It looks pretty clean for sitting for years. $1000 looks like a steal.
Don't forget the fuel filter (passanger side inside rail) as part of your tune up.
Keep the wheels on the ground. If you want to see how fast it will go....take it to the track not some backroad. Want to race....take it to the track. Too many have suffered tragic accidents in Corvettes and other cars because they did not think. Please don't be one of them.
The 85 may be a little old, but it will still move out and looks good even today!
If you PM your email address, I will send you several word files that I have put together over the years that apply to the 85.
Here is what the 85 looks like with ZO6 polished aluminum wheels.
