Unless they possess the knowledge to bring it back from the dead, alongside the right tools and a good amount of money, no car enthusiast should spruce up their life with a machine that has any serious issues. But if you feel like doing precisely so, then how about a new-gen Chevrolet Corvette?
A pristine copy will set you back just under $100,000 as long as you go for the Stingray, and over that sum when it comes to the track-focused Z06 and the first-ever electrified 'Vette, the E-Ray, which also happens to feature all-wheel drive in a premiere.
The World Wide Web is filled will various examples looking for new homes, so no matter what color you are into or how many miles you want it to have, chances are that perfect Corvette C8 is only a few mouse clicks away. And if you feel the need to breathe new life into one, then the pictured Stingray might be precisely what the doctor ordered, though you shouldn't be afraid of elbow grease.
Besides giving it a proper hose down to get rid of that dirt and detailing the interior, which has seen far better days, you will also have to take care of other aspects if you plan on doing any driving in it. But what's the reason behind the sad condition of this mid-engine and rear-wheel drive sports car? That would be flood damage. It's unknown whether it was fresh or salty water that left its mark on it, yet you should know that each comes with its own set of headaches.
In addition to the water damage, this Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, which is a 2022 model in the 3LT trim level, is said to have some issues up front, too. As you can imagine, the Copart listing, as that's where it is advertised, doesn't say much about it. We don't even know how many miles it has clocked since it rolled off the line, nor where and how water got the best of it, as the only things mentioned here are the estimated value of a pristine copy, which is just over $85,000, and the fact that you will find it in Corpus Christi, Texas.
We'd recommend an in-person inspection if you're looking to purchase it, as you may spot some things that could make the difference between buying it or saying no. Mind you, anyone who's going to make it theirs will face many sleepless nights before being able to enjoy that punchy V8 motor on a casual drive, but that's our guess, as it could be ready to hit the road again with only a few small repairs. So, does it look like your next fun-to-drive ride?
