This
is a good honest reliable car with no known mechanical issues and looks as good
up close as it does in the pictures. I
recently completed a weeklong 1850 mile road trip down the Natchez Trace, through the Smokey Mountains, and up the Blue Ridge Parkway, the car ran
excellent and had no issues. It runs, handles, and performs great for its age. It’s not perfect, it is 30 years old, but if you are looking for a great
summertime cruiser, or want to travel across the country without having to
invest time or money to make a car reliable, this is the one.
To
prepare the car for the trip I replaced the following; all coolant hoses, spark
plugs, wires, rotor, cap, ICM, temp sensor, thermostat, belt, wipers, IAC
valve, MAF, battery, starter, and fresh Mobil 1 with Z-Max added. The car has been well maintained and I have
the previous owner’s records and receipts plus all my receipts that will go
with it. The manual 4+3 trans with overdrive works great and I averaged 22.4
mpg on the 1850 mile road trip.
The
car has several upgrades; a beautiful set of 86 Corvette wheels with B.F.
Goodrich tires (80% thread life left), new 86 Corvette steering wheel (thicker
than original), new leather shift boot and knob, new Corvette floor mats, and
OEM mufflers installed by the previous owner. The interior shows well, the seats are saddle and brown cloth, no rips
or tears. I have replaced the bottom sport seat cushions with standard cushions
which are wider and more comfortable for my arse. The electrical functions of
the sport seats work, but the air bladders do not. A new seat of neoprene seat covers with the
Corvette logo completes the interior. The smoked targa top is easy to remove and
seals tight when installed.
It
has been a southern car most of its life, I purchased it from an elderly
gentlemen out of Pennsylvania. The car
was repainted approximately eight years ago by the original owner as to what I
have been told by the previous owner. The paint looks fantastic and was done right, car shows very well up
close. Only known non functioning systems are the
cruise control (not sure why) and the horn.
This
is a fun car and checked off one of my bucket list items (road trip in a
Corvette), now I am on to the next item on the list.
Actual
mileage is 97, 669 (subject to change), car is located in Dayton Ohio. If you have any questions or would like
additional detail or pictures, please call or text 937-608-7919 (do not contact
me with unsolicited services or offers)
A
$500 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of auction close and balance
due within 7 days. Monies must clear
before any title work is completed or delivery arranged (buyer is responsible
for pick-up or transportation).
