Parts that have been replaced through the years that I know of:Fan clutchSpark plugs/wireshoses/clampsWindshieldPassenger side mufflerfront head pipesRadiator - was bought new from Chevy dealer in '87
The engine had a bad piston when I bought the car and was gone through. Engine has all of the original components with the exception of the transistor ignition, hich was gone when I bought the car.
I have owned this car over 26 years, nd have put 80 miles on it in those years. It has been kept indoors, lways.
The exterior of the car has good patina, howing rock chips in the expected places. The car has had some paint work, ost likely in the '70s, s it has aged consistently with the rest of the finish and is nearly impossible to distinguish where the work has been done.
This coupe is in excellent condition with a consistent patina, howing even wear throughout the car. This is not a restored car and has the look and feel that a true survivor should. This car has not been detailed and is presented exactly as it has been stored for the past 25+ years. And yes, hat peace sign in the rear window is from back in the day...
This Corvette drives excellently, ith a very tight feel with zero bumps/rattles. Clutch and transmission work effortlessly as you run through the gears and the car stops very well with the factory power disc brakes.
If you are looking for a restored Corvette then this is not the car for you. If you want an honest survivor with a consistent look and feel throughout, nd a car that you aren't afraid to drive, cross country if you are so inclined, han you will find none better equipped.
