no tags on door, does have a vin plate on windshield but highway dept says it is 1 number or letter wrong and they wont tell me which one! It is a 74 convertible l48 by the first 7 digits. No engine, how many numbers/letters should be on the frame behind the tire? and should it start with a 1?
vin number on frame
I just bought stolen and recovery 74, car been sitting 20plus years and trying to get all paperwork straight. the number on the frame behind driver wheel says 14s410, but the 1 before the 4 does not show up anywhere when I put decoder in online. says it should be a J, T, or...
I am going to replace my weather strip and wondering who has the best fittment and quality available. I am not not looking for cheaper price etc., I want the best. I am going to do t-tops, window seals, w/s frame, rear door upright seal and door rubber. Thanks
Changing the pedals in the car may be a very hard challenge. I have been upside down in the car today, several times looking at the pedal assy and I dont think it is going to be an easy task. if anyone has changed them in the car, lets hear about it. I have talked to several people that have...
I just reinstalled them again. Both sides are just not right. Just noticed each side has one split boss missing, and the rear screw hole is about 1/4" form the door hole. but that is not the problem. They have the window push in so far toward the insides, there is no way they will work. It...
Well, my car has 55,000 miles, been stored and not driven for the last 20 years in my garage. The original seals are about 1/8 thick, both sides front to back. The rubber is hard, but I thought it would be odd for both sides to be worn identical widths and both sides of the rubber are not...
I have purchased 2 new outer door window seals and they dont seem to fit. First, the split bosses on the seals that push into the chrome trim and door are tapered, my originals have indent on the bosses where they will snap in and lock, along with 2 screws, also the rubber that seals the door...
I cant wait to get mine converted to the manual trans. I have already "seat test drove it" with the 4 speed, meaning I have pretended it had the 4 speed in it! I love to look out through the windshield and look over the silouette of the fenders going through the gears, feeling the torque and...
That 82 CE is one bad corvette. All it takes is money:W As far as the pedal housing, I do know the pedal housing is the same. I have talked to several that has done the pedal swap in the car, and they all said it was very time consuming. I think I am going to try that route instead of the...
68-81 pedals will work, but 80-81 were smaller pedals. I just bought a shifter bracket off ebay, thought they would be hard to get, but they are several on there since I have been searching. I wish I could afford a 5 speed conversion, but the borg warner will have to do for now.
I did get in touch with canney, very helpful. He used his original crossmember. must be the same for auto and manual. He also said he used a universal joint from summit to adapt the auto drive shaft to the 4 speed. Also, the 80-81 cars do have different pedals! they are smaller because of the...
I have been wanting to do a 81 vert. conversion. I have searched many sites and still dont have a full knowledge of it before I begin:upthumbs. Are all 68-75 original parts the same? IE-Deck lids, hinges, latches, soft top frames and hard tops? Who sells the upper deck to fit the 81 style gas...
Hello everyone, what an awesome site. I am new here. I have a 81' auto, I am going to do a 4 or 5 speed swap. I have not bought any parts yet, wanting to get all the information right so I dont waste money. Is the auto and manual crossmember the same? If not, will a 69-early 70 direct bolt to...
