Vehicle description
Hi, Re-listing due to no contact from high bidder. . I am selling this 1985 Corvette project car with a clean Florida title. The car runs good and goes down the road ok but is definitely not a daily driver without a full weekend of work. Tune up, fluids changed, etc. I got this car in a trade deal, it had sat for many years outside and had not run in about 6 months. I had to pull the tank, drain it, replace the fuel pump, the filter, blow out the lines, clean the injectors and after that it ran well. Also replaced the drivers side window regulator, that is why the door panel is off. Car was originally a light or baby blue. Also the hood is not original to the car. It does not look like it has every been ina wreck so not sure why it has this hood but it looks like its been on it awhile. If you tune it up, change all the fluids, paint it and change the tiresyou would have a pretty cool daily for cheap. I was going to restore it myself but I have way too many projects at the moment. If you have an automotive YouTube channel and want some great content you can buy it and road trip it back to where you live for some excitement! This car sounds Badass! It had muffler delete with resonators, so it sounds unlike any Vette I have ever heard. It has a350TPI with auto transmission. It has a chip and a strait air intake and possibly more done to it but I don’t know the history. It feels fast as hellbut all these cars did but never were. I will try to be as honest as possible with what the car needs below. As you can see it does not need anything major but definitely some TLC. I am quite sure the mileage is not original but the odometer does work. The good: The body is very strait with only a few scuffs and scratches. The engine runs strong, transmission shifts well, no Check engine lights. Seems to go down the road well with no weird pulling or clunks. Seats are in very good shape as is the carpet. All glass is good. Windows go up and down. Brakes work well. AC is all hooked up and will take a charge but has a slow leak. Car comes with some extra wheels and parts. The Not so good…. Targa top is garbage, can only be used to keep the rain out when parked. It cannot be driven with it on. The dash is crap, as is the plastic inside, someone put that wood crap on and it left glue that I cannot get off. The instrument cluster displays the speed and the RPM’s but that is it, no other functions so it will need to be rebuilt or replaced. The door panels are not in great shape. The steering column has play in it side to side, but it comes with a good replacement. The cable for the hood release snapped off so I removed the latch pins so it would not get stuck down. That is why the hood gap at the doors is not perfect. It is good when the latches are installed. The power steering works but it is stiff, this may be from lack of use for a while, or it could be low on fluid. Have not checked it yet. One headlight does not pop up. There is no hood prop installed however I do have one.
