I'll echo the recommondation for Kumho. I put them on about 2 years ago and couldn't be happier. BTW - It looks like I've got a twin of your 88. Mine was born on May 31, 1988. Ron "Baldie88"

Let me chime in. I live near St. Louis, sent Mel a PM like he asked, and he has given me the guy's information concerning the seat restoration and has also given me a couple of things to look out for when I remove the seats. He also told me what he paid for the restoration. Couldn't be more...

Rob, Our club (St. Louis Corvette Club) meets near Sunset Hills. We discussed contacting this person to see if we could help get the car back on the road but from the looks of it, it will probably be totalled. The people who run Sunset Lakes, where we have our meeting, had their home...

Pat, Thank you for clearing up the pictures. The only one I have ever seen is the one in the book I have and the one on this thread. Like someone said, just like the bosses to get their picture taken with the first car. I have not read Nolan's book and that is next on my list of books to get...

First off, welcome to CAC. It's a great meeting place for all us Corvette enthusiasts. Second, I received a book for Christmas titled "The Corvette Factories: Building America's Sports Car". The author is Mike Mueller with a copyright date of 2009. On page 44 of the book is the same picture as...

Welcome to the CAC! I'm in the St. Louis Corvette Club and we have about 4 folks who have a clone of your car. We meet in the south county area off of Gravois Rd. If you are interested in joining a club, Boone Trail Corvette Club meet in the St. Charles/O'Fallon area and are a good bunch of...

A friend at work brought in his Hot Rod Magazine specifically so I could read the article. You also need to go to You Tube and do a search on Brent Jackson. There's a short video of this beast running. Ron "Baldie88"

I have a fellow club member who has about 295,000 on his 86 so you are ahead of him! Great to see these old cars last. Since I have about 53,000 on my 88 I figure I'll have to live to be 140 to get up to your mileage! ;LOL Ron "Baldie88"

Vetteoz may have the solution but I had a similar problem with my 88 and it turned out to be the infamous Delran (?) plastic bushings. Do a search and you'll probably find a hundred threads. They turn to dust with age. They are a pain to replace but I've had no problems since then. If this...

Great looking cars. I'm jealous!!:) Ron "Baldie88"

I'm sure someone will step in with more knowledge than me but I'm pretty sure the attachments were changed during the mid 86 model year run. I'm also pretty sure that the tops are not interchangeable unless you change out the hardware. I believe there is one attachment type from 84 to mid 86 and...

First thing that came to mind when I saw the picture was Pontiac Aztek! :ohnoes I hope they do better than this even though I know it's a concept at this point. Ron "Baldie88"

While I'm not familiar with the headliner you are talking about, I do have the static cling one in my 88 and it works great. It is perferrated so you can still get light in through the top but it definitely stops the direct sunlight in the summer. It wasn't very expensive and is easy to...

If I recall correctly the tops are not interchangeable. From 84 to mid 86 they had one type of attachment. Then mid 86 to I believe the end of the run (not really sure) they had a different type of attachment. You can do a search and it will probably give you the correct dates when it...

Thanks for the article. Sure couldn't find it when I did a search. I'm still waiting for the guy to do mine. He's having trouble getting the dye for my 88 red interior. He's fixing a couple of minor issues along with the seats so after 3 weeks of waiting I'm anxious to get it done. Ron...

I'll be the first to admit that I don't follow NASCAR like I use to. We have a friend who worked at DEI and then Hendricks who worked his way up to crew chief on their Nationwide cars so I always watched those races to see if I could spot Brian. He now works for Penske as an engineer so we don't...

I did a search and really didn't find what I was looking for. I've got an 88 with the sport seats (leather). The side bolsters on the drivers side are getting worn. I've also got a stain on the passenger seat that was there when I bought it and could never get it out. Talked with the service...

For G Winter, the wheels I have are the optional ones for 88 and they then became standard on the 89. They were used only for 2 years so at least I can tell the year when I see one. As much as I want a newer one, I'm finding that my 88 is becoming something of a rarity. Out of about 100...

I also like the banner. And like Derek I seem to have a twin to his and the one on the banner. Ron "Baldie88"

Went to Eureka Springs last week and darn if there weren't 4 silver or pewter cars in front of my beautiful Bright Red C4. I told them I got terrible gas mileage since I had to push them all the way (they put me at the tail-end of the caravan for some reason). I honked my horn when I went...
