I am looking to sell my 1985 Corvette numbers matching L98 4+3 coupe. I have a car fax report to it and clean title in hand as well as a copy of the build sheet from the Corvette Museum. The car has a 95-96 body kit on it that includes front and rear bumper covers, lower front fenders and 95-96 correct body molding. The car has 97-99 Corvette wheels…. The passenger rear wheel is cracked. Cracked glass top that the previous owner “sealed” (terrible) When I bought the car in Houston, Texas mid-Feb 2009 I was told the he hit a curb and ran the car off the road. When trying to get the car back on the road he as revving it up and popped the timing chain. I was told it had a new clutch. The camshaft was missing (discovered when I got the car home). I have installed the camshaft, new throttle position switch, temp. sender, lifters, push rods, rebuilt heads, new distributor cap, new spark plugs, new spark plug wires, new fan relay, new radiator fan switch), iac switch, egr, and replaced the ecm. The heads were replaced due to after doing a compression test cylinder #3 had no compression (bent valve). I have the original heads included with the car. The car does start and run (high idle) but it backfires regularly). In talking with many mechanic friends some think I still have the vales set wrong others think some of the fuel injectors are clogged. I’ve learned a lot from this car, but I’m giving up. I have over $3,000 invested and I’m just not mechanically minded enough to go any further and lost my drive to get this car going.

I am attaching some pictures of the car in it’s current condition. I have removed 99% of the paint on it – figuring I would have had it running by now and would have been ready for primer and paint.
