Looking at a 1982 Vette
I am looking at buying a car from an older lady she is asking 13K for the vehicle.
It has been sitting for a while it has 65,000 miles.
(she stopped driving it in the 90s only to car meets after that)
Upon driving the vehicle, I noticed the coolant reservoir was completely empty, and the water pump pulley is about to fall off (squeaking and vibrating bad)and leaking. Also, upon breaking, I found the pedal to be very spongy, and it pulls to the right when braking. When in the garage where she had it on carpet, there was both coolant and oil on the floor (looked like oil pan leaking aswell). And A/C does not work.
I understand that after sitting a while the seals give out, but do you think this will be a money pit and I should pass or is it okay for the price?
I also understand the reputation behind the “Cease-Fire Injection” and the issue that may come with that in the future.
