Purchased
Not the wheels shown in the FB Ad. That one wheel ended up being cracked, hence the leak. Spike starts out early earning the title of "Spike, the Junkyard Dog"
I needed a project car in Utah, so I bought this 2019 Grand Sport Corvette (C7) that had a salvage title on Christmas Eve 2022. It had been stolen twice and caught on fire once. Completely rebuilt it, replacing just about everything.
History
Found on Facebook Marketplace. It did clearly state that it had a salvage title. These are the photos from the ad.
