The car was garage‑kept and running for years and then started occasionally until around 2010. It then remained stored under carport until 2023, when it was moved to St. Augustine and kept under a car cover. A mechanic turned the engine over about a year ago, and it received new spark plugs and a new battery at that time. The engine still turns freely.
This Corvette has a rebuilt title issued in 1992, long before modern salvage issues. It passed inspection decades ago and has been road‑legal ever since. Nothing recent, nothing hidden — fully disclosed and priced accordingly.
If you’re looking for a straight, complete C3 with the right options and a believable storage history, this is a strong candidate.

Factory L82 350ci V8
