$500 Corvette? No way…..
What happens here
The presenter gets into the 1984 Corvette to perform an initial assessment and startup. He notes that the car is currently overheating and needs coolant. Despite the overheating, he successfully starts the engine, which he describes as 'purring like a kitten' and sounding 'mean.' He checks the oil pressure (not great) and notes the temperature is at 229 degrees Fahrenheit, aiming for 205-215 degrees Fahrenheit. He briefly expresses satisfaction with the car running for the purchase price.
Goal: Test the car's startup capabilities and assess immediate operational issues.
