Help for Jeff Markwart

**jmarkwart** · October 18th, 2012, 05:45 PM

I'm back! Thanks to Ron & Altec Best, and anyone else who lent a hand. BTW, I still have my original user ID and P/W.

I guess I have been pretty busy over the last six months with the performance mods I've been adding to my old 96 LT4 Corvette and other projects. I'll track the six months a little closer in the future.

Well..16 years old is relative I suppose, but they don?t last like Altecs do! Chevy doesn?t make a lot of Corvettes (only 21,536 1996 models were built) and they seem to disappear from road use rather quickly. Lately when I?m on the road or when I attend a Corvette car show I seldom see an 84-96 or older model. Most seen are newer C5 and C6 models, and the next generation C7 is due out next year. GM no longer supplies most C4 specific replacement parts, and an increasing number of parts, like rear hatch windows, are all but impossible to find at salvage. I guess I?m just seeing the handwriting on the wall and feel it's becoming more of a classic each day.

Yes they are ! A friend of mine is selling a 56 Corvette ! Now that is OLD ! My all time favorite is the 63 split window...

Welcome Back Jeff !

Back in the 70's here guy named Ralph Corbin (Corbin Electronics) had a 54 Vette. 6 popper with tri-power! Remember Chevy didn't do the 265/283 V8 till 55.That's the oldest I've ever seen. AFAIK VERY FEW 53's. So likely I won't ever see one.

That's gorgeous - and I think that's the first time I've seen one. Didn't even know they made 'em that early.

I saw one once a longtime ago..In the late 80's IIRC at a car show in Atlantic City... You could barely get near it, as it was a big attraction as you could imagine... Yeah '53 was the first year for the Chevy Corvette.

My buddy told me to stop by with my camera and take a few close up's of his '56.. It's a 283 with dual quads.
