Correct jack and handle is in the storage compartment.Car currently has finned aluminum direct bolt knock-off wheels.

An outstanding example of a well cared for highly optioned Corvette convertible. As far as I can tell, this is a no hit car. All bonding strips are perfect. Paint is in super condition with only a couple very minor blemishes that don't show in the pics. I'll be happy to send additional pics upon request.
