Congrats again on the car, 427’s have a special place in my heart. I’ve had mine for a few years now, it’s a similar 2013, bought it with only 2500 miles.
A couple things you may (or may not!) have missed in your research: keep an eye on idle speed oil pressure when hot, get an oil analysis after every oil change, and in case it hasn’t already been done, replace the clutch master cylinder. When the master cylinder went on my car, it took me totally by surprise considering the low mileage. Forum member @JABCAT was kind enough to help by letting me know about the reimbursement GM offered for replacement of this item if it was still within the 10 year “in service” window.
Maybe I’ll see you around NJ, you’ll probably hear me before you see me 😂

I was not aware of idle speed oil pressure.
Good suggestions, as it’s much appreciated. The clutch master cylinder was just replaced by the seller.
Yours sounds BAD ***! I’ll keep an EAR out for you!
