Please enjoy the 190+ PICTURES INCLUDING IMMACULATE, RUST FREE UNDERSIDE BELOW DESCRIPTION.AND PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ FULL DESCRIPTION AND VIEW ALL THE DETAILED PICTURES!!! IF BUY IT NOW IS USED, I WILL PAY THE SHIPPING ANYWHERE IN THE LOWER 48 STATES WITH A SHIPPING COMPANY THAT I HAVE USED FOR MANY YEARS WITH NO ISSUES THAT IS LICENSED, INSURED, AND BONDED , OR UP TO $700 OF THE COST OF A PLANE TICKET FOR YOU TO FLY OUT AND DRIVE THIS BEAUTY HOME. YOU WILL NOT FIND A NICER, BETTER MAINTAINED, IMMACULATE, NEEDS NOTHING Corvette Grand Sport Heritage with 6 speed manual and such low miles!! This the best deal on ebay in the past 2 years. Priced t sell this week. Only selling as I just purchased a 2017 Shelby GT350R and I have no more indoor space. This car is being stored in a storage unit as I do not want to let it sit outside in the elements. This is one of the cream puffs you've waited a long time to find. It is an immaculate, garage kept Grand Sport with original owners manuals and leather case, original 26 page dealer full color brochure, laminated original window sticker, and even original built sheet that has also been laminated. The 1467 manual transmission coupes are the ONLY Grand Sports that came with the bulletproof, all aluminum, hand assembled, forged bottom end LS3 motor and dry sump oiling system. All other Grand Sports (automatics coupes and all convertibles) have a regular assembly line LS3 with cast bottom end and regular oiling system. Also, the manual transmission coupes (not convertibles) came with a factory engine oil cooler, transmission cooler, and differential cooler. What does all this mean? 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and quarter mile in 11.8 seconds using factory launch control bone stock! Even under the harshest of conditions, these cars deliver and are incredibly bulletproof. It is hard to find one of these that has never been raced, modified, or taken to a track, this one has NEVER been to a track or raced in any way! It has been OCD maintained with an open wallet its whole life by a mature retired GM master tech in his 60's. This has been always garaged and maintained to beyond OCD standards. I am very picky of what I choose to deal with and my 100% positive feedback from those that have purchased from me over the past 11 years here on eBay reflects. Look at the other Grand Sports available....any underside pictures? A thorough, detailed description? How are all the weatherstrips? Road rash on the wheels? Up close pictures of EVERY inch of the car? You get what you pay for.... this Corvette needs nothing and everything has always been done before needed as preventative maintenance, rather than because the car needed it, and done properly. Owned and maintained by a senior GM Master tech from 1000 miles until 12K miles. Oil is clear and only Mobil One synthetic has been used since new, coolant is clean with proper Dexcool. This is a no worry car, unlike the others out there. Pride of ownership is evident everywhere on this beauty. Buy It Now for $34,900 and I will pay for the cost of shipping anywhere in the lower 48 states, or up to $700 towards the cost of a plane ticket for you to fly out and drive this beauty home and enjoy a little vacation in sunny, warm Palm Springs, CA. Whom ever hits Buy it Now, get this beautiful, needs nothing Corvette Grand Sport Heritage with 6 speed manual, 13K miles, and FREE shipping anywhere in the lower 48 or $700 towards the cost of a coach plane ticket from anywhere. Don't miss out and regret it later, you will never find another one this nice! The well maintained, low mileage manual transmission Grand Sport Heritage Coupes are getting harder and harder to find as most have been wrecked, butchered, raced, or gotten ahold of by kids, don't miss out on this one, and regret it later. In my opinion, these are the collectibles of tomorrow. Look at how many 20 year old cars are selling now for double of what they were new... Thank you for viewing my auction. After being disappointed by all the ratty other Corvettes out there and looking at this one, please feel free to message me. This is a 7 day auction and it will sell and you will not find another like it for such a great price with so many great options and such low mileage. Most of my vehicles end up selling before listing ends due to time on the Buy It Now where you get it immediately!! No document fees or taxes collected by me. Don't miss out, this GS will sell, hopefully to you. This Corvette is an absolute cream puff and drives absolutely exceptional, and is excellent through out. It is rare to find one with such ow miles that is all stock except for K&N air intake which ads an additional 20 HP, and 27 ft lb of torque on top of the stock 436 HP/428 FT LB. Most of these have been butchered, raced, and driven by kids. This car has always been in dry CA climate, and always garaged. Only hand washed and waxed and it shows!! Paint looks wet when it is dry. Look at the refection's in the paint in my pictures below. I took some in the bright sun and some when the sun went down so that you can appreciate the beauty of this incredible an rare color, Jetstream Blue Metallic. It looks, starts, runs, smells, and drives like new. Suspension and steering is tight with no wandering or looseness, no clunks when going over bumps, brakes like new, immaculate interior and underside. All maintenance items fresh. Never eaten in, smoked in, spilled in, or interior soiled, and even still smells like new. Floor mats and towels have covered the immaculate interior