    How do you insure your corvette?

    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...

    Value of a number-matching engine?

    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...

    How much to cut off front springs?

    Please have a look at the picture. I think the ride is too high on my 69. I am planning to cut off about one coil, at the bottom of the spring (lower a-arm end). This should still fit in the pocket, correct? Anyone done this? How much drop will I see? How can I tell if the spring is...

    Best place to buy TT II's?

    Where is the best place to buy a wheel/ tire package with the American Racing TTII's? I looked on Tire Rack and Discount Tire Direct, and they don't seem to carry them? I'm trying to price 17" TTII's with 255/50/17's.

    '69 seats uncomfortable- what else will fit?

    Has anyone replaced their seats in an early C3? I want something with some support. I like the C4 and C5 seats, but I'm not sure what I will run into trying to buy and install them. Any suggestions or photos? Thanks.

    1969 money pit - What is that noise?

    Well, after a full frame-off, I expected to be driving my 69 convertible all the time. That's what I built it for. Not so. It has an intermittent noise in the tranny/ clutch that sounds like a squealing/ rattling of bearings or something. It usually happens when I have the clutch depressed...

    Vortech heads or machine work?

    I am a new member to the forum and I have a 69 convertible 355, 4 sp. It is sidelined by a valve guide right now. My mechanic said I'm lucky I didn't drop a valve, so the heads are coming off. I have read that the Vortech heads are really great for torque. I am very interested in getting...
