The Last Unrestored Triple Black 1969 Corvette L71
Josh From Reader Jonathan H – So it’s kind of a long story but here goes… I had a Corvette Coupe and I was cleaning the engine compartment one day when I found a metal ID tag on the radiator from a radiator shop in Saginaw Michigan. I called the shop to see if they remembered working on the car and if they knew who the owner was back then. They gave me the owners...Wait—A C3 Corvette Slammed into Someone’s Garage?

Jan 20, 2023 The 1969 Chevrolet ZL-1 Corvette enjoys a mythical status among production Corvettes. The selection of the RPO ZL-1 option more than doubled the price of a new Corvette, and for that amount the buyer received a 560-horsepower derivative of the all-aluminum CanAm racing engine delivered in a street-legal, factory-built production car. GM documents on file verify that only two so-equipped cars were produced at the St. Louis assembly plant and delivered...1963-1982 Corvette Body Mount Replacement Part 1
by John Pfanstiehl There are only 8 body mounts on 1963-1982 Corvettes so replacing them doesn’t sound daunting. If a Corvette has led a truly dry, garaged life, body mount replacement is straightforward. However, most Corvettes 40 plus years old have accumulated a bit of corrosion on their steel components. Particularly affected are the parts and fasteners that often suffer rain and road splash. That’s where this series of three tech articles comes in....Corvette Passion And Performance – Wheels TV

Rare VHS rip of a generic Corvette documentary.A Look At The Three Corvette Assembly Plants
Jim Smart EditorJul 29, 2019 In 1953, who would have believed that an American automaker—known more for great styling rather than road-going, canyon-cutting performance—would give the world an exciting two-seat sports car. American automakers in the post war period introduced fresh and exciting models erected on new underpinnings with updated sheetmetal and creature comforts. In the early 1950s, Chevrolet had its eye on building a fierce competitor to European sports cars. European sports cars were enjoying...

By Richard Lentinello from September 2020 issue of Hemmings Motor News One of the most stylish Corvette models ever produced was the third version of the third-generation model built from 1978 to 1982.

Beneath their fiberglass skin, they were essentially carbon copies of the previous, 1968-’77 models....These three see-through Corvettes hold significant parts of Chevy history
By Jim Koscs on Jan 6th, 2021 at 9:00 am The unmistakable sound of a Chevy big-block through Corvette exhausts would not stand out as unusual at a New York Chevy dealer’s Corvette show. But when a few showgoers turned their heads to glance at the “car” they heard approaching the event back in 1990, eyes popped and jaws dropped.“It’s not a car! It’s just a chassis – with a guy driving it!”The “car,” which was wearing...12
