Surf...I you're really serious about buying a car, especially a Corvette, I would highly recommend you get an OilFax report done on it. $35 and you'll know how the engine parts are wearing. There's no better way other than tearing it down.

I tried it and liked my report...it...

I have dealt with this guy before...his stuff always matches his description and he's prompt. This might not be for your year ('86?) but you may want to email him and see if he has what you need.
You may want to get your oil analyzed by a lab. I just tried the service from OILFAX.COM and like it. FYI--I discovered the service from my cousin who owns the business. He owns a major Porsche speed shop in Tucson, AZ. I get nothing by referring you to this and wouldn't do so unless I thought...

No way it will go for $18k. Reserve is probably around $30-35k. What a looker... :D
Well, I hate to say it but knowing what I know now and having driven my TT a fair amount (14k miles in 2 years) I would not buy it again if I was planning on driving it daily or wanted to go on extended road trips. I bought mine planning to drive it daily but it just didn't work out that way...
If you're looking for a car to take to the occasional show and out for Sunday rides get the TT. If you're looking for a car you'll drive more often and race and go on cross country trips consider the C5. I find myself holding back sometimes because it's a Callaway and I don't want to break it...
I noticed a ricer in an Integra trying to get beside me one day in Lynnwood. He floored me by yelling across traffic "Is that a Callaway?" When I nodded yes he gave me a thumbs up and then took off. It kinda embarrassed me that a ricer could spot what most Vette owners can't.
Yours is a teal blue Aerobody, right? If so, that's one of the cars in there.
I'll bring my copy to work tomorrow and scan it if nobody else has and send to you, Stan.
