Classic Corvette overheating
C1 through C3 Corvettes have tight engine bays and old cooling designs. Many run hot in traffic or on warm days, especially after decades of mineral build-up, missing seals, or mismatched parts. Most cases come down to airflow, the radiator, the fan or the ignition timing.

Birdcage (windshield frame) rust
Under the fiberglass body, C2 and C3 Corvettes have a steel inner structure often called the "birdcage." It surrounds the cabin and windshield. Water leaks from windshield and roof seals can rust it, especially at the windshield pillars and the lower windshield frame. Repairs can be extensive because the body may need to come off.
