That's a high amperage breaker, most likely for alternator or stereo.. Follow the wiring.. That cars dirty !!! Clean it.. Stickers ate probably from the stall.. Enjoy your new car!

It probably needs a tune for the converter,the PCM notices too much slip and protects the trans from damage by not letting it shift.

BTW wash that car

Looks like a good deal to me. Just take some quarters and pressure wash the engine bay and body. Those Vette covers will fit any LS1.
