You got it! C3 was driven for a year or so until I started to restore it. I wanted a summer driver in the mean time and I believe you're right. It seems like a fantastic DD!

This one was in Brockton. The CEL concerns me but I have a feeling its due to a few sensors. had an L98 Camaro that had almost the same hesitation issues and it was a few sensors that had been clogged up or went bad.

That Arctic White sure does look clean though!

Great advice -
I had a '95 Trans Am that would start to stumble and even be hard to start once hot. Suggestions were opti, fuel pump, etc. It turned out to be a loose ICM connection that would move once hot. I tightened everything up and it ran fine. Rule out the easy (free) stuff first!

I'd rule out fuel pressure by checking fuel pressure and how fast it leaks down. After which I'd price out and Opti replacement and subtract the sale amount by that much. If I go home and it isn't, my win. If it is, I'm covered. Either way the final sale price will have to reflect the R&R of the Opti. That or you fix it before sale

Congrats on the car. You have the same rim style and tire size I have on my 93 so I guess it's pretty standard.
