The trim tag indicates that the car was delivered new in Cortez Silver (986), and work in the early 1990s is said to have included removing the body from the frame to be refinished. Receipts from 2013 indicate that repairs to the body and paint were made by J&D Corvette of Bellflower, California, and the lenses and emblems were replaced at that time. The car is equipped with a black soft top, pop-up headlights, a front lip, chrome bumpers, fender vents, and dual exhaust outlets that terminate through the rear bodywork.
Gray 15″ Rally wheels with trim rings and hubcaps are mounted with Firestone Wide Oval red-line tires. The selling dealer notes play in the steering.
The car was delivered new with Gunmetal vinyl upholstery (416), which has been redone along with the carpets with materials sourced from Al Knoch Interiors. Features include an armrest console, cupholders, a push-button AM/FM radio, Corvette-branded floor mats, and a carpeted cargo area with a fire extinguisher. The plaque behind the shifter lists specifications including 435 horsepower, 460 lb-ft of torque, and an 11.00:1 compression ratio. The window felts were replaced in 2021, and the selling dealer notes that the window cranks and dust covers are loose.
A three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a 160-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer supported by auxiliary gauges in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 39k miles, approximately 500 of which have been added by the selling dealer. True mileage is unknown.
The 427ci V8 features triple two-barrel carburetors as well as chrome-finished valve covers and a triangular air-cleaner assembly. Service in mid-2022 is said to have consisted of rebuilding the carburetors and changing the oil.
The engine code and serial number are shown above, and additional stamps and casting numbers are pictured in the gallery below.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. More photos of the underside are presented in the gallery.
