For a 1973, what would the best replacement battery be? The one that came with the car looks more like a motorcycle battery than a car battert - it's pretty small. Suggestions? I'm starting to think this may also be the reason why my battery meter hasn't worked since I got the car. Thanks as...

Hey Eric, My car is with Brian at Stingray now...just waiting for the estimate.... Thanks a lot...great place! Mike

Ok, I have 23910...Mike :-)

Thanks Eric I'll definitely do that on Monday and see what he says. I guess they're listed in the book? I haven't heard of them... But, I'll say Eric sent me...Mike

If your C3 parking brake needed complete replacement from top to bottom, what would a realistic price be including labor at the shop? I was quoted $2000 U.S.$. Is that nuts or what? The quote was from a specialty Vette garage - what would Midas or Speedy charge - or even the Chev dealer...

Isn't the 1978 a bit different from the 1973, space wise?

Thanks, as always for the very good ideas guys! Now I have options... Mike

Gang, In a 1973 there is absolutely no room to store the T-tops and still have 2 speakers to listen to the stereo. So...any solutions as to mini speakers, customized speaker setups, or anyway to hear the tunes other than from the front speakers? When I cought the car it came with 2...

In almost every C3 Vette I've seen, the original car alarm is not working. Did you repair your original alarm, or install a new one? Mike

If it helps, I have a 1973 L48 Coupe (see attached) so you could see what you might be getting.... Mine was originally Orange! I guess when my turn comes, I'll have to decide if I should leave it red (which I like a lot) or go back to it's correct orange. Mine is also numbers matching. Mike

Hey VMS4EVR - GREAT car...He spent $250,000 on it? I wonder what he thinks he can get. SO far reserve not met at $67,000!

Personal question?? What did the whole project cost you, approximately? Amazing job by the way! Mike

Just had my carb rebuilt, fuel line replaced, choke spring replaced....AND.....much better get up and go! No more stalling, no more hesitation! Yahoo! I also asked them to check the secondaries, which they do, but it made me sound like I actally knew something.... Thanks for all the advice...
