1976 Corvette Stingray: Restore, Repair, Detail: NCRS Winter Regional 2022: 1978 C3 Corvette Silver Anniv.

Check out this 8K-mile 1978 C3 Corvette Silver Anniversary time capsule, owned by Jim Sunderwirth of Port St. Lucie, Florida.

Jim brought the car to the National Corvette Restorers Society hangar at Sun 'n Fun in Lakeland, FL, for the 2022 NCRS Winter Regional Flight Judging.

If you own a Corvette, attending an NCRS event is both fun and educational as you get to see the meticulous judging standards used for Flight-level certification. Plus all of the cars there are stunning examples of each Corvette generation.

Steering Column Swap

1977-1982 Corvette steering columns have several advantages over the 1968-1976 units, the most notorious being the overall length of the assembly.

When compared side-by-side, the difference is obvious and significant, even though newer columns are shorter by only 2 inches. However, that small difference translates into a HUGE benefit for the driver—especially tall drivers with long arms.

In this series of articles, I chronicle the process of modifying and rebuilding a 1978 tilt and telescoping steering column that I plan to use in my 1976 Corvette.

Here are all installments of the series.
