Re: 1963 front coil springs

Sorry for the repeat but couldn't get the photo to load when trying to edit - embarrasing. I can't recall where, but I thought I read that '63 coil springs with "masking" tape over the top coil were installed in A/C cars . The picture shows what is left of them. Please shout out if you have any additional info. Not sure I want to put these in the car (not the ones the car came with). I currently have Z06 springs installed.

These could be GM #3833319 springs which were used for 1963 Corvettes with C-60. These were supposed to have "part number taped on spring". In any event, these springs look to be in very good condition. If there's no significant corrosion damage (i.e. pitting), they should be fine for re-use.

Thanks Joe - yes, they are in great condition - just need a good cleaning.
