Rev Up Motors owns this Corvette, unlike many of the "Dealers" out there. We invest our own money in quality vehicles. Unlike the BIG consignment "Dealers" out there that take everything and anything just to pay for their overhead and "Sales Staff". They charge the customer a fee to "Market" the vehicle. The consignment "Dealers" do not anything mechanically to the consignors vehicle. All of the vehicles at Rev Up Motors have been inspected for safety and for their mechanical operation. This is all done by a Licensed ASE Certified Master Technician.
The Exterior is exceptional condition. The Horizon Blue paint is very nice as you can see in the pictures and video.
The engine bay is very stock in appearance and clean! The original 283 CID sounds very nice and healthy. This Corvette runs and drives awesome. It starts, idles, drives and stops very nice. A keen eye will notice the aluminum finned valve covers, yes the original ones are boxed and come with the car. The tachometer does not function. Just found a NOS tachometer cable in the box after the video was taken. It is ready for the next owner to install.
The Interior is in nice condition as you can see in the pictures and video. The carpet does show some wear more on the drivers side. It comes with carpeting that was purchased in 1992, but was never installed.
The undercarriage is original. The frame is rock solid with no issues or soft spots visible. Can send a video of testing the frame front to back with a hammer and screwdriver.
In summary, this Corvette is a true survivor. The original owner was very diligent in maintaining this car to keep it as original as possible. It has been documented since day one! Vehicles can be restored over and over but they are only original once! This is an opportunity to be the next caretaker of this American Icon!
