I'm curious as to why it needs floors. That is not a normal thing to go wrong on a mid year. I have seen them crack around the seats and around the pedals but never to the point in where you need new ones.
im thinkin the OP thinks he is on a camaro or chevelle forum? its his first post here soooo
hahahaha

The new guy did not know it was fiberglass underneath the old carpet.
The issue is this. Below the gas and brake pedal floor board is soft to the point the gas pedal pulls off the throttle to the left.

The floor could have a crack or split in it. You should be able to see this by getting under the car and looking at the lower part of the firewall between the tunnel and where the clutch linkage comes out (provided you have an M/T). It obviously can't be welded, but fiberglassing up problems like that isn't too tough a job. I had a similar problem on my '66.

Go easy on him- not a totally far fetched question as c3's did eventually sport a steel panel section in the floor and it obviously can and will rust.
Most of us ask questions from time to time that seem elementary to others. The forum works because everyone gets help.

We can stand a little humor. A large part of the rest of the vintage car world thinks old Corvette owners are all half-crazed vehicular archeologists and genealogists anyway.

You can almost repair anything but if bubba cut out your floor pan area I have floor sections for mid years. I am cleaning up my supply of old fiberglass and going to sell it off.

Petronix and it works well. Rebuilt the original 600 Holley, good for now. In the process of replacing a deck spring, a pain.
Original am/fm radio has a bad volume control. know anywhere to buy parts?

Yes, the deck springs can be a pain, particularly if the spring/hinge assembly has to come out and the fasteners are badly rusted/frozen.
Mine has so many needs that I am ignoring my radio for now.
