Re: FOR SALE: '62 Powerglide Survivor-Type (weihemuller)

By the way, I do have room in the price for a serious Corvette buyer. I bought the car "right" and put about $5,000 in parts and labor in the car -- to fix all the little stuff. You can get in this...

Soft Top Repair

My '62 has a newer soft top on it, however, the rear seal that goes around the metal frame below the rear window has worked its way out. When I put the top up, I can "tuck" the black seal/weather...

Re: How-to tips for a tight C1 front end? (62fuelie)

Thanks Fuelie. I do have new BF Goodrich Touring TA's (205/70) on my 15x5" rims, and I also had the car professionally aligned after the tires were put on. I think I read about the roller bearings...

As '62 owner, I was wondering on how to get the best "feel" or a "tight" front end for my car. Any tricks on how to improve this? I've owned a couple of '72 Vettes and those cars drive great compared...

Re: '62 250hp to 340hp conversion (62fuelie)

Re: Crate motor vs. modify original motor? (SWCDuke)

Re: Crate motor vs. modify original motor? (SWCDuke)

Re: Rare '62? (ghostrider20)

Re: Rare '62? (62fuelie)
