    The "short" list from the last 1.5 years...

    Pictures... we need pictures. You can't just talk about all that cool stuff and now show us pictures. Sounds like a great list. How does it all run?

    Corvette Enthusiast Price Guide

    Either way, it still says the value of my car is way more then I paid for it. I'm not really thinking about selling it, but at times it can be tempting. Overall I have not seen the prices drop to dramatically. B-J prices are of course way too high. But that is what you get when you hace car...

    Track Weekend-> 4th Round. NEW #'s and MORE

    Computer huh? Computer? You sayin' that Corvettes have some sort of brain in them? Don't believe it ;LOLJust imagine when you push on the gas pedal that it isn't actually connected to the throttle anymore, it'll all be electronic (oh wait, they already did that for 2005) :eyerole

    Traitor....

    I personally like having the excuse of not being able to haul around people or objects larger then the "crawl" space in the back of the Corvette.

    Traitor....

    What are you trying to say? Not enough room in the back of the Corvette for the grandkids? :D I guess I just don't understand as I don't even have kids :W

    Traitor....

    Sounds like you are trying to get out of the car what you put into it. Which is a lot of time what a lot of people do. However, that doesn't always work out. You have a great looking car with some good style to it. I am guessing the engine bay is as clean as the outside? If you are looking...

    1979 Speedometer and Tachometer Removal,and Fuse Diagram

    First and foremost... Welcome to the CAC. There is a lot of information on this website to help you out. Try doing a search first on some of your key words. Also, what would be of the most help I believe to you now would be a shop manual of some sort. I am not sure how much detail it would...

    Windshield Wipers!

    Don't worry, someone will be along with some help on your particular year. Try doing a search on windshield wipers... there have been many questions on them as they tend to be one of the problems that arise a lot. However, if I am correct, the problem is not too difficult to fix on your own.

    Great C3 find!

    What I was waiting to hear while reading the story was that he gave the lady an estimate on her house of $7,999. Then she turned around and asked for $8k out of him. Sounds like a fair trade right?

    Secret VIN location

    I would agree with Whisperer, why give those kind of people an easy opportunity like that. Since this website is free for anyone to browse. If anyone wants to tell, just send him a Private Message.

    89 not Starting!

    When you say the plugs are wet... do you mean like water wet or oil wet? What color is this wettness? Also what color (if any) is it? I'm not sure I know what the problem is, but just trying to get a little more information to help out.

    Vibration

    From what you have told us it sounds like it has to be coming from the drive shaft. If you can put the car in neutral and rev the engine and not feel the vibration it isn't the engine, also, while in neutral the vibration goes away that means that the wheels and wheel bearings are ruled out...

    Vibration

    Is it like a pulsing vibration. Like going over rumble strips before a construction site? Or is it more a constant vibration? Also, if the vibration goes away with the car in neutral but still going at speed then I would not suspect the tires either.

    if it wasn't for bad luck................

    I'm sorry to hear about your luck too Barry. You could still save the first drive for yourself. Push her up on a trailer and get her home that way. Then when the time is ready, you will be the first to let her run.

    heard at Mid Ohio

    Slow Track? Are you saying your coupe couldn't keep up with the lead pack? I find that hard to believe:D Whatever you do, do post some of those pictures up somewhere so we here at the CAC can see them. Sounds like it would be quite a sight. Did anyone do any high revs ;)? Or just a simple...

    No Wave

    The Vette Wave Tell your daughter it is not the Vette's fault that it did not wave back. The drivers synapses were not all firing :L (like spark plug wires).

    Sounds good to me. Any pictures of the parade lap? Hope the good news keeps coming.

    Frersh Wash, No Start. WTF?!

    How do the cables on the battery look? Any corrosion? They might need a good cleaning.

    New Ferrari 600 looks like Corvette(s)

    Well, there are only soo many things you can do to a car to make it look different. After all, they all have a windshield, four wheels, a nose and a tail. The side view looks the closest to me. :beer There are still some differences. Looks like the rear wheel air intake is in the door.
