I have a project which requires identifying Corvette years. I'm looking for visual cues that can be used to determine the year of a given C7. For example, 1966 Corvettes have a "Corvette" script in the front left of the hood. No other year has it. Along those lines, is there any way to...

Is the front opening on the C6 Z06, there is what looks like an air intake, see photo.<br><br>I've been told that Z06 engine air does not really enter there, it is just a styling "feature"? True?

I am doing a "Corvette Spotter" project and have come to the C6. What, if any, exterior details differentiate the various C6 years? Different badges / emblems, the tail pipes, that sort of thing. I am mostly looking for external differences since this is a "Spotter's Guide" but interior will...

I am doing a "Corvette Spotter" project and have come to the C5. What, if any, exterior details differentiate the various C5 years? I am looking for badges or trim items that can conclusively determine a 1999 vs. ????. For example, in the case of the C2, we all know that a split rear window...

All: I'm working on a Spotters Guide feature for my "Corvette Story" web site. Currently I'm working on the chrome bumper C3s and I have it mostly figured out EXCEPT how to visually determine the difference between a 1970 and 1972 'vette. Both have the eggcrate grill on the front and the front...

I was just asked about the cooling system of the ZR-1. The questioner pointed out an article where a "reverse-flow hybrid cooling system;" was listed as a engine specification. The article is dated February 1988, so it was discussing the 1989 ZR-1 which never made it to production. The ZR-1...
