Cool, I think since there is no trim tag left on the car, Im going to the factory green, and keeping the (mostly) tan/md saddle interior. One longshot option is to drop the tank and hope there is a build sheet on it - wouldnt that include original set-up? She runs good and I'd have no issues...

Jeff, great looking car. Based on the pictures, how bad is the surface rust situation on my frame and what should be done address this ... short of a frame-off resto. More bad news ... I was looking for the trim tag - in the driver door jam, near hinges under windsheild pillar ... i found...

Thanks Mike, I bought the car 4-5 years ago and just kept up with the maintenance and kept it running. Like i said, trans rebuilt - because it really needed it, and the brakes replaced (master, booster, lines, calipers, hoses, rotors, and pads!). Now I want to start tackling it the right...

Dear Experts; I have finally graduated and landed a great job - and in turn making more money. Which now mwans i want to spend it all on my baby ... no not the wife, the corvette! Here are all of my pictures : http://s206.photobucket.com/albums/bb193/kridgleyud/ My task now is ... where...

yes, it also rolls backwards any idea how hard this gear is to get to? or whats involved in fixing it? Can it be fixed by dropping the pan? ... oh yea - its a th-400 if its different than the th-350 in this regards. Im doing a crate motor swap hopefully soon so I guess if its a costly...

Hello all, Bit of a problem ... When i shift my trans into park, I feel the car slowly roll forward like all automatic cars, except instead of stopping it clicks and keeps rolling. From my understanding, there is a parking gear, or paw that engages to keep the car still? What are the...

guy at trans shop seems to think the tach is off by 1500-2000 - makes sense because under full throttle from 1-2 and 2-3 the shift point is about 7000, which used to be around 4200-4700 and the tach doesnt settle back to zero anymore. so now if it is off by 2000, cruise rpm at 70mph would be...

hello all, quick question ... has anyone every made a 68-72 stingray clone out of a newer style 73-77? I know that the 'soft bumpers' are not teh most desireable out there so i was thinking and though someone somewhere had to have made a chrome bumper clone ... thoughts? Kev

ok, it def shifts into third, even made sure my shifting 1-2-d. so now could it maybe be the converter not locking up? thoughts ... Going to give the trans shop a call and let them know whats up - good thing theres a warranty. Kev

looking into stuck in second gear ... it was just rebuilt and looking at the bill - they put on an adjustable modulator ... no kickdown on this trans? Would it need to be adjusted? unfortunately i cant drive just this minute ... but will confirm that in a few hours. Kev

hello all, I just had my trans rebuilt (turbo 400) and this was the first time driving it to work (mostly down I-95). I noticed the engine rpm to be very high for the speeds. I was reading almost 4000 at only 70mph. I have basically stock 75 with 3.08 gears i believe. Last summer I recall...

hey all, I am finally registered/ insured/ and tagged as an antique auto in DE. This means I do not have another inspection!! I was going to re-do the exhaust on the car. I am most familiar with just putting on long tubes, 2.5 inch with H-pipe to some flowmaster 40's ... but i found this...

no, not all of the dash parts, sorry - i have a new guage cluster/center console from ecklers with a CD player installed ... what i was getting at is just the upper dash . not the guages or map pocket or anything. The dash is the worst part and was going to get a new one rather than repair...

Hello all, as winter is approaching I am lookin ahead to redoing th einterior of my 75 ... the worst part of the car. I did the seats and covers, now i want to do the dash, so it all matches and maybe a new color for the carpet ... but anyway - will a 77 dash fit into a 75? I found a good...

Hey, I do still want this as a driver, not looking for anything to tear up the local drag strip - just something to show that its still a vette. But as i driver .. not daily of course, just something to drive when the weathers good ... 5-6 months of year around here. As I understand the stock...

Yep, true duals - its an L82, and an automatic with 3.08 gears. not sure about a budget - just looking to take the opportunity to get ird of the 75 power while rebuidling the 350, but if i had to put a value to it it i would say ... 4k.

hello all, I am finally getting around to pulling the basically stock 350 from my 75 and I am going to rebuild it, well ... my dad and I will. I am looking for advice as to what you all think I can do to pick up extra power in the rebuild. Already figuring on boring 30 over, this will...

Hello all Been thinking, I have a 1975 corvette L-82 that needs body work - not worried about numbers matching or anything. I'm a big fan of the chrome bumpers of pre 73, any ideas or thoughts on fitting them to a 75? How well do the parts interchange? Maybe someone with both styles could be...

I dont mind the hours so much as making sure the car's ok - to me the trip is sure worth the 10 hours or so. Just need caffine and the right music.

Hey all, Im from Delaware, but working in Maine for the summer until the University starts back up again. I REALLY miss the vette. My question to all of you, is how many of you take your vettes on long road trips? Im planning on returning to Maine at points throughout the year, I've made...
