Last Year of C1 Corvette with Full Trunk, 2 Sets of Tires and Wheels, Performance and Appearance Upgrades, Frame off Restoration.
Current family has owned for approx. 10 plus years. Last owner was a good friend and lives only 10 miles away, and previous owner to him was only 60 miles away. Owner has two binders of past records. Owner and friends (both Corvette specialist) performed maintenance, and chassis restoration. The body and interior has mostly been left stock, but included as we would call kinda “Old School” with the type of wheels and engine modifications that where very typical in days past with these cars and is again very popular today.

Test Drive-
The car starts and appears to be running correctly. The car does have a little bit of lumpiness to it, which feels like a performance camshaft. It accelerates very nicely, and runs as you would expect it to. The clutch catches easily, and not far up from the floor. It has medium resistance but works very smooth and seems to be operating properly. The transmission shifted into reverse and into all 4 forward speeds very smoothly without issue. Upon braking it is a 4 drum set up that appear to be adjusted well, and it stops very nicely with minimal effort. The steering is manual and has a very quick precise feel to it and seems to be set up properly as you get a response very quickly without a lot of play in the steering. Not easy to parallel park but a very fun car to drive. Chad drove it several times for approx 15 miles total.
