Default 1988 transmission problem

Hello all,

I am thinking about purchasing an '88 Vette, but it has transmissions issues with it.

The car is an automatic. 64K original miles on it.

I talked to the woman that owns it, and she said the car doesn't move foward or backwards at all. Sounds like the tranny needs a complete rebuild. So I will have to tow it. She owned it since new and wants someone to give it some TLC. Seats also need to be completely REUPHOLSTERED.


Any help on what the transmission might need? Or is it fried?

Thanks.
