    1985 Corvette with 33k miles

    Here's an ad out of the local paper. I don't know the seller or the car and am only posting it here as an FYI for anyone who may be in the market for a used vette. Without seeing the condition of the car, and assuming the mileage is accurate, it seems like it could be pretty good deal. If...

    Poll - Storing Car Care Products

    Where you do store your car care products...In the garage or in the house? Although I would love to leave everything in the garage, I store my stuff in the house because I'm afraid that temperatures might fall too low in the winter to be good for the various waxes, polishes, wheel and engine...

    Anyone heard of ASC Waterpumps?

    The mechanic at the local corvette shop tells me that he normally uses ASC waterpumps for $75.49 (new - not reconditioned) instead of the AC Declo pumps for approximately $200.00. He says he's never had any problems with them. Does anyone here on the CAC have any experience with ASC...

    Calling all Mechanics - Need help!

    Here's my situation... Last winter, while my vette was tucked away in the garage, she developed a coolant leak. The strange thing is, it was nothing constant. I put her away and start her up every week or 2 until the oil temp gets up to 200 degrees. For the first few weeks, everything was...

    1990 ZR-1 For Sale - Dearborn, MI

    Hey guys and girls. Les Stanford has a 1990 ZR-1 with 33,000 miles for sale at $23,996. From all my experiences with them, the "Corvette King" salesmen are big time [insert choice of expletive here] - unless you just reek of money, that is. However, if anyone is interested in dealing with...

    What's a fair price for 1989 roadster?

    I'm thinking about putting my roadster up for sale. People say it's because of the baby on the way, but I insist that it's because I am going to move up to a '96 in the near future. I know the market isn't doing very well right now and so I don't know if the figure I have in my head is too...

    Factory Cassette Deck Repair???

    Does anyone out there know of a reputable company that can repair a defective factory cassette player in my '89 roadster? (The radio works fine, it's only the tape deck that's not working.) Thanks for any help you can give! -J.

    Tape player ain't working anymore!

    Strange...I'm driving around one day and the cassette deck is working just fine. Then the next day, I take the car out for a cruise and notice that when I put a tape in, the player automotically switches it to the other side (as if you were at the end of the tape)! I tried lots of tapes, and...

    Missing Screw on '89 roadster

    Before I try to call the local Chevy dealer tomorrow and explain which screw I need, I was wondering if anyone of you guys had some sort of diagram that would give a name or number for the screw in question. I had noticed a severe rattling noise recently, and figured that it from the hatch that...

    Advice wanted: Chrome Wheels

    The previous owner of my '89 roadster didnt' take very good care of the wheels. As a result, they don't look so hot. I recently found someone who was looking to sell a set of '89 wheels in very good condition (they only have a few thousand miles on them). Anyways... I'm thinking of buying...

    Steel Half Shafts

    In an earlier post, JT ZR-Won wrote "...It's an early car......#365 with the steel half shafts." I hope this question isn't considered as too simple, but I was just wondering what exactly are 'steel half shafts'? And I'm assuming that the later cars for that year had half shafts made of...

    Pure Torture!!! (And an '89 Roadster possibly For Sale...)

    Okay, I'm in a horribly tough situation. I've always wanted to own a '96 Collector's Edition Coupe - it's been a dream of mine for a while. As it turns out, I was finally able to purchase my '89 roadster a couple years back and only owe about $6k more on it. Anyways, I was sorting through...

    Hypertech Stage II Powerchips: Good or Bad?

    I was thinking of buying a Hypertech Stage II Powerchip for my '89 roadster. They supposedly do not put any extra wear and tear on the engine, but I'm not totally convinced. Any opinions either way? Also, Hypertech claims that as an added feature, the chip reprograms the 'torque converter...