since new. No worn down seat leather or foam here. No pets or young children have ever been in it. No rips or stains anywhere. There is not a nicer, Corvette Grand Sport Heritage with 6 speed manual available, I can honestly say that, because there are none other like this car anywhere. Most you find will have chips, leaks, scratches, banged up bodies, chips on the edges of doors, and wear all over. Look around, you'll waste a great deal of time and then see what I am talking about. Almost all Grand Sports you find too are automatics that don't have the hand assembled, forged motor, and dry sump oiling system. If you want a project, please buy one, as this is not it. There is plenty of junk and high mileage ones out there if you want a cheapo that needs a huge amount of expensive work, but will never equate to a babied car such as this that has been properly preserved and maintained. Buy one of the junkers, change the oil 5X after running it, and it still won't be clean and never will be. This one is clean and always has been, If you want a turn key Corvette that will do what you want it to, be reliable, very quick and comfortable, needs nothing, basically like new, you just found it. All the maintenance items have been taken care of (and always done before needed). I have never had a person buy a vehicle from me that has not been more than happy. I deal with only cream of the crop vehicles. Please take the time to allow the 190+ detailed photos to load, it IS WELL WORTH the wait, and PLEASE read the entire description before asking questions (I know it is long, but I wanted to cover all bases) If you are serious, I know you will read every word, and look at every picture in detail. This is the type of person I am looking for, for a quick and easy sale. I am very easy to deal with. Feel free to message me for my phone number or send me yours and we can discuss every aspect of this amazing Grand Sport. This car is priced for a quick sale to the discriminating enthusiast/collector that appreciates all the details, cleanliness, and correctness of a MINT manual trans Grand Sport Heritage. Everything correct on this car for both finish and function, so you don't have to do a thing. Ready to show, play or to track. Perfect advertising vehicle for your business too and can even be a tax write-off if used as such. Can be used in parades, proms, etc Shipping included to your door by a licensed, bonded and insured auto transport company that I have used for years with no issues or you are welcome to fly into the Palm Springs International Airport and I will pick you up and you can drive this gem home and enjoy a little vacation!! I would not hesitate to have my daughter or wife drive this cross country!! If you choose this route I will pay up to $700 towards your travel expenses to get to me to pick up the car in person in beautiful Palm Springs, CA. Price is a Buy it Now of $33,900 to sell immediately and included to your door shipping anywhere in the lower 48 states. No taxes, document fees, or games like other charge, collect, and play. This car will sell, don't miss out, you will never find another like it in this condition, mileage, with all these options and rare color. 12194 Corvettes were built in 2010, of those, only 3707 were Grand Sport Coupes, of those, only 1467 had the hand assembled, dry sump LS3 engine and 6 speed manual transmission, of those, 141 were painted Jetstream Blue Metallic, of those, only 45 of them had black/titanium interiors, of those, only 24 of them had the Heritage package, of those, only 17 had Competition Gray wheels. There is no further break downs between other options such as Duel Mode exhaust (which this car has), or other options, but there is a chance this is a one of 1 built exactly like it if it was broken down further such as side stripe color, or various other options. Needless to say, I doubt you will ever find another even similar! It is the nicest Grand Sport with 6 speed manual you will find. Why save a few dollars and buy someone else's problems and have to put thousands of dollars into something you just bought? No check engine lights or warning lights illuminated on the cluster. upon start up, or while driving. This incredible Corvette has always been driven only on nice days since new and garage kept. 90% freeway miles and only on nice weather trips. Pride of ownership and maintenance shows in every aspect of this car! Never in the snow, salt, or humid areas. The car from top to bottom is immaculately clean which is very evident, including underside, door jambs, and engine box. A machine buffer or machine car wash this truck has never seen. No faded lights, emblems, or trim, like all the others out there. Most have chalky weather beaten trim, emblems, weather-strips and moldings, these are all really nice and still supple. Car comes with original Heritage carpeted floor mats (and towels covered them) that have kept carpet like new. Not driven on gravel roads or in the mud or any type of inclement weather. Underside alone speaks volumes about this car. I own a high end automotive shop that has been in business for 20+ years and am VERY particular with all vehicles I choose to deal with. Car has never been abused, raced, damaged or driven by kids, etc, since built. All original body panels look great and paint is like a mirror. No rust, scrapes, dents, dings, scratches, and no damage on the immaculate original 18X9.5 front and 19X12 rear Competition Gray wheels ($395 option, see window sticker for all standard and options on this car). This car is absolutely exceptional through