This Corvette is factory equipped with four-wheel independent suspension with a rear drive axle. Braking is provided by 4-wheel power disc brakes. New shocks, rotors, calipers, pads, hoses and emergency brake cables have been installed using stainless hardware. A new full-length exhaust system with new mufflers and tailpipes exits at the rear. Additional photos can be seen in the carousel to the right.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
This Corvette was previously sold on AutoHunter but is being relisted after the buyer backed out of the transaction through no fault of the seller.
The compressor spins freely. The previous owner is the one that had the engine and transmission rebuilt. After re-installing them, he stripped the seats and carpeting out. At that point he realized that he was over his head financially to buy new interior and to have it repainted. We purchased it that way and finished putting it back together. He stated to us that the AC should be checked and recharged. Everything physically looks good, we did not check or charge or even try it.
Does the ac work? I do not see a belt on the compressor.
RESERVE HAS BEEN MET!!!!!!!!

@Pops1055 – My research finds original size was F70-15 with the closest new metric size being 205/75-15. Some point in time someone put 235/60-15 on this. My only logical explanation would be because of the aspect ratio being a 60 series versus the 75 series tire. A 75 series would fill up the wheel wells. ...
THANK YOU.
@Fisj – Was wondering the body looks to sit a little high from the wheels .Just asking.nice looking car. ...

@Pops1055 – The vehicle is located in Southwestern PA, the buyer was in Southern CA. He wanted to send a transporter to pick up the vehicle so he could look at it before paying. Doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Not sure if he was that neive or a scammer. You can verify this with AutoHunter ...
Thanks so much, was not expecting an answer so pleasantly surprised, bought my 1980 off a listing from you three years ago but have been looking for a 4 speed like this one listed, thanks again, Leon
@Leonbrooks – Always wary when a buyer backs out. Can you share any details on reason? Appreciate honesty if you can share, thanks Leon ...
