    Corvette Depot

    Has anyone ordered from Corvette depot lately? I just placed a large order to redo both interiors on my 68 and 71 and everything is backordered and due dates for arrival are in Feb. Is this just the normal for them? Just wondering if I should wait for everything to come in before taking them...

    C3 Natural Art

    Saw this on the weekend, not how we want to see any C3's end up, but its almost art at this point. Poor car, the frame is underneath it for the most part. but the metal is returning to the earth. I guess this is why we all worry about the bird cage rotting out

    Headers/sidepipes

    I've had hooker side pipes forever now. When I drive my other C3 that has a stock exhaust it just isn't the same excitement. Yes you need to be careful but its worth it. Besides those who have burned or felt the heat, will never do it again. As for the noise, nothing better then it...best music...

    Featured Found my Build sheet

    I was replacing my headlight switch in my 71 and tucked around the headlight switch was the build sheet. Its a little worse for wear as it was just a ball of paper and brittle as I flattened it carefully, but cool to find!!

    Corvette mechanic GTA

    Ed at ES Automotive in Newmarket. Fantastic service. He only works on muscle cars and C3 vettes are always there. He knows his stuff and his staff is very good.

    Isn't this the place to share such info so we can all order our next cars with exactly what options are available to make them ours? I'm not sure why GM would not be sharing this info, is it top secret ?? Nic

    71 coupe

    Happy Easter everyone, I've had some time to look the car over and its getting close to trying to fire it, I've put some sea foam deep creep down each cylinder and let it soak, I'm going to prime the oil pump then going to try to start it in the next week or so. I got a bore scope and looked...

    71 coupe

    Update, After 4 months of on and off with the sale as the owner was having a hard time letting go of it after owning it 28 years, I got it home late last night in my garage, now the fun begins to make it run again. Nic

    71 coupe

    Thanks for all the good tips, I'm going to do my best to work out a deal with them, but I do want to look it over a bit more. the owners aren't sure what they want for it and I don't want to insult them, but I've got a bit of an idea of what it is worth, so I'll cross my fingers. If anyone else...

    71 coupe

    Good morning all, I have found a 71 coupe, 350(270hp), 350 trans that has been parked in a garage since mid 90's. Looks ok as far as paint, was a good driver at the time it was parked, doesn't appear to have any frame damage, but I am going to re look at this this weekend again. No attempt to...
