Worked on it some and I think it is going to go back for sale. It needs more body work than I was hoping for.
Fixed the hood hinge, that was also bent and reslotted. Got the throttle set back up. Cruise control cable is ruined. Fixed the ecm mount, fuse block mount, realigned one of the headlights. Found that the replacement side cover that was included is for an older 85-90ish model and does not match this one. Also cut some random wires out.

And couple of more pictures. Going to change tv cable on it and see if 3/4 are bad in a couple of days. Will have to make a temp mount for the cable as well.

And this is a first for me. I don't know how cheap you are, but at least put an actual tv cable in, instead of rigging up and ruining everything. It might have even lived fine if it was not dumping fluid everywhere.

Don't tempt me, or this thing will end up in pieces. But I am going to go ahead and throw an actual tv cable at it and see if this trans is actually blown for sure.

Would make a great track car.

I’ve seen a couple guys near me cut all the panels off and turns them into pretty nifty carts kinda like Roadkill and Cleetus McFarland. Seems to be the best thing to do with this gen of vette lol

This is rapidly leaning towards a part out.
After diving under it, it is barely worth half of what I paid for it. Can't believe there are people out there making this stuff.

On the plus side, I found 3rd gear. On the downside, tv cable attachment is stripped and it still pukes oil out when stopped.
