In the 4 years I've had mine, I've met countless great new people. Gonna meet some more next weekend.

Step's picture of the metal bracketry looks like my 64 also. All the metal parts were green (zinc chromate?) just like the birdcage.

We did get a "little" off topic didn't we......:SLAP

Actually, these were all gearheads in the group. They were all over my car when I showed up. I would say I was very well received. It was the first time I had met any of them. Turned out to be a great time. With my "skinny" tires, compared to their's, I think I could do the longest burnout...

I think they thought I might hold them up...... I was able to keep up quite well, even in the twisties. The trick was to stay in second gear and keep the revs around 5500+. The wife was white knuckling it...... I was smilin'.

From last weekend's cruise:

That would be ME!!!

If I wasn't rebuilding my house right now, it would be in my garage. I'd freshen it up and keep it just the way it is. The guy says it will go for under $30K, so I'm thinking the reserve is probably 29,900 or thereabouts.

There's 2 on ebay now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/63-64-65-66-67-CORVETTE-AM-FM-RADIO-1963-TO-1967_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ80741QQitemZ4580864268QQrdZ1...

This one looks affordable... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1963...1QQcmdZViewItem

I don't know what it is about the front end of this car, but I've always loved the look. Reminds me of the old gassers of the era. I had this same front end treatment on my 62 back in the day. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1959...1QQcmdZViewItem If I only had the money....... This would be in...

As Jon said... everything expensive that they know you have can be taxed. It's normally a tax levied by the town you live in. They get the vehicle ownership info through DMV. When I retire and become just another citizen, I'll be taxed for 4 vehicles, a camper and my boat. It's a percentage...

Thanks for the tip. May just go that way. Too bad you can only get 5 characters. I liked the NY plates because I could get up to 8 characters. Just right for my handle. Guess I'll have to get creative.

Being active duty military, I'm still a NY resident. One of the perks is that I don't pay property taxes on the car and the initial sales tax was waived also. Once I retire up here in CT, my residency will change, I'll get CT tags, and I gotta pay all the $%&##*&$$#$ taxes.

Got together with some of the folks from the "other" forum's NE section yesterday. I had the only C2 and other than one C4, the rest were C5's. Some nice machinery there. I was surprised that I was able to keep up with them as I have 2 less gears and much skinnier tires. Pics are here...

Mine ain't broke yet, so I can't tell you how long it will last. I don't think I'll EVER pull 135 amps on this car, unless some shorts out solid. If so, I'll have a bit more to worry about than a $5.99 regulator. The regulator doesn't handle all those amps, it just controls the output of the...

Barry, Regulator is on sale for 5.99. http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/ItemBrowse/c-10101/s-10101/p-100000212686/mediaCode-ZX/appId-10363699/Pr-p_CATENTRY_ID:10000021268610363699 Alterstart part # 7122-3-135A. $79.99...

Barry, the new Alt looks just like the old one and you can swap the pulleys, and you can't tell the regulator from the original if you swap the covers (2 screws). Physical dimensions are the same.

That's the same one I got. Plugs right in. Same with the solid state regulator from J.C. Whitney. $9.95, plugs right in.

As long as it's not snowing, I'm Drivin'!!
