I dont usually rip on other peoples cars, but that thing is hammered.
Description
Great eye-catching 1985 Corvette with over $6000 in Eckler / Greenwood wide body conversions. This car runs good and looks good as a daily driver. Her performance exhaust is a little on the loud and throaty side. There are some imperfections in the paint but overall looks good. Great candidate for custom paint.
****VERY LOW RESERVE, less than value of body kit****
Interior is decent, dash cluster works, headlights work and go up and down, power windows work well but are a little slow, power seat switch is a little temperamental and does not work well in all positions although it slides forward and backward ok.. Needs wiper switch and bezel on interior door. A/C is complete and cycles if low-pressure switch is bypassed. Heater hoses are disconnected.
She has been sitting for about a year so I would recommend a full service and tune up before a road trip. Tires have good tread but show some dry age cracks. I am sure there are some other minor issues I have missed so if you have any specific questions please ask before bidding. Clear title in hand. 125000 documented miles.

Hey just a quick observation. The bread box on the passenger side was replaced with a flat piece that had the CORVETTE word imprinted in it. Has anyone seen this somewhere to buy or do you guys think that was custom piece, considering the rest of the car was pretty custom itself.

Seriously...anyone over the age of 16 who does that to a corvette should be tar & feathered. Anyone under the age of 16 should get back in school.
If ever there was a car that needs nothing cosmetically to make it look beautiful, it's a vette. I'd love to see what the proud new owner of that thing looks like. Wonder if he noticed the car has high oil pressure and a high idle?

As ridiculous as it looks to us, maybe some kid will buy it that thinks it's rice. At least he'll have a Corvette to start with and maybe grow to love them and make it right. Then we wind up with one less ricer in the world. Can't beat that.
