Hey everybody!
I have been a guest on these forums for a while now and I finally purchased a 1997 black c5 6spd this morning. I purchased from a private seller and will be waiting for the check to clear, should have title and temp tags etc. cleared up by tues. or weds.
I need advice there are many of the standard nuanced with the car, such as no included owners manual... some minor wear on the seals in the coupe roof and hatch. MANY small dings and chips in the paint and its going to need a new front left tire(you can see one of those "bubbles" in it(the other three are good condition.They are Nitto high perf. tires (555s?) i believe and they still have LOTS of tread on them, and (one) of the tire pressure sensors will need to be replaced, also needs a maryland inspection, the good things are it has an excellent condition glass roof ( the original body color roof was dropped by owners wife [:@]and had a chip out of the corner) transmission is super stiff still and clutch feels tight, it has had all the recalls done except for I believe the oil pressure sender (reads 80 psi) Oh yea and did I mention the biggest plus, its a corvettte[8D]. I couldn't pass this car up for the price (under 14,500) but I just want to know exactly how much I may need to know anything in peticular. I know the car needs someTLC and definetly a good detailing but I am aware of the work it needs andcan'twait to get started!I allready have purchased touch up paint and plan on ordering a clay bar... someday when the car is heavily modded (perhaps show car) I plan to repaint it...
