#’s matching big block 454- LS5 (365HP) with 85K original miles. Re-built less than 2,500 miles ago.
TH 400 Automatic Trans, Original Quadra-Jet Carb was also rebuilt and the A/C was converted to R134 and blows cold.
Factory installed options on the T-top Coupe include: Factory A/C, PS, PB, audio security alarm, 3-pt harness seat belts, removable rear window, and rear luggage rack.
The car has no rust and factory “Sunflower” Yellow exterior paint was refreshed by the original owner and is still in nice condition. The Fiberglass body is straight and all panel seams are even. All chrome and emblems are in great shape. No accidents in its history.
Black interior is all original and in great shape for being as old as the car is. All gauges including the fiber optics console lights including the dash clock all work.
Original owner had changed out the radio to a later model corvette radio/cassette player, seller has the original radio that was in the car.
In addition - Tune-up (Plugs, wires, distributor cap & rotor, Pertronix kit & Coil installed to get rid of the points but still retains the stock look, timing & advance set), new PCV Valve, oil changed, new aluminum radiator & fan shroud, new alum water pump installed, all new belts & hoses, new HD Fan clutch, new battery, new starter, vacuum actuators for both headlights and wiper door are new.

LS6 open air cleaner installed, but I still have the original duel snorkel (ugly) LS5 closed system.
Items not working: Windshield washer motor, Heater core disconnected (have new one)
This car has always been garaged kept and never driven in inclement weather as evidence by its overall interior & exterior condition.
It is not a frame-off restoration perfect car. You don’t get a frame-off restoration condition in this price range.
This car runs and drives well, steering tracks straight and no pulling towards either side. Engine temp runs cool with new radiator auxiliary fans.
A/C blows cool. Brakes work well and tires are still in almost new condition.
Numerous new small parts that have been accumulated come with the car, just haven’t gotten around to getting installed yet, they will all go with the car at sale.
Clear title in hand.
