Anyone have any information regarding Corvette Cruising ( Restoration shop ) located in the ST. Louis,MO area? I am looking at a C-1 they have for sale. Appreciate any comments.

After looking it up I found out I live just within a mile of there but never noticed it before.

I might remind you guys the first big car cruise at Life Christian Church is this Friday.With the weather iffy I'll probably be in the wife's white 79 Camaro Z28.

I have never heard of that Corvette shop, I've been here 40 yrs.

You need to get out more, Mike. I discovered there is a whole car culture down in that area I had never heard of.

And if you haven't been, you need to get to Life Christian Church on Friday.




Heck, I thought this was about the car cruises, not a shop, when I read the title. Don't you have an address? Or maybe just look it up on Switchboard.com?

You have to watch carefully, there are more and more places that are little one man operations that are technically dealers by law and operate out of their spare bedroom. So they have a fancy dealer sounding name and it is really one guy.

Whole bunch of stuff going on.

Was told the address for the shop is 3387 FEE FEE RD, Bridgeton, MO 63044. Before I went any further on the purchase of the C-1, I was hoping someone was familiar with their work.

That is my guess. I haven't heard of Corvette Cruising before but the address on Fee Fee is in a residential neighborhood. The company was registered with the secretary of the state under a Donald Wareing. However I see the name was terminated in 2005. Wonder why the first location you gave was in Arnold? How did you come across the car?

I have a 65 Resto-Mod listed on several sites. An individual, Don, contacted me with an offer to trade for his 1960 FI Vette. The car is listed at WWW.CorvetteCruising.com The site shows the ongoing restoration?? Not sure what to make of this ??? Thought someone in the ST. Louis area might be able to help. Looks like a beautiful little 60..

Old Blazer

OK. I remember seeing that website before. Car really does look good!

I get out but not enough I guess. I normally stay north and west of St. Louis but I occasionally make it down south. I wish I could make it Friday night but I'm replacing the water pump and radiator in my 67 this week trying to get it ready to go to Joplin at the end of April.

After looking at the address in Arnold for Corvette Cruising there is a very little area on Commerce drive that are businesses.I was just over there a week ago to get a leak stopped on the Camaro at Transmissions to go on Market pl. which is just off Commerce dr. and never noticed any Corvette Cruising business.
A change of plans,I'll be taking the 62 to the LCC cruise Friday and should be parked with a few other Corvettes.

Procrastination Racing

This one, right?

C-1 Generation 2

That's the one.It looks a little different now.It has 17" wheels now and different tires,new seats,new rear springs,halogen angel eye headlights among other things.Sometime hard to take a picture,there's no gold in the paint it but it appears that way at times.I'm thinking the picture is from 09.
Are you going to be there Friday?
Noticed your address is Florida.

Procrastination Racing

No, won't be there. I got laid off at Christmas and came home.

It was a great show and I will miss it.

Would you consider ( For a Fee ) going by and checking out the 60 Corvette.. I am down in Florida and would appreciate any input on the car. It is located in Bridgeton,MO. Send me an email ( skipsiestavette@cfl.rr.com ) if this might be possible and I will get you the location and contact info. Thanks

Procrastination Racing

Too bad you hadn't run into this a couple of months ago. I was working just a couple of miles from that place, according to the information you gave. I don't ever remember seeing it, but I didn't go down Fee Fee but a few times.

Looks really clean and right but pictures always look good.

I went to the car cruise last night,maybe about 300 cars there.

One friend has decided he wants to sell his 59 Corvette.It's black with red interior and black top.It has 283 with a single quad and 4-speed he has steel wheels with dog dish hub caps and black walls and factory steel wheel with full wheel covers.
I don't have any pictures of the car and don't have Jerry's phone number and won't see him again until the cars cruise for the month of May.
It's an exceptional car and I think he's want something in the $60s for it.
