Ken, check out the rare clamps with retainers on the AC hoses. no sign of anything altered but a little touch up on the valve covers under the hood. (but I'm not a vette guy)

Re: meschutt beach cruise, hampton bays
 

Those are replacement hoses and clamps on the A/C..

thats what I said when I saw them, noting they had no resemblence to standard pressurized lines. then he pointed out that clip attached to the clamp that grabs the edge of the hose. I had never seen that before so he had me. He had some NCRS docs. I'll be happy to enlighten him with an experts call.

still not a vette guy ( nor have I ever owned a paisley shirt)

My "Best" Corvette story is from the Elkhorn, Wi Car show of a few years ago
I was walking thru the Corvette section (on my way back to my car) and saw a very nice early 90's Vette that had a "All" aluminum Big Block in it.....Whoever did the conversion did a "Factory" job......very Neat and Factory appearing.......as I was looking at the car, I noticed there was a Brand New Vette (Burgandy with a Tan?? Interior) parked next to it......the owner had a couple of people looking at the car and he was telling them about how he had to search for a long time to find a Shirt and Hat that was the Exact color of the Interior so as when he would be Driving the Car....He wouldn't detract from the "Beauty" of the Car https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif.....I've since made sure to "Detour" around the Corvette Guy's.....As I get Older, my Stomach can't take that "Stuff" anymore........

Re: meschutt beach cruise, hampton bays
 

------Dont mean to correct,,, but all midyear air-conditioned Corvettes I have ever seen use that style clamp. Some of the aftermarket AC upgrades use crimped hoses, but not original Vettes. Matter of fact, the 69 Grand Prix I just took apart two days ago with 26000 orig miles also used this style clamp........Bill S

-------Oh,,,and Ken,,,The few shows Im lucky enough to get to anymore in a Corvette, I feel good to have no stains on my shirt. Never entertained a tone-on-tone motif.

Re: meschutt beach cruise, hampton bays
 

Only reason I said they are aftermarket is because I used to sell them at the old auto parts store I worked at. If Chevy put clamps like that on I wouldn't know.
