Hi, now that I know HOW to start a new thread, look out! as I have a billion questions! I am having my 61 re-restored and I am the latest guy without a proper ID tag on the column. I so appreciate all the explanations, advice, tongue in cheek humor, suggestions. Back East who repros these and is located in Grand Junction, CO charges $195. for the tag. Guess one charges what the traffic will bear. Suppose I could get a state vin plate but I am thinking that maybe Back Easts which I believe is virtually undetectable from original (other than looking 'new' versus 45 years old) that even a picky judge woudln't spot. I like the idea of the access plate on the floor with a cover plate to be protected against a zealous policeman insisting upon 'verification'. Again, I would appreciate input on the pros and cons of the state supplied Vin sticker or whatever it is.
Todays question: my friend who is helping me knows lots about Corvettes-has restored about 50-and he stated that in 1961 a person could order a Corvette with either a hard top or convertible top or pay additional for the hardtop. I don't see any reference to this 'option' on the list of items to add to your car. I know the hardtop was an extra cost and about 1/2 of 1961s came with this. But the 'either or' business confuses me. What do the friendly experts have to say to this.thanks, Harland in CO.
