1966 Chevrolet Corvette 427 4 Sp Conv - Finish It

Tim: Any pics or drawings showing what to look for? Thanks

[1970MotionNova]

Yeah, we have before photos of the car. And it is a factory side pipe car also. It was a 184 side pipe car not the 177 like most are. Thanks for the info.

I don't, but they notched the birdcage to allow for the nuts that hold the sidepipe covers on.
They also removed the fiberglass "doglegs" that the front and rear of the rocker moldings use for attachment.
There were no rocker molding hangers spot welded to the birdcage and no evidence of spotwelds. To properly convert a car, the body needs to be pulled.
70MotionNova, I'm not sure what you mean by 184 and 177 car? The exhaust options in '66 were N11 and N14.

I'm not sure either, that's what he told me from the restoration shop. I am not a Vette person at all so I wrote down what he said. I appreciate it.

Thanks, Jeff

Something weird with this one

[1970MotionNova]

Nah, it's just denial.............lol. They make cars and airplanes that can bring you down to look at the car. Use those bonus miles up. You'll be sorry later if you don't, I guarantee. This seems really familiar to me. Reminds me of a situation where another car was posted on here before, and everybody was like this is weird or something's wrong. But, give me a week or two and you guys won't have to worry about coming down looking or buying the car, because I will. I have decided to wait on listing it on Ebay until my other car runs first. You guys have a nice weekend.

Thanks, Jeff H.
