Motors owns this Corvette, unlike many of the "Dealers" out there.
We invest our own money in quality vehicles. Unlike the BIG
consignment "Dealers" out there that take everything and anything
just to pay for their overhead and "Sales Staff". They charge the
customer a fee to "Market" the vehicle. The consignment "Dealers"
do not anything mechanically to the consignors vehicle. All of the
vehicles at Rev Up Motors have been inspected for safety and for
their mechanical operation. This is all done by a Licensed ASE
Certified Master Technician. The Exterior is exceptional condition.
The Horizon Blue paint is very nice as you can see in the pictures
and video. The engine bay is very stock in appearance and clean!
The original 283 CID sounds very nice and healthy. This Corvette
runs and drives awesome. It starts, idles, drives and stops very
nice. A keen eye will notice the aluminum finned valve covers, yes
the original ones are boxed and come with the car. The tachometer
does not function. Just found a NOS tachometer cable in the box
after the video was taken. It is ready for the next owner to
install. The Interior is in nice condition as you can see in the
pictures and video. The carpet does show some wear more on the
drivers side. It comes with carpeting that was purchased in 1992,
but was never installed. The undercarriage is original. The frame
is rock solid with no issues or soft spots visible. Can send a
video of testing the frame front to back with a hammer and
screwdriver. In summary, this Corvette is a true survivor. The
original owner was very diligent in maintaining this car to keep it
as original as possible. It has been documented since day one!
