Vehicle Description
This car means business. Anytime you have a big block with a manual
transmission in an early Corvette, you're going to have a smile on
your face while you drive it. The colors are factory correct as it
was delivered new, the car looks awesome, and it runs strong. Check
it out.
This car is pumped up and muscular from end to end in its LeMans
Blue. But it's not just big bulging muscles. Ok, the big power
bulge hood is pretty intimidating. But the rest of the car looks
gracefully strong. More like a gymnast than a body builder. It
keeps its feet planted firmly on the ground through those beefy
tires tucked up under the fenders that curve in and out gracefully
cutting a clean shape. It leads with a chrome bumper, one of the
last few years to have those, then flows up and over the glass
insert T-roof panels then around and down the sail panels meeting
the curves of the rear fenders on the deck and blending everything
into the integrated spoiler. Four round taillights are a Corvette
standard feature and a split rear bumper sits over twin chrome
exhaust tips extending out through chrome trimmed cutouts.
Open the door and you will find the code 411 Dark Blue vinyl
interior that is also the correct color that this car was delivered
in new. It is clean with minimal wear and looks extra sweet because
it is an unusual color. The door panel has a nice long armrest for
long distance cruising trimmed out with chrome piping leading to
the door lock and handle. The high back bucket seats have a pleated
center section and smooth vinyl bolsters and headrests. A beefy
Grant GT steering wheel feels good in your hands and a Hurst short
throw shifter rises from the center console just begging to be
stirred around. There is a SportComp tachometer mounted on the
column with a stock dash and gauges behind it and there is a JVC
FM/CD/iPod compatible head unit with Alpine speakers mounted in the
rear for your listening pleasure.
Pop the hood and you will find 502 cubic inches of big block power
nestled down in the engine bay. There is a chrome air cleaner
feeding a Holley 4-barrel carburetor with an Edelbrock high rise
manifold getting the mixture distributed out to the cylinders
properly. An MSD system handles the ignition duties working along
with a new set of cap and wires. Ribbed Edelbrock valve covers are
painted black with polished ribs helping with oil cooling a bit,
and long tube headers get the spent gasses heading back toward dual
Flowmaster mufflers and those chrome tips at the rear. Signs of
good maintenance include newer belts and hoses as well as a newer
alternator. The power flows back through that 4-speed transmission
and the rubber meets the road through Mickey Thompson tires mounted
on 5-lug Centerline wheels that are staggered with 275/60R15s in
the back and 255/60R15s in the front.
Factory correct colors, big bad big-block power, and a 4-speed
stick shift. Come on down and check out this car. There is nothing
more fun that romping on a big engine in a little car.
