The car is located near Niagara Falls. Canada and advertised locally so I will reserve the right to end the action early-can assist with shipping arrangements and exporting to the U. S. A.
Documentation includes a copy of the tank sticker (build sheet) - (it appears this car was delivered new to Newport Chevrolet in Trumansburg New York). insurance appraisals from 2008. 2002 and 1991. owner history to 1990 when it was imported to Canada and an Auto Trader advertisement from March of 1990 (the entire book). I also have an assembly manual. The spare wheel appears to be the factory with correct appearing Firestone 500 tire. There is no jack or tool in place. the storage compartments do not show signs of abuse
On Sunday August 7. 2016 I drove this car 400 miles round trip to a car show at highway speeds-it ran and drove fine - lots of thumbs up on the highway
On Friday August 26. 2016 I drove this car 7 hours to Carlisle PA to the Corvette Show. I near sold it to a North Carolina dealer but had no way home to Canada so I passed on the offer (which was higher than the current starting bid) and drove home Saturday evening August 27. 2016 for 7 hours with no issues at highway speeds
Someone was here looking at the car on Tuesday August 9. 2016 - each time they shifted from 2nd to 3rd it would grind - I drove it again and as long as I was patient placing it in gear (like I always do) it was fine but if you shift with a load/at a higher RPM or not as patiently it will grind - so I reduced the price a little more to allow for some maintenance . possibly a syncro issue or shifter adjustment or ?-disclosure
The speedometer stopped working - I changed the transition piece between the cable and the transmission and it worked again but has now stopped working. I disconnected the cable and spun it and the speedometer needle moves so it has to be in that transition piece or the speedo gear in the tranny -- disclosure
TEMPORARY REDUCED STARTING BID !!!! GREAT DEAL !
