    I just bought another C1!

    All,

    I'm very excited about my latest Vette purchase (a '62), but I have to admit, this one is a bit of a project car. I welcome any advice you guys might have in taking on the restoration.

    Some of the items I've already noticed that will need attention:
    .
    .
    Front suspension needs work.
    .
    .
    Corvertible top window is missing.
    .
    .
    There is some rust in areas.
    .
    .
    Both passenger and driver doors are sticking. In fact I'm having a hard time even getting them open.
    .
    .
    And I don't think the color is original, but it sure looks nice.
    .
    .

    I think the engine is stock, but haven't gotten a chance to really look it over. Anyway, here is a picture of her. I know this car isn't perfect, so please don't don't pick on her too much. I hope to someday get her back to looking like she did when she first rolled off the assembly line.

    -Dave

          Prices

          Dave,

          With prices of what they are today, this would be the only type of C1 that I could afford.

          Now we have the before pictures, sure to send the after pictures.

            Isn't that the last C-1 ever built? Maybe you can get the serial number x 1000 at Barrett Jackson this spring!

                Thanks for deleting that Tracy. My wife wanted to stop by an antique store in Mt. Vernon, WA. I ended up buying a full size traffic light (and I mean the big ones) and that Corvette.

                  Look for a non-stock switch on the dash and....

                  I think she'll come up for you. That baby has had a slam job.
