    I'm looking for an original or high quality reproduction trunk mat for a turquois corvette. It is vin number 8026 and all of the ones I see are for vin number 4800 or less or a power roof. Any help finding the mat or a dealer who may have one would be greatly appreciated. Scott

    Small engine fire

    Near the end of June I started my 1960 up to take it back to work and had a bit of difficulty starting the car. Once started I heard a pop that sounded like an electrical short and the car died. I then noticed smoke coming out the exhaust and then the hood and then there were flames. Even...

    Car Stalling

    My 1960 283/245 2x4 engine has developed an annoying habit of stalling when I start it up after it has been run for a while and then allowed to cool down.

    Brake light problems on 1960

    I have an intermittent and extremely annoying problem with the brake lights on my 1960. One or the other seems to not work almost all of the time. I say almost because there are times that they both work. Right now (at least the last time I drove it before winter reappeared) the driver side...

    Air Cleaner for 1960

    As seems to be the case teh last couple of winters I have had my 1960 Turquois vette in the shop for various repairs and maintainence. One of the projects that was done this past winter was to have the carburators rebuilt and "brightened up". Which is akin to chroming in process but doesn't...

    Rebuilding Carburetors

    I have a 1960 283/245 with 2x4 carburetors that need to be rebuilt. Before anyone suggests it there is no way on this green earth that I can do it myself. That being said what can I expect to pay to have this done? When it is done what should the car idle at cold and warmed up? It presently...

    I am looking at purchasing another 1960 Corvette. The car is a survivor with all of the paper work. It has one other owner and less than 100K original miles on it. It has the original paint and all of the numbers match. The owner is asking $50K for the car. What does everyone think of that...
