The term fully restored, when not done by a redneck, usually includes key terms to advise you whether it was dissected and blasted or dissected and dipped. Rotisserie is usually the best. Then we get to whether panels were changed NOS, leaded or glassed. Whether the interior was factory or custom remade. Whether it is numbers matching and rebuilt or needs rebuilt or has been changed. Whether the suspension was upgraded and brakes are now all disc. Whether the glass body had mount points cracked and repaired or solid. Whether the finish was dried out and new panels added or old ones were re-glassed. Was it repainted to code including all the original cracks and crevices. Did or does the harness require patchwork. Are the guages ans electronics fully Functional?
It's a Corvette. Panels are not leaded. They are glassed because that is what it is made of.



Whether the suspension was upgraded and brakes are now all disc.
Um, first, if it is upgraded, it is not a restoration. Restoration means returning it to OEM (but as you can see, the definition, just between you and me, is not clearly definable) hence the term "restore".

next, again, it's a Corvette. It comes with 4 wheel disc brakes.
