The sale of this Corvette would also include a variety of parts (new and used, estimated worth: $500+) to include the original wheels and OEM caps. Also included are a 600 page Assembly Manual and a 1981 Dealers Service Manual. It would also include the rear mounted roof rack (RPO V54) for the removable roof sections. These Roof Rack pieces can sell on eBay for $500 to $700. (I was recently told by a forum member that he lost with a $990 bid on a recent auction.)
The story: I purchased the car with about 25,000 KM on the odometer... that translates to about 15,000 miles. All suspension bushings and ball joints were replaced at about 15,500 miles. The car underwent a body-off rebuild at that time. Though not pictured, the car comes with the mirrored T-tops. The passenger side of which has a slight crack that was present when I bought the car. Its condition hasn't changed in the time I've owned/driven it. The entire frame has been POR-15 treated and top coated with Eastwood Chassis Black. Paint and most upholstery/carpet was new at the time of the restoration. A sound/heat deadening product was installed in the floor pan before the carpet installation. Since I've owned the car it has been housed in a temperature controlled facility. Finally, the air conditioning has not been recharged since the rebuild, though it was working at the time of dis-assembly. All parts for the air conditioning system (including the belt) are believed to be included.
Pics follow, PM me for additional information if needed... asking $25K.
