1989 Chevrolet Corvette Additional Info:
I bought this car last fall with the intentions of keeping it for years to come, but it turns out not. I'm too big for this vintage of Vette! At 6'2" and 260lbs, I am a bit tight in the car, so Its time for something else.
In the time that I have owned this car, I have done many improvements and repairs to make it turn key reliable and a lot of fun to drive.
- New heads, removed the heads and had them rebuilt.
- While the car was apart, new water pump, alternator, and emissions gear.
- Newer battery.
- All new gaskets from block up, including the TPI intake.
- New steering wheel.
- New LEATHER seats.
- New doors seals.
- Serviced the digidash and installed new bulbs.
- Non-stock exhaust (a little louder).
I have driven this car for a few months and it runs like a champ! You can spend the rest of the summer enjoying it without the concerns of an older car and its reliability. Tires and wheels are in good shape and have a recent balance.
Now that's the good, of course there has to be some not so good. It has a couple of scratches that have been touched up, but they are there. The top is decent, but has a crack in the clear vinyl. It could use new weather stripping for the top. The stereo and ACdo not work. Everything else works as it should.
Overall, its a very nice car. I looked at a bunch of worn out rats until I found this one. Shiny and clean!
