    Happy 427 day!

    Thanks for sharing that article, it’s amazing how we can always learn something new about these cars. Also interesting was the reference to a potential rear or mid engined car, and how it was viewed back then!! Cheers, “The tightness around the hips, elbows and shoulders is caused by the width...

    The Tariff Thread

    Just read about the same guy on a CBC article, but something doesn't quite add up. The gentleman is 77 years of age, which means he was born is 1948. The article claims he owned a similar model (68 charger)when he was 17, which would be 1965 or 1966. Maybe just an honest mistake, I was born in...

    The Tariff Thread

    I'm assuming ditto for parts as well, huge impact for anyone undergoing restoration projects.

    Clock for C2

    Hi collisemj, If you haven't already done so, the clock will need to be removed from the dash in order to remove the bezel. The bezel is set into the sheet metal housing behind it in the clock assembly, with 6 pins on the backside of the bezel that fit into the corresponding holes of the...

    Question C2Battery ??

    Hi Vince, I don't have an AC car but I can share my battery dimension info for comparison and hopefully that will be helpful to you. All C2s used Group 24 size batteries. I still have (for reasons unknown even to myself!) the old Delco E5000 R59 that came with my car. I just measured it at 6...

    Back on the road.... where it belongs..

    Hi Stephane, I'm sure you spotted the fountain at the lake in front of the old presbytery!! Looking forward to meeting you. Went through the inspection, now I have an appointment next week for alignment with Andre in St-Hubert, then I can start putting some mileage on it. I'll be in touch. Cheers

    Back on the road.... where it belongs..

    Thanks John, Have to say, when I first joined this forum, you were in the process of your restoration, 67 siblings! So you were a great source of motivation and help as well, especially sourcing those rare parts!! Cheers Luke

    Wow, looking forward to seeing it finished.... And I'm sure you are thinking.. me too bud.. me too!! Even though it's probably taking longer than you expected (like me!) I bet you are really enjoying seeing it come together. Hang in there and take pleasure in the progress and achievements as...

    Back on the road.... where it belongs..

    I'm always amazed at the endless catalog of phenomenal pictures you (and others on your thread) unearth! Quebec introduced custom plates a few ago so fairly recent pic, but I don't recognize. There is a local 63-67 Stingray club but it stopped the outings a few years back, but I don't remember...

    Back on the road.... where it belongs..

    Big week for me, finally got my car back on the road!! What started off as wanting to return to car to its original color ended up with me tearing everything apart. And four years later, here we are! I have attached a some pics that shows before and after. I am thrilled with the results and...

    Hello, Just bought this car at auction in winnipeg and was wondering if anyone knows its history.

    Beautiful looking car, my favorite Corvette front grill!! Car looks to be in great shape. I do agree with Kerrmudgeon on swap for more traditional wheel look, but that's just my preference. Go with what you like and enjoy the rides. That white and red gives your car a distinctive Canadian...

    A can of worms

    Hey Scott, Just a short word of encouragement towards your endeavor. As much as the surprises keep popping, looks like you can handle it and will be turning them into achievements that will give you lots of satisfaction. But it does sound like you will be spending quite a bit of time in the...

    Hesitation and Rough Idle?

    I would agree the most likely suspect is the carb. If the car has been stored with Ethanol, that old rochester will have paid the price. Since you are looking at the fuel system, you should also take the time to check the charcoal (vapor) canister. They do have limited life and you will...

    Radiator Upgrade

    Hi Prad, Zip Corvette lists radiator support for 350 with Auto or AC, but they are in the US. There are actually 2 listed, items M-4269 and M-2408B, with exactly the same decriptions but $100 difference in price, not sure what thats about. I'm not familiar enough with C3 but you would have to...
