Vendor Notes:
Purchased by the current owner from Corvettes & Classics in Houston in 2009.
It is in exceptionally good condition mechanically, and appears to have had a high quality repaint just prior to purchase. Drives like a dream and all the power options work as they should – power steering, seats, windows and, most importantly, the convertible roof! The only work the current owner has completed aside from normal maintenance is, replace the rear leaf springs (car is so heavy they sag over the years) and replaced the two top lift hydraulic cylinders.
Was driven to/from the current owners workplace in Houston for three years, then shipped it home to Melbourne in 2012. Kept it in great usable shape by driving it from time to time in rural Victoria.
Only selling due to downsizing.
