Optima does make a 6 volt battery.  I don't know what the part number is.  I saw some at my local Interstate Battery store.
You may want to try there if there is such a store in your area.

I need to replace my 6-volt battery.  I would be grateful for any <br>suggestions.  Does Optima make a 6-volt?  Where do you purchase this brand?<br>Thank you and thank you Kenyon, for advice on shut off.<br>Jerry<br><br>> On my 62, I broke the piggy bank and bought an Optima battery.  You just <br>> can't go wrong with it.  You don't have to trickle charge it if you don't <br>> drive the car all the time, and it charges up fast too.  Now, an Optima <br>> looks way out of place in the vintage surroundings of our engine <br>> compartments.  So I ordered an Optima tar top cover that Eckler Corvette <br>> sells.
