Looks like George Barris --the Forgotten Years ! The only movie I could see THAT car in is a Porno ! CQRT

I've had good success using DuPont white enamel polishing compound-- and do it mostly by hand so as not to cut too deeply into clearcoat finishes. For rougher spots,there's also a rubbing compound with greater grit. Then use a good carnuba wax and rub it in well-- I generally use a simple...

I'm told that the seats we put in our 74 are from an 81/82 -- I wanted something with greater lateral/side bolster support- - the pleats in both the back and seat bottom are two inches. Regards- CQRT in AZ

Thanks Mikey-- enjoyed that. It might be a bit over the top, but hey, I asked! And I respect the answer.

You seem pretty adamant in your belief Mikey-- are you an engineering-type that would render your opinion better informed, or are you just out to see what kind of discord you can stir up on a seemingly innocuous subject? You seem to want to criticize the fellow simply for not blindly agreeing...

Best guess is outer spindle bearings?? You're generally right to check the 'wobble factor' but I think that's relative... If it gets faster and louder with increased speed, that's my vote. And a word of caution - -don't drive it very far, or very fast! CQRT

Greetings from AZ: I recall an article recently - -I believe in Vette Vues-- that showed a tank that had been compressed inward because of a faulty venting system and accordingly, the capacity greatly reduced. It was not apparent from underneath, but the top of the tank was "sucked down" by the...

Actually, I thought the 74 had a small chrome-- driver's side only - -right side was a dealer-installed option and the larger, rectangular chrome mirror came in 75. Regardless, the only form of remote control was sticking your arm out the window ! CQRT in AZ

If it's original . . . If it's an original 68 small block, isn't it going to have a 327/300 in it ?? CQRT in AZ

Ecklers, Mid America Corvette and Corvette Central just to name 3-- any of the Corvette supply shops have a variety of original style decals for everything from air cleaners, to valve covers to door jambs... And each of them will send you a catalogue as well in addiiton to their on-line...

that is to say, they don't appear to match up - - black exterior is code 19, silver gray leather is 132 - - don't see a 131 . . There seem to be a number of sites if you use Google as your search, and simply type in "1982 Corvette Trim Codes" . .there's a ton os stuff ! Good luck CQRT in AZ

Here's a link to a website that seems to have significant detail on 82's... although sorry to say, the codes you've indicated here to match up . . Good luck ! CQRT in AZ http://100megsfree4.com/corvette/1980/vet82.htm

AZ CARS Hey Tex: Within the E-bay Corvette listings, search using Phoenix as "home" . . .you can also search "www.traderonline" and designate Arizona as the filter. There's an unusual copper colored 82 in Kingman, AZ near Lake Havasu that looks interesting on E-Bay too. Also, try Chev's &...

Whoa there, Tex ! Marc: There are several E-Bay links to inspection services--ditto in Vette Vues and Hemmings that will be less expensive that you winging it to Tampa. I'd also think that virtually every buyer of the E-Bay seller should have been satisfied with their transaction--remember...

Patience is a virtue . . Howdy Tex ! Sorry- always wanted to do that . . Anyway, it's not a bad looking car at all, but did you read the seller's feedback ?? He seems to have a real mixed bag of people who experienced questionable transactions. I bought our 74 Corvette in Tulsa, but had a...

Alarms/ Recovery systems Here in Arizona-- the NUMBER ONE car theft state in the nation-- the idea is to prevent the theft with pedal/steering wheel systems, interlock and battery cut-offs. I also put LOJACK on our cars-- although wife's car has a factory-offered version of the same from...

Same part # I have what appears to be the same master cylinder number on my 74 Coupe which is also a 9/73 production car. Man, it's hard to read upside down ! CQRT in AZ

Drop the tank Bill: The only way I know how to do it is to drain the tank, then drop it out to be able to access the fittings on the top. While you're at it, you way want to consider having the tank cleaned- then paint the exterior before re-installing with new fittings and lines. The added...

GO FOR IT ! Mike: Sounds like youv'e done a fairly thorough assessment of the car and although it's not a steal, it sounds like it could well be worth it pending an independent mechanical review. Apart from bushings and brakes, you're looking in all the right areas to consider for a first...

Harker Hts PD Harker Hts PD telephone non-emergency telephone number is 254-699-7600. If you think it's questionable, call `em. If not, I'm sure any observations or assistance will be appreciated. Most of the state folks are probably on vacation or too busy.. plus it's always better if you can...
