    saddle/saddle leather here too Read that the seams would begin to 'crack'. No structural problem but lot of customer complaints. Decided to leave the seams visible as a solution.

    Survey 63 vs 66

    66 was the zenith of the midyears I have a FI 63 coupe and look lovingly at the 66 models, especially the 427s. The 66 was the zenith of the mid year models. The best of the best!

    actually.... The primary reason deer have ridden on the hood of cars has been the law which requires a deer be transported in full view. A deer confined to a trunk would be considered evidence the deer was taken illegally or hidden to allow the hunter to take another deer in the days when the...

    don't ask how I know A nice deer like that will easily fit in the trunk of a 62. Might have to keep the bow and quiver in the passenger seat. Ever see a deer in the 'trunk' of a vdub? looks like the car is eating the deer with both ends hanging out. So you might justify the corvette as being...

    1962 Tech information: Improved Harmonic Balancer Attachment

    memo terminology fyi Interesting that the memo referred to "high performance engines" applications which would include the 300 hsp engine. Memo then goes on to say just the 340 and 360 engines which are 'special high performance'.

    Help! 59 c1 with / 58 parts ?? ???

    58 morph Lot of possibilities. Check the vin on the frame..... Look at stamped dates on the back of the gages. Door inside fiberglass may be different inside of trunk, exhaust shields glass vs metal? Without a doubt some 58s were updated to 59s way back when to get more $$$. These...

    61 hardtop

    Rear deck curve is different so you will have a big gap with a 56-60 top on a 61-62. I have seen earlier tops on a 61/62 but the gaps are huge and you need to modify the attaching points. Fits nice at the windshield. Good to get any hardtop at the right price as you can then make a trade for the...
