We'll, thanks to Hurricane Harvey, I'm back in the Hunt for a Fawn Beige '62 Corvette. Prefer 300 or 340 hp with 4-speed and a hardtop. Numbers matching preferred. Thanks!

Matt I am very sorry to hear that. I hope that you find even a better replacement soon.

Mike Terry

Matt sorry to hear about loosing your car. Good luck on the hunt for a new replacement. But what really counts is that you and family are all OK. That what really counts.

Inquiring minds want to know. Did your insurance company come through okay? Any pictures?

matt houston

IBoth of my cars were totalled, and I'm now waiting for a check from the insurance company. I can't wait to put this behind me.

I lost a '96 blue/white Viper and a 2015 TR C7 Corvette. They were both awesome cars, but I'm thinking it's time to go back to my classic Vette roots. Only problem is that I have very little time for travel, so I may have to find something in my neck of the woods.

Dude, so sorry to hear about this. It always sucks to lose a car in circumstances like this. Hopefully, no one was hurt, and you family is now high and dry (and safe).

Cars can be replaced, and a 62 is not a bad alternative.

Good luck on the search, and let us know if we can help.

matt houston

Great to hear from you Charles! Yes, the family is safe and sound. I'm so very happy that our Goodwood Green L79 was not in my garage three weeks ago!

Matt, sorry to hear of your significant losses. I live in Bellaire and am selling my '62 matching number 'Vette....undamaged by the storm. Not Fawn Beige, but a 250/327 Red/black car. Solid car I've owned for 20 years. Muncie with aux hard top. Driver, not concourse, but great mechanically and an attractive 5 footer. Just bought a '74 Carrera (heresy, I know) let me know if interested. Original engine. Correct wheels and Wonderbar come with car. steve

Too bad you're not looking for a 61. A friend in Clear Lake is selling his Fawn Beige 61 with hardtop, 283-245. It's extremely nice.

matt houston

Yes, I'm familiar with that Fawn 61. It's a beautiful car, but a lot of money for a n.o.m car.

I believe some early (or late) 1961 Corvettes got an unusual engine casting number. Got to look this up again, as I don't recall the details.
Is the car you are talking about (possibly) one such car? In other words, what is the casting number on the NOM motor (if you know)?

Thanks
