Description for Chevrolet Corvette 1989

89 Corvette Convertible

May consider some partial trades: Cab-over Truck Camper, now Plow for truck, arger wheels and 10-ply tires for a Chevy 3500 4WD truck, car trailer or enclosed trailer, 2003 or newer Toyota Corolla for my wife, tc…

The car currently has 114,000+ miles, nd is in good condition.

I am the fifth owner and have had the car for about 4 years. She has a clean Carfax. It has been my daily driver for much of that time. I’ve put about 23,000 miles since I bought it and have had very few little issues with her. She has never put me down.

It has the 350 v8 and 4 speed automatic transmissions with OD. These cars have most of the power options you can think of, ncluding: PS, ower Disk Breaks all the way around, W, C, nt Wipers, ower Locks, ower Mirrors, ower Seats, ower Antenna, nd Tilt and Telescopic steering wheel. Everything works except the heated mirrors. The car is pretty much stock, xcept exhaust, tereo and wheel & tires.

Convertible top and weather stripping is4 years old and in very good condition. The top has a tented rear soft-window.

The exhaust is newer front to rear and includes FlowMaster muffles (not load), ut sounds good. I have the original exhaust that is in good conditions, f wanted.

The tires and wheels are less than 2 years old, nd have about 7,000 miles on them. The brakes were replaced about 2 years ago.

The stereo was upgraded to a Kenwood deck with CD & USB & Bluetooth for hands-free phone and playing music from your smart phone and supports Pandora, tc…

This car runs and drives excellent, nd is fun to drive. The car looks great and gets a lot of attention. The car is in great condition. I would give her a rating of 85 - 90overall. The exterior is nice, ut it does have a few small scratches and some spider cracks on the rubber nose where the previous owner bumped something like a parking post at a convenience store or something. The interior is nice but does show minimal wear. The left bolster on the driver’s seat shows wear and has a small hole about the size of a quarter (common).

While these cars have relatively low horse power of 245HP, he 340 torque makes up for it. These cars are very responsive and hug the road exceptionally well. I am a fifty year old and don’t typically race the car, did take her down the Tail of The Dragon that runs down through the Great Smokey Mountains in Deals Gap, orth Carolina, nd has “318 corners in 11 miles”. Needless to say, hat this is a very popular stretch of road for Sports Cars and Motorcycles. Being I am a car enthusiast and all of the local police were currently assisting a stuck Simi-Truck, took full advantage and ran her wide open down the 11 mile stretch, nd I was exhilarated and shocked!!! No matter how hard I pushed, he would not break loose. She stuck to the road like she was on a rails.

The corvette has the 2.59 gear ration, hich is a high gear ratio and is great for fuel economy. I have gotten as high as 30mpg on a couple of occasions when on fairly level ground and I keep her to 50 – 55 mph. The gas mileage to work and back which includes a mix of Highway and City roads is typically 16 – 17mpg, nd on the Interstate cruising 70+ mpg she typically gets 22+ mpg.
