    BFGoodrich Radial T/As?

    Why not go with the 245/60SR15? Fills the wheel well much better. :D

    Need help with VIN #

    That is a good indication that a previous owner changed things since the factory did not use hood emblems for the L82 in '74. The only hood emblem used in '74 was the 454 for the LS4. tom...

    Rear Deck Spoiler

    To me, any non-factory spoilers would be worthless. The factory put in a lot of time and effort to get the aero package correct. The C5 is good for 180 mph or more. If a spoiler was needed then the factory would have added it. An after market spoiler will only mess up the aero package, could...

    Most I have seen on EBay are going for somewhere near $300.

    Center grill for 74

    It is not in reproduction so the only hope would be a Vette swap meet or maybe EBay. They are not cheap. Good luck. tom...

    Shipping your car

    Enclosed shipping is the best but the cost is almost double. So would depend upon your car. I would check with a couple of speciality car (corvette) dealers in your area to see who they use. tom...

    C5 or not C5...that is the question

    The later the model the better. They kept refining the cars each year so the next year is better the then previous. So go for the '04 first and then work your way back to the '97. The general rule though is to by the best car that you can afford and to not focus on year alone. tom...

    C5 Vs Gto

    Would have been interesting if both were automatics. He has more HP (The LS2 engine) but has more weight.

    Keyhole near emblem on driver's side fender?

    There is an alarm horn located behind the drivers side rear wheelwell. When the system is activated, if a door or the hood is opened, the alarm goes off. There is a plunger switch on each door and one on the cowl at the rear of the hood. On most of these old cars the alarm horn is rusted...

    Battery compartment

    How neat do you want it? Could just clean up what is there and then lay fiberglass mat over that. The easy cheap way. Or could find a car with a good battery compartment and make a mold. Or find a hulk with a good compartment, cut it out and graft onto your car. tom...

    New Mobil Oil

    The Mobil 1 Extended Performance sounds like the standard Mobil 1 but with "with 36 percent more anti-wear additives and 37 percent more cleaning agents ". The web site says that the regular Mobil 1 is " recommended for applications under warranty". So for your '04, it would be the regular...
