I purchased our C3 from a fellow Corvette Club member in 2013, he had owned it since 2007.<br />
It has led a charmed life since being imported from Phoenix Arizona, being first registered in the UK in early 2006.<br />
<br />
We were typically doing around 2000 miles a year, including a tour around Ireland (1300+ miles without an issue), it never fails to put a smile on my face.<br />
<br />
With work and other commitments, the last 12 months we have only managed to do 200 miles, while I can happily sit and stare at the shape all day, it really deserves a new home that will use it more regularly than we have been able to do recently.<br />
Deep glossy Black with Red leather interior, has to be the best combination!<br />
<br />
Fitted with the Pace Car spoilers that were an option in 1979, smoked T tops, Factory Alloys with dummy spinners and wide BF Goodrich Radial T/A s (done around 2500 miles)<br />
<br />
The running gear has been sympathetically improved; fitted with a brand new, genuine GM Goodwrench crate motor in 2010, with a new Edelbrock carb, Performer Alloy Intake, Hooker Headers to a chambered system that sounds fantastic.<br />
Before arriving in the UK, the transmission was converted from the stock 3 speed Auto, to the popular 700R4 4 speed Overdrive transmission (overhauled in 2011). This is mated to a 4:11 LSD diff (overhauled in 2010). Despite running a 4:11 F/D, the Overdrive tranny allows it to cruise at 70MPH, turning only 2500RPM.<br />
<br />
As you would expect from a genuine Dry State and pampered car, the floors, Birdcage and Chassis are excellent.<br />
<br />
The interior was replaced in 2011 with new Leather seats (including new foams), Leather door cards and Carpet. In 2014 it was fitted with a retro style stereo with MP3/iPod interface (connection via the glovebox)<br />
Electric Windows, Tilt/Tele column, PAS etc<br />
<br />
Regularly serviced and maintained, last year it had a major service including transmission filter and oil and the diff oil (with correct LSD additive), it has just had its engine oil change for this year.<br />
<br />
There is a thick folder of invoices, both from its time in Arizona and since it landed in the UK, UK invoices total over 10,000 in parts and services.<br />
<br />
The car is located in Stockport, near Manchester. 11 miles from Manchester Airport and 3 miles from Stockport Central train station.<br />
