Sister and brother-in-law of our friends in our club have their 82 there on display. It's not listed as one of those lost as of yet. Hope they don't lose any more. I wonder who has liability for those cars? Probably most are irreplaceable. Sad. Ron "Baldie88"

You can go on-line to the National Corvette Museum and give them your VIN to get both a window sticker and build sheet. The build sheet will give you not only the date when it was built but all your options. Here's the link if you are interested...

I scared the sh!t out of myself with a buddy's 07 Z06. That has 505hp so do I really need a Z06 with 620hp? NO! But if some kindly uncle that I didn't know leave me something in his will I'll be right down to the local Chevy dealer with check in hand. Make mine cyber gray, black or crystal...

Success Well I finally had time this morning to check out the top. It looks like just the trim piece around the targa top was coming off and not the frame separating from the acrylic which would have been much worse. Taking Junkie's suggestion I crimped the trim down and then using a rubber...

Hey Junk, appreciate the offer and I got your pm. Waterloo is about 25 miles south and east of downtown St. Louis. I know I'm going to be out of town from roughly Dec 12-16. Let me see what Paul comes up with and go from there. I don't want you to delay your trip because of me. In the mean...

Otter, thank you for your generous offer. My top is in excellent shape, just the trim piece coming loose. I'll keep your offer in mind in case I need another one. JJS, thanks for the suggestion. I was going to send him a pm today as I figured he may have an idea. Ron "Baldie88"

80 views and no suggestions. I'd really like some help because my normal luck is to screw up whatever I'm doing so it costs twice as much to fix my mistakes. Thank, Ron "Baldie88"

Our club did a Veterans Day parade on Saturday and as I was taking the targa top off my 88 I noticed the front trim seems to be separating from the glass. The top has no leaks for squeaks. The trim is only coming off the front and not the side. Is this just trim or is this the part of the...

As I said previously, I had the same symptoms as yours. The antenna would fully extend but would only retract part way, leaving 6-8 inches still out and the motor running. I ordered just the antenna mast from Mid America Design. Here is the link: C5 C4 Corvette Antenna Mast 1979-2004 - Mid...

I'll be the first to admit I'm not a real big fan of the wood details but man, that interior looks great! Maybe it's the lighter shade of gray (or shale?) but it really stands out. I especially like the gear selector. Great job!! Ron "Baldie88"

Just a suggestion but if your antenna motor is running it could be just the teeth at the end of the antenna mast are broken. Mine would go up but the last 6" wouldn't go all the way down. I replaced just the mast and it worked fine. The last few inches of the plastic teeth at the bottom of...

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to CAC. I'm sure someone will come along with answers to your questions but maybe I can help with a few. As for service manuals I purchased mine off of eBay. Be careful of some of those advertised as being on CDs. A lot of times these are generic...

Doing further research it appears my problem was related to my recently purchased Vent Master. It looks like sometimes the plunger for the Vent Master pushes the hatch ajar switch down too far so that when it is removed the regular pin on the hatch doesn't push the plunger down far enough to...

I was at the NCM for the Labor Day event this past weekend. Kirk Bennion's Night Race Blue had what might be the first front license plate bracket for the C7. I've attached a couple of pictures of it to this thread. It definitely looks better than what the C6's have which looks like an...

Anyone have any issues with the hatch ajar switch? I did a search and didn't find much information. My switch suddenly doesn't seem to be working. Light on the DIC showing "hatch ajar" is lit and the lights in the hatch stay on all the time. I'm tired of pulling the fuse for the courtesy...

I'm interested in the hatch vent. PM sent. Ron "Baldie88"

Just a suggestion but you might check that the inner part of your wheels are clean. I had a vibration even with new tires much like you describe and someone suggested checking the inner part of the wheel. I found out it had about 20 years of gunk and grease on it. After cleaning them up the...

Sorry I can't be of more help. Hopefully someone will come along with an idea. Good luck. Ron "Baldie88"

Does it crank and not start or is there no crank at all? I had a similar problem with my 88. It might start 20 times in a row and then it won't. I knew I had power but not even a click when I turned the key. Ended up being a bad starter. That's after I bypassed the VATS and replaced the...
