Mine looks about the same as yours, and I don't have any problems to speak of. Sure, I have to avoid going over speed bumps straight-on, but there is nothing that prevents me from driving it just about everywhere - and Arizona roads are no picnic...
   Yours looks great! I would leave it as is.

Window guide? Piece of cake. I just did one on my car. The part was $16 from the local GM dealer. I'll be in Anniston in two weeks. Want to have a vette day? Keep it. You'll be sorry if you let it go. If you need a reliable DD, buy an older Honda. They are fairly cheap, and run FOREVER!

I agree! Z peeps tend to be wound tighter that their LT5's at 7K!! There are a FEW exceptions, but very few...
...and, the noob made more sense than the "old guard". Notice how their attitudes changed when the new owner chimed in. It's only a car. Don't have a heart attack over it!!  P.S. - none of this is directed at you Ron. You are one of the good ones!

When something breaks/wears out, you can find the replacement part easily, and without breaking the bank.  P.S. - asking $23k, and getting it are two very different things... I think most "normal" LT4's SELL in the low teens.

I also tried going the mast replacement route. I actually took the antenna unit out and disassembled it, removed the 12"+ piece of ribbon still in there, reassembled it, put the new mast ribbon in, turned it on and presto - it would not work right. It started off well, but would not fully retract (same problem I had at the start). So, I took it all apart again, and cut off part of the new ribbon, and tried again - no better now. So I cut off a little more, no go. Now the ribbon was too short, and I was pissed, so I bought a new one from the dealer for ~$140 and trashed the $50 repair kit.
Live and learn I guess. I will NEVER do the repair route again. It wasn't wortht the time and frustration. Plus, I am pretty sure the new antenna will last as long as the old one, so I shouldn't have to worry about fixing it again... Sorry, I feel your pain!!!

Interchangeable Brake Parts - 2000 TA vs C5 |

I want to do the C5 brake conversion on my '94 and have access to a set of good calipers and abutment brackets from a 2000 TA. Does anyone know if they will work with the C5 adapters - the ones Jeff is going to be sending me any day now... ;-) I couldn't find a P/N anywhere on the brackets to do a search.
It sure would save me some $$ if this would work. Thanks!

Congrats! I can't belive you made your new bride get into, and out of, that car. It's hard enough in jeans; however, that would have been a picture worth framing...
All the best to you two.

All I have to contribute is to point out that there is a '73 for sale locally with 59K miles, and a numbers matching 454. Auto, PS, PB, A/C, T-Tops, Tilt-Tele. Factory yellow with tan interior. It has been for sale for months in the high teens. It's now at $17K and still there. I know the '73's are less valuable than the full chrome bumper years, but it should give you some idea on the value of a non-numbers, non-A/C car.
It's not worth your Z!!!!

Most of you jumped onto a list when I was still on the CF before I was banned. Well after being banned and not having any access to PM's, well, I had no names to go by. So can you put me on a new list? I'm still interested in a set. Thanks.

I'm thinking that if they can't be sold for $200 or less a set, there wouldn't be much interest anyway. TIA.. I would agree. I think you would sell plenty at $200 - more at $150, if you could swing that. Good luck. There seems to be a growing demand for these.

Lol, that's the beauty of Polo, it changes colors on you. Some C6 owner at a show last weekend asked me if I owned the black car.
I know Strick - he helped me decide on my wheels and helped with my hardtop questions. He's a great guy with a great looking car!

That thing is gorgeous! And even given the current market, and especially for such a sweet vert, you still stole it! I'm sure glad I have no desire to peddle my high mileage, highly modified, raggedty-assed '95 coupe right now. Damn would I take a beating! Thanks for the compliment! I think you are being a little too modest about your car. I'm sure it is much nicer than you are letting on! I keep thinking about modifying mine, but the cost seems to get in the way... Besides, I don't race, and it can get out of it's own way pretty well, so I guess I will keep it as is for a while. Quote: What color is that? It's beautiful! It's just the best color GM ever applied to any vehicle (IMHO  ) - Polo Green.

I guess they take us much more seriously than Goliath took David! And look what happened to him... You can find very nice late model C4's for under $10k all day long. I have recently seen a couple of higher mileage '96 Collector Editions (CE) here in Phx for under $7k. They would be a much more fun car to drive than the '86, IMHO. Just to give you an idea of what you can get for your $$, I bought this '94 vert, as is except with the original saw blade wheels, for $9K a few months ago. It has 56K miles and had over $2000 worth of maintenance done to it just before I got it (dealer replaced the opti-spark, new fuel pump, etc.). It runs and drives like a dream and the paint and interior look almost new. I thought I got a steal, but the way the market for C4's is going, I think I got a normal deal...

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but are you going to keep the old wheels? I would be interesed in them if you want to sell.

I would do a WTB thread here and on the Corvette Forum in the for sale section and see what comes up. Be specific on what you want and your car year: WTB] Thanks much for the tip! I posted your words on CF and found a nice set of polished, deep lug, A-Molds. Would have prefered chrome, but can be that choosey.
