3) The paint is the original Monza Red (974 code) color. All of the glass is in excellent condition as well as the chrome and trim. The paint on the car is good, not excellent. There is one very small crack at the rear roof fin that will not even pick up on the camera. There is also some touchup paint just below the pop up headlight on the right side. Don't get me wrong, it does not need a paint job, it is just not perfect, but very good. The wheels and tires are excellent and the tires are BF Goodrich Radial TA's P245/60R15's. The interior is the original Saddle (418 code) and in excellent condition as well. The pictures do not do justice to the color as the saddle is a rich color however the pictures look creamy...not so. The driver's floor mat is a little dirty but under the mat the carpet is perfect. I don't believe it is the original carpet as it looks fairly new. The dash and the gauges are excellent and it has T-Top covers and a Corvette bag in the rear that comes with the car. The AC blows cold and all of the gauges work except for the clock. The wipers work as well as the pop-up lights. The engine is not original to the car; however, it was done right. It still has everything else factory and in the right place such as canisters, wiring, AC, and so forth. It looks clean and complete under the hood. The motor is a high performance built 400 small block with aluminum heads and a great sounding cam. It has a Holley Street dominator aluminum intake, Holley Performance carburetor, Pro Billet distributor, Taylor wires, Ceramic headers and power steering. The motor is tuned perfectly and starts right up and runs fabulous. It is strong and I'd estimate the horsepower around 375-400. It sounds great with new mufflers and the exhaust is run correctly under the car through the frame. The car is fast. Underneath the car, the frame is not scaly at all and even though it is driver quality under, it is solid and looks well maintained. It does have the spare. It has new tie rod ends under the front and routine maintenance has been performed as needed. If you look at the car from the front and straight on, you can see that the wheels are lined up and sit right. It drives straight and true down the road and handles excellently. 102,000 miles.

It drives straight and true down the road and handles excellent. Overall, I would rate this car as a high, upper scale, driver quality Corvette. It is not a perfect 100 point show car, however it is very dependable, and super nice. It doesnt need any work and I wouldnt hesitate to drive it anywhere.
