A Cascade green / beige with power windows, 2 tops, all 'original' except the engine was a 59 passanger 283 recently sold here for $55000. It was a decent nice car with a powerglide automatic. New owner just found the correct numbered engine and is spending more money.

Needs a Monoco DMV Search It may sound stupid, but the Monoco DMV may have more records than we think. Friends that have retrieved cars out of Europe have found remarable records of vehicles at the local and country DMV's. You just need a friendly local to help you do the leg work.

A good friend who said " I WILL NEVER SELL THIS CAR" just went thru the wrong red color problem. He feels it cost him $15000 at the sale. Then he said, "We are only caretakers.......why did I change what was original on the car?" In his case the car was a survivor........that he just had to...

3737739 blocks are for 1958 only !! This block was only used in 1958 and very early 59 production. It was a completely new block from the 57 block used in Corvettes. The cylinder walls were thicker than 57's and was the first block that had three motor mount threaded holes on each side in...

THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY I tried to help........and then got warned there are two sides to every story, and only one side has been explained here. My New Mexico friends (three in number) have all said that Gary has been in business for over 20 years supplying quality products and...

8 year old Grandson is helpful It is days like this that "little fingers" can really come in handy. Back in the day my 8 year old Grandson helped with many tight area of Corvette restoration. Today he is a 23 year old 'know it all', but has a great job in a major service center fixing all kinds...

Looking forward to Bloomington Can't wait to see your car and finally meet you Bill. The 57 CELEBRATION at Bloomington Special Collection will be fantastic this year. And your car will have a nice place in history. I have owned nine 57's in my lifetime. They are one of the greatest...

iT'S A WINNER !! I might add it was built on August 31, 1960.

iT'S A WINNER !! What condition and options are on the car? Great care should be taken to document the body and car in restoration. After all, it is the last car with the rear end that was basically used for 5 years from 56 thru 60.

Not a NCRS car, but their body guys understand There are a lot of long time NCRS guys in your town who do or know who does good glass work. Even a boat repair shop can do glass work. And any short track 'race shop' like what the UNSER'S use can fabricated your roll cage. Send me a private...

Should fit with no cuts The area where the exhaust exits the engine bay on the lower leading fender edge is the only area that was cut at the factory for factory pipes. And that was to give more clearance for:puke 'heat' blistering paint and fiberglass. The biggest problem with headers is...

Short on material Over the years, many installers have complained that the material to the rear bow in 1" too:boogie short. Al says no, it is perfect. So you will need a professional to help you get it correct. I know they have to fit tight, but I don't understand why many of the long...

Looks like a nice new product This item has been needed:upthumbs for years. NOS assemblies have sold for $250 each in the near past. I will look forward to your completed instalation and how it all works.

VIN #7229 was made on Wednesday, April 12, 1961. So the original engine was probably dated somewhere around April 1- thru 3, with a casting of C250 ( Friday, March 25, 1960) Note that Flint engines had only the last digit for the year, where Tonowanda blocks had both numbers (0 VS. 60) See if...

B560= February 5, 1960. So the engine is a 519 block 283cu inch, with a "D" code already answered. It was cast at the Tonowanda, NY foundry on Feb 5, 1960. As previously stated, Corvette only used Flint, Michigan engines. This will work to get you from point A to point B...........but the NCRS /...

I think Al started Chicago Corvette Supply. If it is still 100% his I don't know. But Al and the name go back to the 70's. He has been around a long time, and may not be as efficient today as in 1980. Hell, who is.........definately not me.

What a find........a two top, rust free frame, possible light front body damage, very possibly a fuel injection car when new......and maybe solid black (the stainless off sets black like WOW!!) AND ALL FOR $25, OOO CANIDIAN ??? What's the exchange today? .85 to $1? If so, it is somewhere around...
