Another new Texan

[GrayLaser]

While I have owned many Corvettes in my life...........it has been over twenty years since my last one. This is a white 1996 Coupe with saddle leather interior. Just like the 1970 Corvette that my wife and I went on our honeymoon with in 1975.............yes we are old. This car is immaculate on the outside and only has 37000 original miles................however the price was right because it is a flood car...........I now have it running and driving just fine and have only a few more issues to sort out ..........like the Bose Stereo...........will hope I can use you folks as a resource........thanks.......Bill

-Bill[/QUOTE] Yes...........unfortunately this car was flooded up to the seats............everything was drained, flushed
and refilled before it was attempted to start............started up but still had many issues to sort through...........had only 37k on it and the body and paint was perfect so it has been worth the effort. I have the last few parts to hopefully finish enroute to me as I write........we will see.....

Very interesting, would be a shame to just scrap them out, glad others are bringing life back into this cars and save them. Is there a lot of electrical issues under the dash, inside doors of course wiring harnesses in general.
