    2 questions for my C6 Z06 (parts to buy)

    I decided 2 years ago that I needed a backup camera in my C6Z. I had always been disappointed in the sound quality of the head unit, but as mentioned earlier the engine purr was all that mattered. I installed a Sony head AX5500 to get the camera, but was amazed how it improved the sound...

    Looking for some advise on what C6 to buy

    I purchased my 2006 C6 Z new and fortunately from a dealer who was a Corvette enthusiast (Bill Wallace) who did the valve/head repairs before he let me take it home. In the 20 years I have owned it, I have only replaced the battery once, two years ago. It still wears it's original tires...

    You in this category? Lol.

    I bought my first Vette in 1986 when I was 36 and have had at least one every year since. Up until the C8 the average age of a Vette buyer was late 40s, I expect for the reasons mentioned above, family grown and more disposable income, however the C8 introduction seemed to pique the interest of...

    C8 Z06 Insurance Cost

    I had the TAG tracker installed in my Denali last year for $400 at the local Speedy Autoglass. They hid 14 very tiny sensors in 14 different locations in my truck, and etched TAG on my windows. They claim a thief won't spend the amount of time it would take to locate all 14 and is therefore...

    Rare Chevy engines

    Yes, my '33 Lasalle (baby Cadillac) convert had a 353 cu. inch aluminum block V8, with a big 85 HP. Would cruise at 70 mph, and was first introduced in 1927. Also had a 5 position ride control feature with hydraulic shocks.

    Buying 1964 327 Coupe How much??

    Umpy is right, the frame where it bumps up over the rear wheels is the mid year Vettes Achilles Heel. 1964 is the least desireable of the mid year cars, 1963 had the split window, '65 disc brakes and a 396, and of course '66 and '67 with the 427. Having said that an appraisal is a must. I have a...

    Guess the car and year.

    1957 Buick is my best guess. Would be easier to tell from front as '57 had single headlights while '58 had double.

    Need Advice on a C2 (Investment?)

    The C2 weak area is usually rust out at the frame rear kick up. Is the car being sold certified or as is? If it is "as is" I would suggest you negotiate to take the car in for a safety before you put any money in the sellers hands, it has to be safetied before you can license for the road so...
