1986 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Description

My father bought this car new in the summer of 1986 and gave it to me in 2001. It's a reliable driver, in need of some love. Brakes, tires, rims and black canvas top are new. AC, power steering pump, and brake booster need attention. On the cosmetic side, it's got 30 year old paint, interior needs help, steering wheel should be recovered and the weather stripping should be replaced.
It was in one accident, back in the 1980's and repaired at the time. Someone pulled out in front of my dad and hit one of the front corners. I can't tell which side it was and the pop up headlights work fine, which is a danger with front end repairs.
Sad to see this go, but I have a teen who needs something practical.
Additional Info based on questions I received:
LCD dash cluster works just fine. Aftermarket Pioneer head unit (pre bluetooth andiPhones), pioneer component speakers in front and Pioneer 3 way speakers in back. Amp is under passenger seat. 4+3 is in good shape. Only thing done to the tranny was oil changes on the manual and fluid and filter changes on the 2 speed overdrive. No problems. OD button sticks a little but works. Exhaust replaced a few years ago but very few miles on it. Clutch fine. It drives fine. Garage kept. I replaced the "bread box" passenger side dash pad and replaced with a flat panel. I'll send the bread box if you want it.
I have the original window sticker, owner's manual.
