I had posted before that I came in contact with my father's 1989 Corvette Convertible. It was supercharged and he traded it in with about 28,000 miles on it.

I went to drive the car and the supercharger was pulling 6 psi, which was good. There was smoke burning off of the exhaust which ended up being a head gasket leak. The car had a major hesitation when I got on it. I was told that when they fixed the original problem, the head gasket was not put on properly.

The original problem I was told was, that because the car had only 59,000 miles on it, it does not look like it was driven much. Apparently all of the injectors were clogged and fuel burned a hole in one of the pistons, so they replaced it. This is probably when the head gasket was put on wrong supposably.

My dilemma is, does this car sound like to much of a risk to take on? I could afford to pull off the purchase but not keep dumping money into it?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 

Stay away from the car. That hole in the piston will be the place you dump your money.

 

Why do you say this. The piston is new.

Please let me know.

Thank you.
