This 1972 Corvette is very original. motor. trans. rear end. interior. I even have the original carburetor. The car runs fine. the brakes are a little soft. but stops the vehicle with no problems. The steering has some play in the wheel and gets worse at speeds above 40 MPH. (make it hard to keep the front end under control) The engine has no leaks. and the transmission shifts fine. Overall it's a nice project car that is approx. 98% original. and can be driven while you work on it. The car has a current Calif. registration and I have a clear California title in my name.
