Incredible looking Corvette Elaine. I was wondering why a Callaway instead of the new 427 convertible? Both Corvettes are awesome, so I'm happy for the both of you that you purchased one of the two; maybe you should get the 427 and have them both. Billy has a great Callaway coupe that he...

I was 15 or 16 when I saw my first Corvette, a 53-55 model and immediately loved it. Then the 56 model came out and I was hooked for good. Previous to the Corvette, I thought that a red jeed CJ-5 was the vehicle to own, but the vette changed all that. In 1960, I purchased a red '56 (all I...

Welcome to the CAC and congratulations on the Corvette purchase. I hope you enjoy the Corvette as much as I have mine over the past 50+ years. So you see, I am old too, but one is never to old to purchase their first Corvette nor many over the years. As you see by my user name and avatar, I...

I too have a collection of 1/18 scale die casts corvettes. Mine are red of course, about 40 of them. The display cabinet is almost full. I would like to get an 1/18 scale C6 Grand Sport in red - haven't found it yet. My wife is happy that the number of die casts exceed the number of full...

I believe the 75 battery series was replaced by the 78 series. My original battery was the 75 series; you really need the 78 series now. If in doubt, take measurements of your present battery and check it with the one I listed. I believe that I paid around $100 to $120 before my senior citizen...

I purchased the pillow for my 1991 convertible and it worked fine. GM replaced the plastic window for the later C4s and my 1994 convertible had a glass rear window. Gave the pillow to a friend who has a 1967 convertible and he uses it whenever his top is down. They work great for the plastic...

After listening to Paul (C4C5specialist) at CF seminar in 2011 at MAMW, I believe that the Professional Delco is the correct battery for the C5s. Paul told how problems occur in the C5 due to the incorrect battery; voltage and CCA/RC are very important. If you purchase the battery from a...

I've used Zaino and C-Magic on my Corvettes and find that C-Magic is the best wax I've ever used. Zaino is a very close second and was my favorite until I tried C-Magic. My thanks to Kemit Dye, who owns and developed C-Magic, for spending several hours with me at a Vettes On The Rockies event...

When I had my C2s, I lubricated with the graphite liquid that did turn into powder that worked it's way into the speedometer and caused all kinds of problems. Had to have the speedo rebuilt. Was told to use the grease sparingly and lightly and not near the speedometer mechanism. Did that and...

I store my 3 Corvettes, including my 2002 Z06, for a minimum of 6 months each year. I do everthing I can to prepare them for storage so that I only have to check the oil level and air pressure and do a general visual inspection when I remove them from storage. It usually takes about 6 to 8...

I was one of the fortunate ones who met DawG and I also took an instant liking to the man. Was always hoping he would be able to make another CF. He will be missed by all. Barrett

I only have the Driver Side TPS (Green Label) for a 1989 to 92 Corvette. Barrett

Sorry, the tires are Michelin All/Season (A/S) Zero Pressure (ZP - Michelin's term for Run Flats). Good in the rain and on dry pavement. Barrett

I find it strange that both doors don't unlock with the fobs. Since both fobs don't work to unlock-lock your Corvette, I believe that the problem is in the lock-unlock mechanisms. Do you hear a clicking sound when using the fobs? If you do, then it is more than likely the receiver. They operate...

I run the A/S ZPs tires on my 02 coupe. They have a tread guarantee for 40K miles. Barrett

My 2002 Coupe is Vin 00003, but it was the first RED corvette off the assembly line. 00001 was a Blue Coupe and purchased by Bob MacDorman, but he sold it as part of his collection and 00002 was a black roadster sold in Virginia. I doubt that the low VIN would bring any more money if I wanted to...

Edmond, since your Z06 does not have a TPS system, you are relegated to using an after market hand tool to measure the tire pressure. The advice is correct to check them cold, as the sticker inside the door states. One problem I have run into is the tool itself. Two of my vettes have the TPS...

Paulie, you have to remember that the battery life expectancy for the TPS is 5 years by GM, but this is a combination of miles and years. GM expects an average miles/year around 15K. Therefore the life of the TPS is longer if you drive less miles. Since you purchased off E-Bay, you may not...

Since you have a tremendous Corvette, how about Blue Thunder. Remember the movie with Roy Schieder? Blue Thunder was a mean helo. Yours may sound like thunder. Barrett

I believe that the price of gas is tied to any Corvette event, especially CACs CF or non-Cruise Fests. In 08 in Cleveland, the price skyrocketed to $4.10+ per gallon for top tier. Then in 09, the non-CF in BG, the price jumped; likewise in 2010 and 2011 in Effingham where Illinois increased...
