Q: How do I change the radiator on my 1969 Chevrolet Corvette?

A: you have one good answer so far, but yours is a vette and they are just a little harder to do then any other car GM put out, one is cause your radiator is installed on a angel, but here is how its done, drain the radiator and remove the recovery and upper hose from the radiator, if this is not an L88 then you will have a fan shroud but the L88 it did not have one,if its not the L88 there will be a radiator baffle bracket that hold the shroud and youll see the bolts on top, remove the ones that bolt to the radiator not the shroud as youll have to take it off and put it on the new radiator and left up just a little as the shroud just sets in a channel on the bottom onces its out just let the shroud hang on the fan, then remove the lower hose and if its an automatic trans remove the trans cooling lines and you only have to plug the return line thats the bottom one then theres two radiator upper support brackets with two bolts in each one, and now just left up slow.
if you call around you may find a radiator shop that will recore your radiator, i just had one done and it only cost me $80.00 to have it recored.
when your putting this back in the radiator just sets in a channel with two rubber mounts on each side make sure they are in place and in good shape, then bolt the brackets back on, then the lower hose and trans lines, then the shroud and recovery hose, and then the upper hose and your done but i would think about replacing the t-stat when you do this as it may save you from draining some of the antifreeze back off to replace it.

one more thing if this is an auto trans check your trans fluid as you just pulled your radiator, so you just lost some trans fluid from that and make share the motor and trans has had time to warm up befor you check it.

hope that helps

Q: how much would it cost to insure a 1973 C3 Chevrolet Stingray Corvette?
I am doing a class project and just need to know an average cost of insurance for a Stingray Corvette.

A: There are too many factors to just say a number. The insurance company looks at your driving history, the condition of the car, your location and the age of the driver.
I am an older driver, and I have a 1969 Corvette. I pay around $500 per year. I have a multi-car discount on my policy and an excellent driving record.

Q: 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible?
My girlfriends uncle has an old 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible and its in bad shape, i’ve never seen it its out on her grandparents farm in Winnipeg but apparently looks like a cow ran into the back end… How hard would u say it would be to repair it, is it worth it…i’ve done work on cars but nothing to this degree and I only know the minimal things. Its been kept outside too for years only covered by a car cover and a tarp. How much would it cost, any ideas?

A: The car has a fiber glass body. If you’re planning on doing your own repairs and do not have previous experience with this type of material, don’t even think about it.

Q: Is 130,000 miles too much on a used 1984 Chevrolet Corvette?
Just wondering before I bought it.
It’s only 5000. I saw some pics and it looks nice.

A: I would not buy it, unless you plan on doing all the repair work yourself and you have a lot of time to spend doing repair work. Even the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette is on Consumer Reports 2010 list of Worst Cars. Here are my guidelines:

If purchasing a Toyota Motor Corp. vehicle (Lexus, Toyota, or Scion), I would stay under 350,000 miles.
If purchasing a Honda Motor Co. vehicle (Acura or Honda), I would stay under 250,000 miles.
If purchasing a General Motors vehicle (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saab, or Saturn), I would stay under 60,000 miles.

And by AutoOnInfo.net’s detailed computations, a typical 3-year-old Chevrolet vehicle may be about as troublesome to own as a typical 19-year-old Toyota Motor Corporation.

Q: Would you recommend a Chevrolet Corvette for a first car?
I want one but I need advice.

A: Its a good car, not practical for the winter, but if you have the money and you live somwhere warm…

Q: Whats better a Dodge viper srt10 or a chevrolet corvette z06?
I honestly prefer the dodge but the chevvy is realy good

A: A very immature question, you are not very old are you. Both cars have their features and benefits which would appeal to different people. If there was one perfect car we would all be driving it.
Niether of those cars is best for the normal motorist due to many reasons. Both are old tech old designs from about 7 years ago and there are much better cars around in the same price range now.
