    Help! Inherited an '81 that's been sitting for 15 years.

    Looking for some guidance here, this poor neglected Vette is not in good shape. Its #5103337 in the registry. I don't know where to start. The brakes?, fuel system?, engine leaks oil, battery dead, AT who knows, tires are flat, interior needs 3 wishes from a genie in a bottle. I've got to get it...

    What are these Kelsey Hayes worth at auction?

    Two different sets of 15x8 Kelseys. One 4 rim set with caps, sans tires. One with some pretty good old Firestone GR70-15 QRZs but only one cap (pics not that great, wheels kinda dirty).

    M21 Close ratio transmission, etc.

    M21 Close ratio 4-speed transmission. 1973 - 3,704 made that year and a little more than 3/4 of the BBs had them. Good thing or bad thing? Is there anything special about this transmission? And the CV5 3.36B CARRIER?

    with zero bids @ $149.99. Ending in less than four hours from now (16:24 CST). Seller says 73-74 but the item is not chromed on front edges so it is not correct for a '73. Regardless, someone may want to get in on this...

    Pic request

    I'm looking for a nose shot of a '73 WITH a center grille. I would like to replace mine, which is messed up, but they seem hard to come by so a license plate frame may have to suffice. Pictures will help me. Any photos appreciated. TIA, KOP

    Repro door panels

    I am looking at buying repro door panels for the '73. Arm rests are shot and look pretty crummy. These are about all the interior needs to be looking pretty fine. I REALLY hate buying sight unseen though. I'm considering panels from Dr. Rebuild. Anyone care to share experiences with this or...

    They were talking 4k off sticker right away

    without even haggling. That puts it at about 57k I suppose. Making room for the '06s. He said the Z06 wouldn't arrive there until January. He was talking about guys offering 10-20k over sticker to get one. Crazy.. Includes most options I guess, including Z51. God I love these cars! I was ready...
