Hi everyone. Just wanted to say Hey and I’m here to answer any questions you might have. This Corvette is super clean has a no hit body with all bonding stripes intact. Paint is extremely nice. Starts as fast as you turn key every time. New compressor and air blows cold. All fluids changed and ready to go. Overall very clean car.
