    Can't edit signiture

    I can't seem to edit my sig pic- something goofy happened with it back when I first did it with my old '66 (double photo) and I can't get it changed to my '93 now. If one of the mods could help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks- Rich

    40th Anniversary New Ruby Owner

    Hey, by no means new to the site or Corvettes, but I sold my '66 a while back (and haven't posted much lately) and I just gave myself a nice Christmas present! On Saturday I did a long distance deal and bought a Ruby Red 40th with only 35,000 miles on the clock. It's in pretty nice shape...

    Got a "new" midyear

    Well, I sold my LT-1 last month, but instead of buying a ZR-1, I found this too tempting to resist. It has the original 340 hp engine, (heads, carb, starter) a T-10 4-speed, and a 3.70 rear out of a '67. Has had some front end repairs, but looks good. The car is supposed to be Sebring Silver...

    Pricing on a '66 Coupe

    I don't want this to sound like another "what's it worth" thread, but I've had someone inquiring about my '66, and the car has a couple of things to consider that aren't typical for a midyear. The first is the fact that it was SCCA roadraced for the first 3 years of it's life. (Personally, I...

    '71 LT-1 Convertible For Sale

    I have owned this car since 1993, but I'm getting the itch for a ZR-1. This is not a showcar/trailer queen, but an excellent driver. The car is Mille Miglia Red, with a white top, and black interior. It shows 98,674 miles, believed to be actual milage. All original body panels- car has never...

    '90 vs. '91 ZR1

    Over the next couple of weeks I will be looking at both a '90 and a '91 ZR1 for sale. Beside the body differences, is there any peculiarity or advantage/disadvantage to either year? Did '90s have any "bugs" that were worked out by the next model year? Or are they pretty much the same car...

    LT4 ZR1 or LT4?

    Hey guys- I have gotten the bug to get a C4. I've owned straight axle cars, midyears, and sharks, but nothing newer than an '81. I came close to buying a '93 Anniv. Edition a couple of years ago, but the deal fell through. Lately, I have been checking out '90-'92 ZR1s. Now I am getting...

    Which C4 to Buy?

    Pics with new wheels/story

    Finally got my Cragars with some BFG TAs installed on the car. I took the car to Traverse City over the holiday weekend and brought it to the Cherry Festival/Hagerty Insurance Auto Show. One of the previous owners of the car that I've become friends with saved me a parking spot. (The car was...

    What a weekend

    Trailered my '66 up to Traverse City this weekend (where the car was sold new) and hooked up with FOUR of the previous owners! Took it Friday to see owner # 4, he was grinning from ear to ear the whole time. Saturday took it to a Corvette show at the Homestead Resort in Glen Arbor, right on the...

    What to look at on a C-4 purchase

    While I am pretty familiar with solid axles, midyears, and sharks, I know next to nothing about the C-4 cars. I've been getting the bug lately, though, to venture into the '84-'96 series. I'm going to look at '94 LT-1 this weekend. I was hoping that those of you in the "know" could give me some...

    Elec. Q-jet help

    I've got my '81 going down the road pretty good now. Rides nice and lots of leaks fixed. I was getting a non-computer controlled Q-jet rebuilt to put on it, (along with a vac. advance distributor) but it didn't get done as fast as I hoped, so I bolted on the original carb. It surprisingly runs...

    U-joints. How good are yours?

    Just bought my '81 last fall, and the only miles I put on it were the 20 to get it home. It drove like crap, mostly due to bad tires. I have fixed several problems, and checked out several things, including driveshaft and halfshaft movement from underneath. I can never seem to find a bad u-joint...

    Got the '81 back together and running!

    I actually was waiting for an older style Q-Jet to be rebuilt and delivered, so I could ditch the computer controls, but then thought, what the heck! I had labored over the winter fixing all of Bubba's misdeeds, radiator and shroud back in, water pump and correct intake manifold back on. Then I...

    Distributor/balancer relationship

    When I took the cobbled up intake setup off my '81, I had bumped the distributor around so the rotor pointed to #1 for when I pulled it. I didn't see the timing mark on the balancer, but seeing as how "Bubba" didn't even install a timing pointer when he replaced the timing cover and balancer, I...

    Power steering cylinder question

    My '81's power steering cylinder was leaking right where the ram enters the cylinder. I thought that I would just install a new seal kit (9 bucks from NAPA) rather than spend $70 on a rebuilt unit or $150 on a new one. The only problem is, there is a slight groove (cylindrical) worn on the ram...
