I have the body and # matching 427/390 engine from a 1969 coupe. The body is stripped of its interior and there is rust in the birdcage, but it is repairable. Have the rocker inserts and spare WS frame. I have the title to the car, the original 427/390 engine from intake to pan, and the body...

Mine is with TN Farmers Mutual (Farm Bureau). Yes, it is agreed value. I had to drive the car to the office and have it photographed for their appraiser, since it is an older car. After about a week, they called with a value I agreed with. Now I think I need to increase that amount due to...

How is your C3 insured? What do you pay per year? I have full coverage (liability, comprehensive, collision, up to an agreed value.) Cost is $408 per year. This company has all my vehicles, and home owners policy as well. I drive my car less than 2000 miles per year. Just curious what others...

The silver or silver blue both show off the body lines best. Metallic paint has a nice color effect on a curved panel. Dark colors hide the details, IMO.

Here's something I've not seen yet - How about ghost flames in the coves only?

The body lines of the 57 can't get any more gorgeous.

This is the same weekend as the Fall Corvette Expo in Knoxville. I have attended that for over eight years. Looks like the organizers would try to avoid times with another corvette event nearby to maximize attendance.

Here is the website. I received a flyer in the mail. http://www.nationalcorvettehomecoming.com/

Yes, but cars are sold every day as "correct", or "numbers matching" that are not the original. That is the real question. It is vague. People say "numbers matching" and it can mean casting numbers, the VIN stamp on the deck, date codes, alternators, carburetors, etc. It seems to me that a...

I like this explanation too. I thought about this last night, but I didn't look up which cylinder is #6?

Look inside the #6 intake port on the head. See if someone got too aggressive with a grinding tool while porting/ polishing the inlet on #6. It wouldn't show up on a compression test either. Maybe a crack in that area, or a tap sent too deep from previous machining. Just some ideas.

Looking for opinions, please. Background: My entire car was a basket case, which I completely rebuilt, frame-off, over 5 years. It is a 1969, originally 350/300 hp 4 spd. It was in such rough shape, it now has several incorrect pieces, including the engine (1968 327 block) and transmission...

Anybody planning to attend the Corvette Homecoming Event in Bowling Green August 12-14? Haven't seen much info on the forum about this. It is at the WKU Ag Center in Bowling Green.

Why not just get a crate engine? For your stated HP goal and minimal budget, here is a NEW, WARRANTED, 290 HP GM engine for $1700. Or a 330 HP for $2400. Hard to beat the performance for the money, even though I tried. I spent over $3500 in rebuilding my engine just because I wanted to say...

How about a "before" picture of your new car?

I cut the springs with a portable band saw. I cut off one full coil, but if I were doing it over, I would only cut about 3/4 coil. The only thing to watch is getting the coil seated again in the upper pocket, otherwise it is very straightforward. The wheels are 17", part #5057861 from...

I just did it on my 69 a month ago. I cut the front springs and got the longer rear bolts. New wheels and tires too. Here is the link. Hope this helps. http://corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67690

I'm interested in the Upper dash pad if black and not brittle or cracked. Also wiper door canister and linkage.

You don't need adapters for the TT2's if you buy the right part number. # 5057861. 17x8 with 4" backspace clear the calipers perfectly. I just bought mine with z rated Fuzion zri tires for $1700 total. Tires were about $110 each included in this total. I bought mine a local shop, but you...

Sure, but you wouldn't like my "buy it now" price, since I've dumped over $25K into it.
