For the A.I.R. System, I highly recommend member Bill Hodel in Ohio, I can't find his contact info right now, but I will keep looking and post back here if I find it.

JR, I was wondering the same, but had to be C2 up with A.I.R. I'd bet he owns a '69 black coupe, with K19.

Surely you are wrong as they stopped making Corvettes after 1967!!!! They just called Chevrolet's Corvettes!!!!

Joe,

You must be thinking of Thunderbirds and Cougars. After 1967, Corvettes became better looking, more comfortable, and better performing.

First world class Corvette began in 1997 with the C5 series, C2's are just muscle cars lurking in sexy plastic wrappers.

...and through 1979 used basically the same chassis as 1963-67.

By the way, 1963-82 Corvettes use basically the same front suspension as 1958-64 full size Chevrolet passenger cars.
