It's in the garage. Seems to be a silver paint with smoked grey interior car?

Frame seems fine. I'll look it over more in the coming days.

Congratulations....you found a gem in my opinion. Make it as nice as you want it to be, and be proud you saved another Corvette. Very cool.

I love those wheels on this car! I saw some similar (same?) ones on a mid-90's GM truck I was hoping they'd fit on my Corvette but hubby figured unlikely.

I don't suppose you know what those wheels are from?

No idea. I'll let you know if I find any thing out.

Priya - I put a set of those on an 83 Camaro around 1990. I am almost certain they were Keystone (brand) wheels, but I couldn't find any examples via google. Definitely not a stock wheel on anything though.

Jimdgreat1 - I'd recommend starting a new thread under the Tech/Performance section for the Vortec engine swap (different title will get different members looking at the thread).

Think I changed my mind. Going to sell the vortec and leave the corvette like it is.
