Hello; could you list more info on this car, such as motor repairs, paint, body work, interior rework…
The current owner purchased this Corvette approximately three years ago from MGM Classic Cars in Addison, Illinois. He was drawn to the car primarily for its iconic color combination, the way it drives, and its classic exhaust note.
While he has enjoyed the car, he is not a car enthusiast and, as such, has limited knowledge of its prior restoration or mechanical history. Since taking ownership, he has replaced the fuel pump and battery, performed routine maintenance, and had the car professionally detailed.
Thank you for your interest.
