanks.

John,
CR is out of business and you can't get any information. When I asked Don before he closed the doors he told me that he did not have any of that information.

Jonsred,
Just so you have verification to a point, TCrist is right. DON (CRII) NEVER got any of the paperwork from the original CR's. CR's never filed the cars by Vin or serial to begin with. You would be lucky if they had the information from the number of the stick on Tag they sent with the kit.

One possible solution is that it was NOT a factory built car? IF it has all Mustang II, suspension, front cut springs, regulars shocks all the way around, especially "MONROES", GM tilt column with a key on the column it would be a good guess that it was a CR build. ?? BUT...in '93 I might have built it.? Got a tag on it " Build by DV-Classics by Elite, Inc.?
