C3 Corvette Books and Literature. Wednesday, January 27, 2016. 1976 Corvette Steering Column and the "Vega" Wheel. One of the reasons I decided to venture out to the 2016 NCRS meet in Lakeland, in spite of questionable weather conditions, was the fact that I really wanted to find a few parts for the 78 steering column I bought with hopes to do a swap for my 76 Corvette. I really lucked out as I found most of the pieces I was searching for, and for reasonable prices. I have to say that I only bought one d...

My 1976 Corvette Stingray: Restore, Restomod, Drive and Enjoy: Swapping the "Vega" Steering Wheel
http://1976corvettestingray.blogspot.com/2016/03/swapping-vega-steering-wheel.html
C3 Corvette Books and Literature. Tuesday, March 1, 2016. Swapping the "Vega" Steering Wheel. 1976 Corvette owners either love or hate what's commonly referred to as the "Vega" steering wheel. It's an unfair moniker since Camaros of the era, as well as other models—including the Chevy Vega—used an identical steering wheel. This is not one of those projects that will break the bank, but you can expect to spend upwards of $350 including the steering wheel. Savvy shoppers will be able to save money sinc...

http://1976corvettestingray.blogspot.com/2016/01/1976-corvette-steering-column-and-vega.html
C3 Corvette Books and Literature. Friday, January 1, 2016. 1976 Corvette Steering Column and the "Vega" Wheel. 1976 Corvettes sported a new steering wheel that year, which was the same one used in Camaros and the infamous Vega, hence the moniker "Vega steering wheel.". 8212; Photo courtesy of Rick B. Yet another option is to use an aftermarket column such as those made by Flaming River. But those are not cheap either and, if you want the telescoping feature, you're out of luck. You can also purchase ...

C3 Corvette Books and Literature. Saturday, February 20, 2016. 1976 Corvette Steering Column and the "Vega" Wheel. As I've probably mentioned before, my steering column bearings are shot, so I ordered new ones along with a few other components needed for the restoration of the assembly,. Some Corvette vendors get upwards of $70 for just the bearing, so this was a major score, and proof-positive that doing a little bit of research pays off. One thing I did purchase was a set of E-sockets in order to prope...

http://1976corvettestingray.blogspot.com/2016/11/2016-daytona-turkey-run.html
C3 Corvette Books and Literature. Monday, November 28, 2016. 2016 Daytona Turkey Run. This year I was only able to attend the final day (Sunday) of the 2016 Daytona Turkey Run held at the Daytona International Speedway infield. Between packing personal belongings while trying to find a new place to live, I simply had no time to devote to being there for all four days. I gave the car a once-over and snapped a few pics. While walking around a spotted a few C3s for sale as well as others in the car show area.
