I recently took possession of my father's 1959 Corvette. It has been in our name for 22+ years, but now I am responsible. In western Montana, that means a heated, mouse-proof garage. I managed that for now.
It is a survivor, that my father purchased off of his brother in 1960 or 1961.
It needs some TLC before I start it up. Drain/siphon gas tank, add non-oxygenated premium, rebuild both carburetors, check fuel pump, check brake cylinders...………………...
I clicked around the C1 forum and did some preliminary searches. Some very good information and discussions are in that forum. Looking forward to washing the dust off today.
