Vehicle Detail

If you're looking for a C3 Corvette, this is the car for you! My plans have changed, and this car belongs in the hands of someone who can give it the attention it deserves, and not sit in storage like it has for the past 25 years. This car has been a "Sunday driver", and gets driven about 100 miles a year. The work on this car was done by two family members who have since passed. I will answer questions to the best of my ability, but may not be able to answer all questions. What I know:The block is stock. It was rebuilt in 1985, and the cams were upgraded a few years later. I have the original documentation for this. The intake manifold and carburetor have been replaced with aftermarket ones.The exhaust has been replaced with aftermarket straight-pipes / side pipes (which sound amazing)Despite the logos, the car did NOT have nitrous oxide equipped (this was a "future plan" - and the equipment to do so was purchased but has mostly been misplaced)The wheelie bar is functional, but not necessary due to no nitrousThe transmission is a 3-speed automaticThe differential has been changed to a lower gear ratio to provide better acceleration. This causes the speedometer and odometer to read incorrectly. This also limits the top speed of the vehicle, making it unsuitable for long-distance highway driving. I do not know what ratio the differential was changed to, but the car is red-lining the engine to hit highway speed. The radiator is original, and has a small leak. The car is driveable, but the coolant will have to be topped off frequently, again making the car unsuitable for long-distance driving. This can be fixed by my mechanic at additional cost if you like. The car was originally white, but was re-painted. The paint job was done professionally, and none of the original color is visible even in "hidden" locations. The paint is 100% show-ready except for a minor "scuff" at the very front that occurred during it's time in storage.I have the original wheels in addition to the aftermarket wheels that are currently on the car - these will be includedThe car has air conditioning equipped, however it does not currently work. There are no obvious problems and suspect it will work properly after being purged and re-filled however I have not tried to do thisbrakes have less than 100 miles on themflip-up headlights, power windows, power locks, turn signals, even the chime that alerts you if you left your headlights on when you leave the car all work perfectly.radio has been replaced with an after-market alpine cassette deck.Items besides car included:original wheels with good (50%+ tread) tireshigh quality, perfect condition, locking car covertwo sets new replacement floor mats (still in box) The car has recently been professionally serviced (oil changed, fuel lines cleaned, carburetor serviced) and it runs great. However I suggest having the car transported. The car is currently in Fort Myers, Florida. I live in Orlando, Florida. I can arrange inspections of the car with the people storing it remotely, or I can make a trip down for a test drive for a serious buyer with 48 hours notice. Ebay limits the number of photos I can upload. The photos from the listing, plus additional ones (including the rebuild documentation & cam info) http://imgur.com/a/bWLf5 Thank you for your interest and please contact me with any questions or for a test drive!
