A Corvette transmission and shifter will sell. If you are an NCRS member advertise it in the NCRS driveline. Verle

Do you have the shifter also? Thank you, Verle

Jeff, It is about the same thing, a few days to a "few" weeks. Less than two weeks is common. Verle

The NCRS Judging Manual has six months as an acceptable window, but that is not common. Most parts were much closer, more like two or three weeks and many less than one week. As an example, on your car, I would expect to see engine block casting dates no earlier than May, with a build date a...

As an add on to what Tom has said, I see nothing in the ad to suggest anything special about the car except it is a 58 Corvette. No special engine, brakes, transmission, in fact, wrong engine and transmission. This is the wrong car with the wrong price. Just my opinion. Verle

I believe the "S" suffix is for a full size passenger car. The block was cast Oct 17, 1962 and was built Oct 22, 1972. The last 62 Corvette was built in August of 62. Verle

Take another look at the build code, it seems to be incomplete. I suspect it should be something like T03I*HF, where I represents a 1 T = Tonawanda plant VIN derative 18D is probably 1968 HF for 68 is 275 HP 327, 4 bbl, turbohydromatic Casting number 660 would work for 68 passenger, chevelle...

Jim, What wheels did you mount the 205s on? If they are 5" you may experience a handling feature that you may not like. Radial sidewalls are more flexible than bias ply so the tire will roll sideways with a narrow rim. The sensation will be of the car "wallowing". It will feel like it is...

Loren, I have looked at this "002" body several times. It exhibits many of the features described in the engineering documents. It is obviously one of the very earliest bodies. There is nothing to definitely identify which early body it is, or is not. No frame, no VIN tag, no accompanying...

Jim, Your car will handle better if you mount the radials on wider wheels. The wider tire, the wider the wheel, up to the limit of what will fit in your wheel wells. I am running 215/75/15 on the back of my 57 on 7 inch wheels (zero offset) and they rub on the upper wheel well lip on hard...

It was 1957, I was 16 years old driving my dad's old chevy pickup around the town square when I saw my first Corvette. It was a red 57 visiting our little town from Springfield, Mo, about 100 miles away. I found a parking place and drooled on the Corvette until the owner returned. I flooded him...

Jerry, I thought some friends of his rebuilt the car for his widow. Verle

I turned 16 in 1957 in a small town in Missouri. No Corvettes in that town. One day I was driving my Dad's pickup around the town square and spotted a 57 Corvette, Red with white cove and red interior. I parked and stood around drooling down the front of my shirt until the owner walked up. He...

Wapaugh, you have email.

I installed an early Doug Nash 5 speed in my 57. It was a very tight fit, but it did fit and worked very well with my 3.08. Unfortunately it failed on a long drive at highway speed (several hundred miles at 70 mph). Second gear seized on the main shaft. Doug Nash 5 speeds have brass bushings...

I'll try to load my own picture this time.

Doug, Depending on the year of the car, yes the horn relay in an integral part of the charging system. It is a central connection for a number of wires from the starter, generator/alternator and igintion system. Verle

I'm sure everyone is wondering....why didn't you get a BIG motor? :)

Do you still have the 56-58 hubcap? Thank you, Verle

Better pictures I hope.
