No, I don't think it's flipped. Look closely at the steering column. You can just see the ignition key switch. If it was a picture of a left-hand drive car that was flipped, the ignition switch wouldn't be on that side.

I think that really is a right-hand drive car.

But what is a "tic tac" automatic?

You can also see the little white diagram on the edge of the dash for the fuse box door.....

At one point GM experimented with using tiny breath mints circulating in mouthwash as a substitute for traditional transmission fluid. Owners reported an improved social life, but unfortunately several important trans components were found to have premature decay, so the project was abandoned.

Very smart he is, forgot to post the area code. I would give him a call like I usually do when you guys post stuff like this. I call them up to ask legit C4 questions.

It's likely 616, or 231.

Have fun!

If it really is a right hand drive maybe a member "down under" would be interested. I understand it's a requirement there and VERY expensive to do.

Already

1. Is not a right handed steering Vette. The dude flipped the picture and he doesnt know how to fix it.

2. It runs good.

3. Had it for two years.

4. Its not tic tac.... he meant targa top

5. Will not lower the price $8,600 firm. "It a Corvette man, I got to get top dollars for it, you know its american made"

This is the way it really looks

So.... "tic tac automatic" translates to targa or are "tic tac" and "automatic" 2 separate things?

Hooray for the public school system!


The one positive is that he didn't use 's incorrectly like about 3/4 of the people here do.
