Car history:
Posted 10/02/2018 Pics 1-10
Spring of 2017, I found this original Corvette in a climate controlled garage where
a small collection had been stored for many years. There was no documentation to
be found but a thorough, expert inspection indicated that this was an original
car with no rust issues or evidence of damage repairs. After the initial start up
procedures, it was kept under a cover in my carport briefly, then left in Tuscaloosa
Chevrolet's climate controlled shop for four months while I moved to Florida. It
now resides in my home's climate controlled garage. I drive it once or twice a
month to local cruise-ins and car shows, where it draws a lot of attention. The
paint and interior appear to be original. The black leather interior has no rips or
tears, and no cracks in the dash pad. The A/C and all the gauges work (except
the clock, of course). The headlights and wipers operate perfectly. The carpet
is in good condition other than a small wear hole on the drivers side. The paint
is faded a little on the upper surfaces, and the usual minor scratches and dings
to be expected on an original, unrestored car. The odometer is showing just
over 36K which, from the overall condition of the car, appears to be original.
The engine is the correct, numbers-matching 454/365hp LS5. The automatic
transmission is very clean and was probably replaced or rebuilt at some point
in the recent past.

Tuscaloosa Chevrolet senior ASC Technician performed most of the work listed
below to make this a dependable, reliable, yet still original driver.
