SOMEONE PLEASE GRAB MY LEG AND PULL ME BACK DOWN TO EARTH.

Okay, yelling out of the system. Just took delivery of my first corvette. 1986 red coupe. 97K miles, straight body, interior good except the leather seats. All lights on dash work. Heres a look.

Congrats on your new ride.

1. Liquid black shoe polish will bring back the shine on the steering wheel. (no kidding)

2. Here's a link to replace the missing headlight switch. http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=3.679

It looks cleaner than my '95, and probably is. That sucks..... Mine's faster though!
Great looking car and congrats!

Thanks for the kind words. The steering wheel is upside down because my driveway is difficult to pull into from the right, just didn't turn the wheel before I took the photo. I have the headlight switch **** but it falls right off.

I looked at about 12 different cars before I bought this one. It is by far the cleanest one I looked at. The radio dosen't work but that is the only thing that dosen't. The top has a crack and a small piece missing but fits good. Paint is in excellant condition. Seem like it was recently painted but a good job was done. I was mainly looking for a driver in good condition for the rest of the summer before she goes into the garage. I'll start replacing the minor stuff then.
