Given that her tires are greater then 10 years old. I would suggest changing the tires first before a long distance drive. The tires look great, but are just getting old.
Is it ready for a 500mile road trip or does it need to be shipped?
Update: Just located the intertior connection parts for the unibody acrylic roof panel. They will go with the Vette.
BID: $14,000
@Rmscott1983 – I apologize if it says somewhere that I am not seeing, does this Corvette have the 5.7L motor or the 5.0L that was made specifically for California? Also does it have working air conditioning? thank you ...
This 1980 Corvette is a 5.7 Liter V8 and is not a California edition. The air conditioning blows cold air as the system was updated and the air conditioning compressor was replaced in 2024.

Hello Dwillhite, Thank you for your kind words. She has been a labor of love for many years and I have truly enjoyed having her parked in my garage. It's now time for someone else to enjoy this beauty. I wish you the best and hopefully you too can enjoy the ownership of a Corvette.

I just want to congratulate the seller on what a lovely lady that car is. She's beautiful. I don't think I can outbid the dealerships hoping to pick her up cheap and sell her for twice the price. But if I could, I would bring her to Oregon to be my baby. Just gorgeous! <3

It may be possible to make or find replacement parts for the missing side latch holders. I will still look to see if I can find them in a bin in my garage. I also have the original door panels and the window gears for the new owner.
@MikesVette – Attached is photo of the Unibody acrylic roof panel. ...
So the acrylic roof panel covers the T-Tops to block the sun? Can the cover be repaired or the latches available somewhere as the case may be with yours? Any leakage or wind noise from T-Tops or windows?
