Have had this great car since 1999, second owner. It's been a very reliable and fun car for many years and has many more to come. Transmission was replace at 50,000 miles and been great ever since. Excellent gas milage, 20MPG in city and 28MPG highway, this has been consistent since I've had the car. Built in 12-CD changer with premium Bose sound system. Billy Boat exhaust system. Have to sell due to financial reasons (and having too many cars). Car has 194,000 but definately doesn't drive like it, it runs great! Now for known issues: Currently the BCM seems to be bad. I trouble shot it to the BCM then took it to a shop where they verified it. The board itself can be bought online from $150 -$600. The problem is only dealers have the equipment to program it. This module (body control module) controls windows, radio, some gauges (fuel-battery-oil-temp) and internal lights. I installed a battery quick disconnect switch to disable the battery and keep it from draining from the BCM module problem. Been using the car like this daily as it still runs great. The tires have fair tread but the Z06 style chrome plated wheels (after market) aren't in the best condition ascetically. The oil pressure sensor has is bad and drips a little oil down the back of the engine which sometimes gets on exhaust. This sensor is difficult to replace as you have to remove the intake manifold to do it. Some people have cut a hole in the wiper drain tray to replace it but I never gave that a try. Ther's a slight body surface blemish on the left rear fender from a possible tap while it was parked. I wouldn't be selling this car if I didn't have to, it's been great but I have a 1976 Stingray I'm rebuilding.
