Default C3 ZO7 Find ?


Is this the off road suspension and brake package that was offered as the ZO7 option on a C3 Corvette? LOL. I was actually doing an investigation at an illegal tow yard and came across this beauty. This was definitely Bubba's tow yard. I asked the owner if it ran, he said yep, popped the hood, filled his mouth with gas, spit it into the carb, and after a couple cranks, it fired up. I love what I do...

Sure. The car won't run without the tobacco juice from the plug he was chewing. Beechnut is good for 105 octane.

Yep, that's it and very likely the reason so few were sold.

The sad part is that the body and the interior were in really good condition.
