Vehicle Detail
Up for sale today with much sadness is my 1987 corvette. I have driven and owned my fair share of cars and for the money I don't think that you can find a car that is even close to as fun to drive as the C4 corvette but if you are looking at this listing chances are you already know this. I spent 2 years trying to find a car that had most of its major components working as well as a car that was high optioned for the time this car has the rare Delco Bose stereo, digital climate control electric seats and windows mirrors and the clear Targa roof and most importantly and Atuo transmission but why an auto in a sports car, these cars from 1984 to 1989 had a 4 + 3 trans that always had some sort of problem while the Autos were problem free. This car is in nice shape for a 25+ year old car but its shows its age in places. The car will also need a good motor tune up and it does have a lifter tic but it still runs and drives fine. If you would like to view the car please send me an email with you name and phone number. Please read the below overview. Exterior: The paint is in ok shape with some problems the front bumper has been painted but is paint is dull but it still looks good unless you are on top of it. The rear quarter and the rear bumper has nicks and dings and could use paint otherwise the paint is in good shape for a 25 + year old car.Interior: When I purchased the car it had seats that were in poor shape and carpet that had seen too much sun so I had to replace them. I found seats that were recovered re padded and had rebuilt motors. The carpet was taken from the same donor car and while it is not new it is in better shape then the old carpet. The interior is taken care of and I will supply an extra set of door panels as well I did not do them because the door panels are still in good shape but I wanted a set anyway. Driveline: The motor starts every time with no issue with only 82000 miles. The car when I got it had a old set of headers that had to go along with holes in the front and year y pipes with I have replaced the mufflers were done by last owner. The auto trans shifts like new with no problems even in the cold. BUT the car will need a good tune up and THE CAR HAS A LIFTER TIC in the rear passenger side cylinder. Otherwise Id daily drive if I could.Electronics: As most of you know the dash boards in these cars almost never work until they are rebuilt which this one has been and works like a charm has not let me down yet. The radio works most of the time but does go in and out( id have it redone). The digi climate control works well and the AC and heat work well. Lights go up and down with no problems and the turn signals work ( lever needs to be tightened).Problems: While this car is in good shape it still needs some paint work. Id suggest plugs and wires and tighten up the header bolts and have the lifter tic looked into I was told by my local mechanic that it could be as simple as a lose bolt or a set of lifters. These are the Items I know need attention but the car is so close to being done it won't take much to bring it there. So why is he selling the car that he spent 9000 on and spent 2 years looking for, well I just don't use it enough and I don't have the time to finish it. I hope it will find a new home with someone who can enjoy it and drive it like it should be driven.
