    Default New ride for a while

    1993 Corvette, 68k miles, auto trans

    It was my grandpa's car (now it just sits in my grandmas garage)

    It needs some maintenance items, tires, front brakes, fluids and a lot of TLC. I plan on putting some miles on it this year.

    Anything I should look out for as far as wear goes? It has had a few repairs recently (optispark, ignition module, fuel pump). I plan on doing spark plugs because I think they are at least a decade old.

    Nice daily. Seems like the common issues have been taken care of.

    If you plan to list it, pm me. I might know of someone interested.

    Thanks. Not planning on selling it anytime soon.

    Any suggestions on mods? I'm thinking about mufflers but I want to keep the stock tips. I think the only mod it has is a trans shift kit.

    Despite all the squeaks and rattles (being around 25 yrs old) it is pretty fun to drive.

    Might need tires if they are hard like hockey pucks? Can't go wrong on some mufflers...maybe some 10 series Flows to open it up and drop some weight.

    Oh yeah, every LT1 needed a CC306 Comp Cam..Those just sounded badass..... i think they were a 230/244 Duration piece that gave a killer idle!!

    The tires are cracked and shitty. It's been sitting since about 2008.

    10s might sound good now but if the cats go away, they'll be a bit obnoxious
