    C3 Corvette for 1990 fox Convertible

    From a driving perspective I would agree. I just think the C5 is kind of plain looking. While it is a big improvement over the C4, I always liked the lines of the C3. Especially the 70-72 and 80-82. Guess I am just a little bit off, but to each their own, right?.:p

    should I trade??????

    I had a 92 special edition with an auto and 2.73 rear gears and it was slooowww. Nothing a few boltons and gear change would not fix. Is the 92 fox in your deal a 5sp or auto? There were a lot less 5sp made in the 92 specials.

    Front bumper cover clear coat

    My front bumper cover is starting to look like a glazed doughnut… When I redid the interior a couple of years ago, the side mirror had the glazed doughnut look with the glazing flaking off. I very successfully wet sanded the colored part of the mirror and rattle can re-clear coated. Turned...

    Yeah I understand that not much was going on under the hood, but 79 was the last year you could get the L82 engine with a 4sp.

    C3 Corvette for 1990 fox Convertible

    Hmmm... Was @ a local cruise this weekend and was offered a trade. Guy wants to trade a 1979 L82 4sp vette for my 1990 limited convertible. While not a slam dunk, I must say that I am interested. It was a decent looking car with the spoiler package. The exterior was about the same condition...

    89 Convertible Frame Broken?

    Also, make sure to pull the top material out of the frame before fully retracting the top. The frame will pinch the top, causing damage over time and make it hard to fully retract.

    89 Convertible Frame Broken?

    The top shrunk while you had it down... I know that this does not sound possible, but it happens. If I left the original top on my 90 down for a day or two, I would have to put weights on the front of the top to stretch it before it would hook. Even kept a ratchet strap in the trunk, in...

    limiting top speed

    Thanks for all the input... His mother wants to get a Sherman Tank, but I don't think he could afford the gas... :). I have been driving a fox since 1988 and guess I forgot/got used to how light the rear can be. After reading the posts, I think it may be best to start with more stable...

    limiting top speed

    Hear what you are saying and hold all the children in my house 110% responsible for their actions. That said, boys will be boys and I could not live with myself if something happened.

    limiting top speed

    I am interested in restoring a fox body GT with my son. He would learn alot and I would enjoy it. We have several years before he starts driving, so time is not an issue. What is an issue is if I would of had a 5.0 when I was 16, I would likely have killed myself in a wreck. Came damn close...
