Great news Mike!

Like Mike, I've been AWOL for some time from the forum, but my Vette is still fine, just been busy with other things. Bumped into 7T2Vette at the Ajax car show (every Sat. night at Cdn. Tire),...

Nice car!

Mark, looks like a beauty!! Congratulations!! Owning a black car (not my Vette, the daily driver) can be a pain, but almost any car looks good in black.
Especially a 2003 C5 Convertible, with black...

I've had mine out off and on. Needed a new surge tank (Dewitt's shipped it in a day!). Oil changed. Now I just need to wash it...which I will do tomorrow!

I just replaced the surge tank on my '68 which would be identical to your '69. You will have a hose coming in from the water pump at the bottom and one exiting going to the heater. At the top you'll...

I think the real "speed warning" (not counting police sirens) was an option on the early C3's that would buzz when you hit a speed that you preset. My car doesn't have it and don't have my black book...

I do work in insurance (in Canada) and am well aware that courts will interpret any ambiguity in the policy language in favour of the Insured. At least they do so here in Ontario. "In use" is a very...

Agree....of course, there is NOM and NOM. One can mean any engine other than the original. For example, replacing a 427/435HP engine with a 454 truck motor is not the same as replacing with a...

As one can tell by my forum name....I'm partial to '68's also. Some of the one year only stuff can be annoying, but it helps differentiate the car. A '68 can be easily identified due to the number of...

Although I have a C3, it's a '68 and has the L79 engine as noted in my sig. I've also driven the 300hp version of the 327 with the M20 and 3.36 gears. In all honesty? But for the odd time I "nail it"...

I haven't been on here much over the last few months. Gotta say I love, ahem, Paul Borowski's avatar! That said, when I went looking for a Vette, I only looked at '68-'72 Vert's. Nothing wrong with...

Dewitt's does it again!

About a year ago, I bought a Dewitt's factory replacement style rad for my'68 327 Vette. Great rad....can't say enough about it. The rad it replaced was an older brass generic fit style that just...

I agree...if you don't mind it not being 100% stock in terms of appearance, the foam works fine. That's what I have.

I've had the Pertronix set up for over 4 years and likely 12000 miles if not more. Also have the Pertronix coil. Nice to keep the tach drive distributor. I've had no trouble at all with it.

Sounds like a very nice car. A lot cheaper to buy one all done up than to pour your own money into a full restoration. His loss = your gain!

The more '68's on here, the better, in my opinion!! If...
