Exterior The blue exterior is in excellent condition.
As one can see in the photos the finish has dazzling gloss, smooth finish, and deep shine.
The original rally wheels and center caps are in great condition with a brilliant finish and no curb major rash.
Please note that this Stingray has the correct and original 4-clip style beauty rings, not the cheaper foreign made replacements.
The raised white letter tires are literally brand new with less than ten miles on them and are correctly sized 225/70R15.
The soft top is in good condition with no rips or holes and the rear window is not yellowed.
There are no major blemishes that have been intentionally excluded from the photos.
There are some tiny imperfections around car that were too faint to show up in pictures, but nothing that is really noticeable from about five feet away.
This Stingray has no rust issues.
As one can see in the many photos of the underside this car is very clean underneath.
The frame is solid with no rust around the key hole area on the frame in front of the rear tire and we have seen no evidence of corrosion around the windshield or birdcage area, which is the most common spots for rust on a C3 Corvette.
We have included specific photos of the areas most prone to rust to show how nice this car looks.
Interior The Black interior of the Corvette is in fantastic condition.
The seats almost look brand new with no rips, split seam, or excessive wear.
The seat is not overly worn in the typical area on the bolster where the driver gets in and out.
The gauge faces are crisp and clean and the lenses are clear.
The dash and console are in excellent shape with no cracks, fading, or sun damage.
The original door panels are in nice shape overall with some slight wear in the typical area where the driver's elbow sits.
The carpet is in great condition with no stains, rips or holes.
The jack and jack handle are still with the car, stored correctly in the storage compartment behind the passenger seat.
The spare is also still with the car.
This Corvette has never been smoked in; there are no burns marks and no aroma of cigarettes.
Corvette interiors from this era are not known to wear well, especially for a convertible, and the excellent condition of this interior is a huge testament to the meticulous care and attention this car has received throughout its life and another great verification of the very low original mileage.
Mechanical This Corvette seems to be in very good mechanical condition.
The original numbers matching engine starts up right away every time, runs well, and idles smooth.
It drives great and feels nice on the road and at highway speeds.
In the video one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to about 70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight, and going through some curves.
Please note that there are no strange noised or vibrations and the car performs quite well overall.
The brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other.
The transmission shifts well throughout the power band.
Also, the engine compartment is beautifully clean, detailed, and correct as one can see in the photos.
The original valve covers, air cleaner, and even the upper ignition shielding are all still in place.
The radio works as do all the exterior lights, dash lights, horn, and wipers.
The blower for the heater works on all speeds.
Even the Seat Belt light and the Head Lamps light on the dash works.
The Head Lamps light goes on properly when the headlights are first turned on and goes off as it should when the headlights rise up.
Both manual air vents work, which is a common problem on early C3 Corvettes.
The entire vacuum system for the headlights and wiper door works correctly.
The headlights and wiper door go up quickly, evenly, and with no effort or binding the mechanisms.
Please note that the vacuum system works properly from both the respective switches on the dash and the override switches under the steering column.
The entire operation from both switches can be viewed in the video.
Most of the fiber optics work.
All of the gauges work with the obvious exception of the clock.
Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with the top down on a beautiful day.
A note on the fiber optic light monitoring system, we consistently receive many questions about the purpose of this system; exactly what it is and what it does.
The sole and main idea behind the fiber optic light monitoring system is to simply confirm that all of the exterior lights, headlights, indicators, tail lights, etc.
, are working and to make the driver aware of a burned out bulb.
Each lamp on the outside of the car has an actual fiber optic cable the runs to an indicator on the center console.
There are nine small indicators on the console and each has its own finer optic cable.
When the bulb goes on the light travels through the fiber optic cable and illuminates the corresponding indicator on the console.
If someone does not remember to plug the cable end into the lamp housing, does any work to the center console, or if there is a break in a connection or anywhere along the cable, that indicator no longer works.
As one can image, over time this is very common.
