Yes, I think that the tires are old.
The previous owner hadn't even licensed it since '91.
It only has 24Kmiles on it.
I've got some resto to do. Mainly stuff from it sitting, but also some jury rigs under the hood.

Thanks for all the compliments. I love this car. It's exactly what I have wanted for years and years.
:D

Nice Ride!

Love the pic looking at the car from the front. Even 25 years later I don't think a car has been built yet that is better looking than a C3 from that angle! :cool:

Nice Vette and Welcome to the forum!

have between the tire and the spoiler?

That's an awesome looking Vette. L-82, 4 spd...that sounds familiar but yours is a year newer than mine. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

The tires are 255-60-15's.
I don't know the clearance. I'm not home right now.
The engine compartment looks pretty good, but; I've got a lot of work to do there. It's mainly that clean because it only has 24K on it.
It does have some leaks I will soon address and some clean up to do.

Thanks for all the compliments.
