1993 Chevrolet Corvette Description

My phone number is (404) 780-0520, if you have any questions, text is best, but if you leave a message I will call back, and I'll also reply to eBay messages and emails (email address is elijahkresses@gmail.com).
Below is the URL of a video of it running/revving (the most common request I've gotten from potential buyers), but even with headphones the quality isn't quite as good as it would be if sent by text/iMessage. That's condensation, by the way, not smoke.

For sale is my 1993 C4 Corvette with a cammed LT1 stroked to 383 cubic inches, and a built TCI Streetfighter TH700R4/4L60 transmission. I have receipts for just about everything I'm mentioning about the car -- some of them date back to 2001, but some are as recent as last week. It's got about $5600 invested in the engine, $3100 invested in the transmission, $1200 invested in the exhaust, and $1050 invested in the rear-end. It's a very fast car with the traction control off, but the A/C works great and it doesn't overheat in traffic. Pretty "streetable" car. It's summer time, the perfect time to take the targa top off and go for a cruise.
It's tagged, titled, and insured in my name. Runs and drives great.
Odometer reads 21,470 miles, but I believe it was replaced in 2002/2003. But, the engine was built in 2005/2006 (verified by receipts), the TCI Streetfighter transmission was put in in 2012/2013 (verified by receipts), and it was repainted in 2007 (verified by receipts), meaning the mileage on the engine, transmission, and paint job are quite low. I just bought it recently (selling it because while I love this car, my girlfriend is offering me a sweetheart deal on her NSX, which is my dream car); the previous owner owned it since 2003 and was meticulous with receipts (as am I).
It's not perfect, however -- the driver's seat has a ripped bolster (both seats have nice neoprene Corvette seat covers over them, but the passenger's seat is perfect), the interior is your typical 1993 General Motors condition interior (so, not great, but not awful). Due to the big cam, if it's not warmed up, it occasionally stalls in neutral or reverse (also dependent on whether or not you have the A/C on) due to the lower idle speed of those gears. Ohh, and the power steering pulley wobbles (the assembly is pretty cheap, but the pump is fine, and just the bearing is even cheaper). The radio doesn't work, either (typical of the Bose systems on these C4s, sadly). The paint is decent -- it's been repainted once (in the original color, black) and it was a decent job (but not perfect), but it's picked up a few scratches here and there since then. But, nicer paint than most 1993s.
As I fix the radio, spruce up the interior, and replace the power steering shaft bearing, my price will be less negotiable. The price is somewhat negotiable, feel free to make an offer (but I would *prefer* you come see and drive the car before you commit to buying it, it runs, drives, and looks great, but it *is* still a 25 year old GM product, and I don't want anyone feeling dissatisfied).
I'm open to trades, but not to 4-wheelers, g_ns, Japanese cruiser motorcycles, or boats. Your trade should have a similar value to mine. Other sports cars (another Corvette, a Mustang, a Camaro, a Trans Am, a Datsun, an MR2, a 300ZX, a 3000 GT, etc.) or sportbikes are preferred. Cash on top is even better. Probably not interested in trading "up" unless it's to a C5 Corvette, Jaguar XKR, Ducati (must be very clean), MV Agusta, or a driver-quality classic muscle car.

I'll include some random odds and ends I have for it as well -- an upgraded headlight harness (uses the original switch and plug to flip a relay, and draws power straight from the battery, so you get more power -- a nice upgrade even with factory sealed beam lights, but a must if you plan to go to H4 bulbs and separate housings), an extra gallon of the TCI Max Shift transmission fluid, an extra transmission pan gasket (a rubber one from TCI), and things of that nature.
Car also comes with the original targa-top ratchet and a spare set of keys.
