I had mine repaired many years ago at one of the car shows in town. I think it was the Clock Doctor that repaired mine. If you bring it to the show, they will repair it while you are there. If you have any upcoming Corvette shows in your area, find out which vendors will be in attendance and...

Bruno, It's difficult to understand what exactly is the problem with your car alarm. If you could get someone to format your questions in more correct grammer, that would help greatly. Not complaining, just want to help by understanding your problems. You might be able to just pull out the...

Mine is completely stock and will remain that way as long as I own it.

No. I don't have a CB option in my 79, but I do have the factory power antenna, which broke some time ago. I searched all the swap meets for a working used one for a long time and even find one, that I thought worked, but it too was not functioning too well. Shame on the seller. I ended up...

My response would be that every state has their own "rules" concerning emission laws violations. In Cook County, IL (that would be Chicago and it's suburbs), I have never heard or read about any one being pulled over for possible missing emissions equipment. I don't believe that local...

I think the C3 models get more attention from the general population, because they are not seen as much on the street as the C4 and C5 models. More owners drive their C4 and C5 year round, even in snowbelt states. I never see a model built before 1984 on the streets of Chicagoland during the...

The Corvette Black Book states the following: For 1980: block 14010207 = 350ci 190hp or 230hp late production 1981: block 14010207 = all 1982: block 14010207 = all 1984: block 14010207 = all 1985: block 14010207 = all To determine whether it's an L82 or L48, etc., you...

Ordered mine on Dec 8, 1978 from GK Chevrolet in Downers Grove and took delivery of it on March 26, 1979. It's still mine!

If the listed VIN is correct, then it's a '78 and not an '80 car. The Corvette Black Book lists the '78 VINs to be 1Z87L8S00001 thru 1Z87L8S440274. The '80 VINs would be 1Z878AS400001 thru 1Z878AS440614. I remember back in the early 80's, it was popular for owners with 78's and 79's to...

Ever since I purchased my '79 new, I have used Shell, ARCO (no longer in our area) Mobil and Amoco (now BP-Amoco). Never had any trouble with any of them. I now use the new Shell V-Power premium. Also use Shell in my Saab 9-3 daily driver.

FYI According to information obtained from "Corvette by the Numbers" publication, it states that starting with 1978, the normal 17 gallon tank was replaced with a 24 gallon "fuel-cell". I have a '79 and it has a 24 gallon tank. Believe me, I know every time I visit the Shell station! Also...

Hi Snakeman, I don't think I can give exact answer to your headlamp problem, but it probably caused by a vacuum leak, kinked vacuum hose or just poor vacuum to the headlamp system. Mine activate in about 5 seconds and yes, sometimes the right one is slower than the left. I can live with that...

Very nice looking 77 Sherrie. Reminds me of the Corvette that Bill Bixby drove on the TV show, The Magician.

What is your state's restrictions on historic license plates? Here in Illinois, they are called antique plates and restricts your driving of the vehicle only to and from car shows and for service related issues. They are not allowed on regular daily driver cars. I know from your thread that...

Just want to add a couple of cents to this discussion. I too own an original 79 Corvette, that I bought new in Dec 1978 (delivery March 1979). It has 30K on it and has been through the Bloomington Gold and Survivor judging. I have the Survivor award and a Silver award. I only passed 3 of the...

Upper radiator hose with part# 14016075 UJ stamp on it. It has a 1 1/4" inside diameter. Will take $20 plus the cost of shipping. PM me if interested.

Got to see a C6 coupe in Lemans Blue Metallic at the Brickyard 400 this past weekend and it looked great, but I choose the Daytona Orange Metallic.

Here's mine as taken at this year's Bloomington Gold event in St. Charles, IL.
