    I will start here, for the cadalidik converter is still there and she is stock all the way. Remember that every thing you see is composite plastics and this is way you see spider cracks on the parts of this car. For they tied to lighted up the cars for better gas mileage at that time .For this Vett is as lovely as can be and she out doe's the imports every time.

    Remember when the car’s dash was like a cockpit, with no tablets, or backup screen?
    Love this Vette!!!!

      I remember only rich folks had this car and not being from money I was told that buy my father. He threw shade on this car before we knew what throwing shade was.

    The car has some flaws but it runs like a bat out of hell. I was really surprised at how fast that car was on the top of my head i think the car came with 240 HP. New tires look fantastic

    Nice Corvette price isn't too bad. Needs the pace car stickers. Horn not a big deal to fix.

  • @Rockzilla404
    @Rockzilla404 Рік тому +1

    When these were new dealers were marking them up thousands over the price and getting it because there were only five hundred built. And if it was an L82 four speed it was marked up more. I wonder if the decals that came with this one are hidden under a seat or floor mat.

    Awesome channel and vids!! Stupid question; why does the horn not work in most of these used cars? Is it one of the first things that goes with old cars? Again, I know, stupid question lol. I’m just surprised on how many don’t work.

      Horns used to work by a disc in the steering column. It was a metal spring loaded pin that would ride along a metal disc. When you pushed the horn button it would "ground" the It would get worn down and not make good contact.
      To fix it, you had to take apart the whole steering column from the inside which was not an easy job to do.
      Taking apart an older car steering column to fix the horn was like rebuilding a Transmision. Complicated if you didn't know what you were doing ....
