This Corvette is in good running and driving condition with some minor flaws of note. There are minor misc chips and scratches around the vehicle, most are too small to see in photos. The vehicle repaint shows dust under the paint, some orange peel, and signs of poor prep. This is sub-par workmanship. The underside shows areas of minor surface rust. See pictures. There are scratches currently on the glove box door, seller states they will replace. The carpet shows some light wear and discoloration with age. There are fluid drips on the bottom of both the engine and transmission showing active leaks that will need to be cleaned off and reassessed to determine the source of the leak/s. Exhaust shows some surface rust throughout, but at this time has no leaks and sounds good. Cracked and deteriorated bushings seen at the rear leaf springs, see photos. The engine had plenty of power and there were no misfires or excessive smoking. The transmission shifted as designed with no harsh engagement or slipping. The steering was responsive and the suspension was firm and the vehicle handled well. There were no abnormal vibrations or odd noises. The brakes were firm with no pulsation felt. See below and pictures for more info.
