  1. As a C1 owner, I wonder what happens to the chassis on the resto mods after the conversions?
    I would be interested on a rust free one.
    Let me know if you have one.

  2. I think I owned this 1958 Corvette…A man from Sudbury, MA. backed into me and put the crack in the front fender…He said,”They ought to outlaw these small cars, you can’t see them.” I said ,”If you looked behind you this wouldn’t have happened.” I got it fixed, however, there were no good body people to repair fiberglass. The body people did a poor job, but it was the best around at the time…It as a quick car and VERY reliable…I had some trouble finding someone who could tune the car with the dual 4’s, but when I did it was running fine and very fast…BLEW off a ’57 fulie by 5 car lengths in the 1/4 mile..I was the second owner…The first owner was named Wyman…If you can find the original title…I got well over 20 MPG…

  3. Preston,
    I was looking at a 1958 corvette for sale, looks a little rough with 58,000 miles on engine .Numbers not matching, title marked not actual. looking for a driver corvette. What do you think this corvette would be worth?
