It continued to be a fair weather, garage kept driver, with the new owner contributing another 2,000 miles or so along with his own meticulous maintenance efforts. Since 2014, this Corvette received a new battery, new starter, new tires, a proper factory style side exhaust system, new master brake cylinder, fresh spark plugs, regular oil changes, added passenger side mirror, hood release cable, dual fiberglass mono-leaf springs, Bilstein shocks, rear strut rods, and new u-joints.
