I am selling my 1970 Monza Red coupe that I have owned for 14 years. It is highly optioned from the factory with a 350/300 HP engine, A/C, PW, PB, Auto, Deluxe Black leather interior, AM FM Stereo radio, PO2 hubcaps. Numbers are matching except for the alternator. Asking $25K Contact Tony @...

Your question may not have an answer. The ability to tell a fake from a real big block depends on how many mistakes the person faking the car makes and the quality of the forgery. Now to tell whether a car is real is even harder. If they do a good enough job they can fool even the most...

How old is your mechanic? He obviously has no knowledge of the workings of a distributor. I would be very concerned about any advice that he gives. Vaccum advance is basic mechanics 101. I agree with the other posters find a new mechanic.

It looks like the value of a UNLV education has not suffered in recent years.

Have it repainted and deduct the cost from the bill for the fence. Don't tll the guiy until he finishes the fence and bils you. Otherwise he will never finish the fence.

Congratulations on your "new" vette. You are on the right track. Clean her up, replace all fluids, including the brake fluid, tune her up and drive her. There is nothing that you will have to do to that car that hasn't been done before and documented on this forum or one of many others on...

New foam can create the problem you spoke about. I am 6'1" and when I replaced the seat foam the top of my head hit the roof. It is now 4 years later and things are a little better. If I put a baseball cap on the little button on top hits the TTop liner every time I hit a bump. There is not...

Numbers matching has many meanings to many people but a factory warranty replacement block does not meet any of those criteria.

Check the archives. This topic has been discussed many times. When I replaced the carpet in my 70 I purchased a foil insulation from Lowes called I believe Dynamat and it was easy to install and made a big difference in the temp's inside the car. It is not factory correct but it works better...

Belated Birthday greetings. That is one fine 69. My 70 turns 39 on 12/29. Where has the time gone!!

I replaced my shocks about 5 years ago and I went with Delco Reatecs because they are a service replacement for the originals. They are close in appearance and I am satisfied with their performance. My car is a pleasure driver so track performance was not an issue. I also replaced the...

What I do is drive up on the ramps then jack up the rear and place them on a second set of ramps. If I need to remove a wheel I jack up the wheel and remove the tire leaving it on a jack stand. I had to buy a set of low ramps because my vette would not clear the set of ramps that I had...

Based on what you have written it is impossible to tell what you have and how long you can leave it without touching it. You can ignore it and keep on doing what you are currently doing with the car. If the rust is minor and just surface you probably have 10-12 years before it becomes and...

What you have described is certainly not enough to part out the car. You need to dig deeper and see exactly what you have before you do anything.

Your question has many answers. There were many engines offered during the period that you describe such as 327, 427, 350, 454, LT1. Most came with points distributors but some such as the LT1 came with electronic ignition. This was later adapted into some of the other engines like the L88...

I was able to remove mine without cutting them. Tap them out from underneath with a tap and a small hammer. There is little there that you can hurt so bang away. I nicked up some paint but ib that area I really didn't care as it was easy to touch uo and not seen usually. Tap the pins out...

To Quote Dark Shark "My best experiences have been with mom and pop style small business dealerships. I don't need a service department- I do my own repairs (mechanical, body, electric, etc). I want people who are honest and truthful. The desire to make a buck doesn't outweigh integrity." If...

Taking your Corvette to a new car dealer is a mistake. Unless your dealer is a collector they will have no idea what your car is worth. As far as they are concerned it is a nice looking 30 year old car. The new Corvette is a bargain when sold at sticker price. It is a world class...

A bank check is no better than a personal check. If accepted you need to wait for it to clear. If it is a foreign bank it could take 2-3 weeks. If the buyer is willing to wait then I see no problem. I am willing to bet that they do not want to wait. As previously mentioned the scam is...

I agree with Mickey find another source of information. Better yet look at a 68 Coup. the middle support is obvious in any photo's you see. And besides that what is the difference whether it is a T Top or a Targa top? They are what they are just take them off and let the wind hit you in the face.
