I'm trying to find a used good quality center console door that covers the ashtray and cig. lighter. The cover of the door is Shale. I tried the dealer but they won't sell just the door; I have to buy a complete center console bezel. Does anyone know where I can get one? Thanks in advance

50th anniversary interior codes The 154 GM number refers to the two-tone interior commonly refered to as Shale, not the code for either specific color. The 54T code refers to the color of the convertible top and IS NOT the color code for the darker interior color, it was a coincidence the...

Does anyone know what the quarter panel is made of - ABS, Polypropylene, Fiberglass? Thanks in advance for your time.:eyerole

Round Tail lights? I've seen several replies about Corvettes having round tail lights; what gives? They haven't always been round, there was a time they were more oblong than round. There was a time when they didn't have side windows, but now they do. There was a time when they didn't have...

If you were on the west coast I'd say the POR15 was overkill but since you're in Maine I'd say it is a good choice. I would paint over the POR-15 because it has no UV protection. I know it won’t be exposed to much UV light but Murphys Law says it will be just enough to cause it to discolor in...

My rear frame mounts were solid but the cage nut inside the car was rusted beyond repair. I have a convertible and had to remove the deck lid springs to get to the cage nuts. I then had to replace the cage nuts and their cage. It required a lot of work because of the two-piece body...

It shouldn't be that hard to see. It's on the firewall above the dimmer switch. If you cant see while kneeling on the ground and looking under the dash it might be hidden by oversized replacement carpeting or a torn up firewall blanket. It's there unless someone relocated it, which I doubt...

I've been tempted to buy a C5 and the C6 when they came out but refrained from both. I too would buy the pictured C7 in a heartbeat; even if GM now stands for Government Motors ;).

Mike, Thanks for the information. I did some follow-up and learned the button and recall you referred to occurred in the early 1977 model year. I still haven't seen a chromed or polished horn button for the 1975 model.

I have a 75 convertible and was told the horn button on units without tilt wheels had a squared outside edge that was chromed. The one on my car has a tapered edge that is painted the same color as the column. This is the only color/style that I have seen on all non-tilting columns. Has...

Good question about the clip. I used both clips with the original handle and it worked fine. I used both clips with the reproduction handle and it didn't work with either. Well actually it held the handle on but because of the position of the cutout for the clip the teeth on the handle...

I got it from Corvette America so long ago (it's been sitting on the shelf waiting to be installed) I'm sure they won't take it back. However I have looked at two others from different suppliers that have the same problem as the one from Corvette America. It's really wierd how you can see a...

I ordered a new reproduction window crank for my 75 and discovered that it differs slightly from the original, the difference is enough that it won't stay on the regulator shaft. Though it looks the same cosmetically, there is a difference where the handle slides over the regulator shaft. I've...

Brian, The pic's are perfect. You're correct that I'm trying to meet NCRS standards. Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to assist me. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to repay your kindness but please let me know if you need any assistance with your car. I live in the Seattle area...

Okay, I'll wait for the photos. Thanks for your time. Eric
