1997 Chevy Corvette Red Coupe!
I bought this car in West Covina, California in March 2008. I purchased it on autotrader.com from a woman who lived in southern California. I flew to California and drove it back to Montana. It had 63,800 original miles when I bought it. She was only the second owner, and the car had been in California its whole life until it came to Montana. It has also been garaged its whole life and only driven when the weather was nice. I feel that it is a very reliable car, and I always felt comfortable hopping in this car and taking it anywhere. I just went to Pierre, SD this last August. It was a flawless trip that totaled 2,000 miles roundtrip and I averaged 30 miles per gallon.

Few Imperfections

- There is a crack in the front fascia (front bumper cover) under the left turn signal. The underneath of the front fascia had a few cracks & scrapes on it when I got it. (see pictures) NOTE: I have a new front fascia , primer in color, in the plastic from GM - Part #10433080. Would be willing to negotiate a price if interested. Is NOT included with the purchase of the car.
- There is also some light bubbling on the inside drivers door panel/armrest. (see pictures)
This is a very nice, clean car that runs and drives awesome! All of the mechanical and electrical components work great. Everything is stock GM parts - nothing is custom - all original. In addition, I have some memorabilia from the original owner. The new owner will receive this memorabilia (see pictures). I also have a 3-ring binder with all of the receipts and documentation that I have done to the car.
