I survived ...

... I got a Top Flight, but I'm not sure how strong it was—in other words how close it was to the required 94%. That knowledge will come in a couple of weeks when I get the judging sheets back.



Well, congratulations on your Top Flight Award, well done John!
Welcome back.

Couple more things

Try Precision Brakes in Florida, he is THE MAN for all your brake issues! These should have the O rings? Go stainless. If they are the original calipers they are dated to the car.

Dump the fuel completely, why risk the damage?

The mold should clean up easily. Simple green...

I am going to keep these ORIGINAL brakes. I know they are old, but they are right and I am marketing this as NCRS survivor friendly.

Otherwise, I agree with your assessment 100%.

There isn't much fuel, 1/3rd of a tank, and dealing with disposal here in CA is a pain, so I will do this: Add the Techron, then fill it with good premium. Happy balance... 15 gallons of good fuel should go a long way, vs trying to make sense with disposal. I have enough jerry cans to do this.

And once I determined the seats were vinyl, I was going to hit with simple green and STP Son of a Gun and that was that.

Next question, what is the right waxing process for this vintage paint? I know it will never shine like modern, but do I want to take the dull off.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!


Precision will rebuild YOUR calipers and send them back!

Big error......! Some become quite offended when mistaking the two! I'm not one of them. Really just helping clear up the combined wording you used, you probably knew this already.

NCRS has the Bowtie Award for original cars of that era.

Bloomington has trademarked the term "Survivor" and can technically only be used by them in relation to original Corvettes. The definition of this trademarked word has been changing. You'll have to visit their web site for the latest revision.....


As far as waxing, I'm still using old school Mothers Gold Carnauba. Lot of work but the old lacquer likes it.


Regards,

WB

Like me!

Sounds like a cool car! Low milage one owner, nice!

I'll take shot at your questions.
1. Side posts batteries began prior to 71, 68 and 69 up to vin. 22,081 have top posts.

2. Decal plate on these cars more so called Trim tag can be found on the drivers door jamb. Silver plate riveted to the jamb. This will give you the build date exterior color and interior color/and fabric. Another source is the POP, another silver credit card object, that lists the codes for the transmission, rear differential,etc. This can be found on the warranty booklet, if you're lucky enough to find it! Of course the window sticker, and build sheet mentioned earlier.

3. Tires looks like this one has been answered. F 70-15

4. One you didn't ask but I'll tell ya! lol
Starting in 72 the engine size was indicated in the vin. number. It's the fifth digit.
Base motor should read "K" , LT-1 reads "L" Big block 454 reads "W".

Best regards,

WB


1. I didn't realize side posts have been around that long.

2. Found the trim TAG! Perfect condition, too! Hope the rest comes... The Original Owner was very detail oriented about keeping paperwork.

3. Yea... It has some Cornell all seasons on it... I am scared...

4. I found the engine code, thanks to the black book, but thanks again!



So, you saying I'm too late and you got your answers? lol

What's a side post?

Nice car! Had one just like it once. Is that a 71 or 72? I should be able to tell by looking at it. Welcome to the site.
