Default 2023 Pay-It-Forward

Hello all!

Welcome to the 2023 Pay it forward thread!
If anyone is up to joining in, I’d like to kick off this year’s Pay-It-Forward thread.

Each year as we approach the Holiday season, we find a renewed spirit in gift giving with friends and family. That giving spirit lives on here at the Corvette Forum and this the C-3 Corvette Family.

This thread will begin the annual “Pay-It-Forward” Holiday Season gift giving activity.

The rules for this are simple.

1) You post an item that you are giving away free of charge. Yes, you pay shipping to the new owner unless you have made previous arrangements with the claimer to pay shipping, share shipping, etc. This usually applies more to shipments outside of the US for our friends in Canada; Europe; and Australia where costs for shipping can be extravagant at times. US shipments are typically paid for by the giver for this Pay-It-Forward activity.

2) You can claim an item you are interested in owning after you have posted an item to be given away. It is, after all, a time of giving, not a time of taking, so please don't start claim an item before you take the time to Pay-It-Forward with your item or items.

3) You can post more than one item to give away. After all, it is the Holiday Season.

4) If you have given your offered part to someone please post an update to your offer thread and let us know who it was that claimed the part. This will help us to keep track of parts and avoid people asking you if it is still available when it may be gone already.

5) Be generous with your fellow Corvette Community members.

6) Have fun. This is a great community of Corvette owners and enthusiasts. Spread the joy.


I’d like to offer up the first item to give away, shipped free:

I have an opened box NOS rear emblem CORVETTE lettering for 68-73 years.
The original box is torn in places.
There are 9 letters total.
There are a total of three “T”s, two of those are used T’s, one is brand new. Otherwise, all letters are NOS.
All letters have the pins on back intact, and each letter has a corresponding push pin cap with it.

The 2 older “T”s in this box can easily be cleaned up and reused.


Please pm me if you are interested in this set of letters for your 68-73 Vette.



The CORVETTE letters have been claimed by Greg.

I have a second item, unclaimed from last year’s PIF, to give away:
This is a set of original seat tracks (one pair, for one seat) out of a 77 vette.


PM me if you’d like to claim this.

Seat tracks have been claimed by Arg0413

Hmmm?
After having 20 parts listed here for almost 3 months, only one part was claimed.
I finally decided to move it all to the For Sale section and almost all of the parts were claimed in 24 hours.
It seemed like a good idea but I guess nobody's reading the Sticky Threads.

First I will offer up a new, never installed front crossmember reinforcement plate, manufactured by David Howard.
I purchased it right when David upgraded his plates with the tow hooks, so I purchased the tow hook plate and this one has been in the box up on my shelf.
I have more items to offer up and will get them out and take pictures over the next couple of days.
Happy Holiday’s!

I'll put up some new rubber brake lines. Stop safe out there! They were for my '77 but I think are for most C3's

I would love to claim the rubber brake lines (PM sent). I have a set of 68-72 convertible retainer/guides which I tried to sell but they are pricey. So in the spirit of the season I hope someone can upgrade their more than likely broken guides.

I would love to have these for my 1972 Convertible if they are still available.
Thank you.