out. Body panels and paint are amazing. You can literally shave in the reflection of the paint!! In my 20+ years in the automotive business, I have rarely seen, owned, or driven a nicer built and well vehicle that is so fantastically preserved and taken care of. I have owned over 1000 Mustangs, Shelby's, Big Block's, Boss's, Pantera's, Saleen's, Corvette's, Roush's, Cobra's. Lightning's etc, mostly collector models, and rarely see a vehicle (of ANY type) kept in this condition. Suspension and steering is smooth and not bouncy or twitchy when driving down the road, or on the freeway. Does not wander when on freeway. This Corvette Grand Sport Heritage is appraised and insured for $40K on a collector car policy and it is $388 per year for full coverage and agreed value of $40K. Most insurance companies will do the same for you and insure it as a collector vehicle and it is only going to continue to climb in value if kept in this condition. Fully loaded and amazingly clean from top to bottom. No surprises or disappointments with this car. Jetstream Blue Metallic Clearcoat paint shines like new and has been waxed regularly (you can literally shave in it) and always garaged. It is drop dead gorgeous. Much more durable and deep looking than today's water base paints. Look at the reflections (hard to photograph with the glare from the reflections, so I took some pictures in the sun, and some in the shade). Never been put on a lift incorrectly, never been bottomed out. Look at all the aluminium components underneath, no gouges from bottoming it out. Door jambs, engine box, wheels, underside, trunk jambs also kept clean and waxed. It looks like it was toothbrush detailed since new. It has been kept in this manner since new. Look at the underside and frame rails. Many original marking and stickers still visible on underside. All original factory tinted privacy glass with GM logos. No dents, dings,or scrapes anywhere on the body that I can see. The only flaws I can even think of, most would never even notice...there are a few spots through out where there were very small minor chips that have been touched up with original GM match touch up paint and compounded (less than 5 and I doubt you will find them unless I point them out), rear tires should probably be replaced in the next 5K miles or so (car on its second set of tires due to age, not miles), and there was an insurance claim on the vehicle when it had 1K miles on it when it was less than 3 months old. Car has a clear California title with previous salvage history in the corner of it. What happened was original owner took the car in for it's 1st oil change at a little over 1K miles and a technician from the GM dealership backed into this car while it was sitting there, running, with another vehicle ( a Malibu) . No one was in the Corvette when this happened, but the driver's side steering wheel airbag blew as it was hit right at the sensor mounted behind the front bumper.. There was no damage to the body , suspension, or frame. In fact, the bumper didn't even crack, it was just scuffed. The owner of the car was so finicky, that he refused to let the dealership replace airbag and remove and repaint bumper. GM tech of 27 years that backed into the car ended up buying the car in order to keep his job. Dealership still ran the claim through their insurance. He kept the car until last year and 12K miles and has babied it to the utmost degree. It was fixed properly with new GM airbag and the dealership removed the front bumper and repainted in to perfection. I have had the car on my lift and even removed the bumper and can not tell in any way that any bolt or any component has been disturbed in any way. Everything looks factory. It goes down the road properly and straight. There is nothing else I can think of that this car needs or any thing else to really consider a flaw....No other paintwork anywhere on the body that I can see or know of. Once again, no dings, gouges, scrapes, or dents. Front and rear bumpers are immaculate with no dimples, scuffs, or scrapes. You rarely will see an interior this immaculate. No wind noise even at over 80 MPH. Again, I am VERY picky (I am told the pickiest person that all of my friends know) and believe in being 100% honest about each and any flaw or issue I can find and I go over vehicles very thoroughly. I know myself, that I want to know everything about something I am buying before I buy it, so I treat others in the same manner and respect. This car looks and drives like a 3K mile, 1 year old, well taken care of Corvette to put it into perspective. The Corvette Grand Sport is nicer, drives much better, and way better maintained and kept detailed over any other GS with a manual trans out there in this price range. Everything works like it should. Last oil change done 200 miles ago. I have put over 500 miles on this Corvette and there have been zero issues. I have owned and driven many Corvettes and this is by far my favorite. It is very fast, smooth, and isn't all over the road and rattly like the older ones. I in fact, prefer driving this car over my Z06 that I bought new. Much more street friendly, has the same brakes, looks and suspension, and has a removable hardtop unlike the Z06 and ZR-1's. Again, please take the time to look at the 190+ detailed pictures. Car is very clean through out and a thrill to drive. Look at the others out there for sale, they don't compare to this one at all. NOT at all.......You get what you pay for. Ask questions if you have them if you are serious, I am very easy to deal with, and am happy to talk on the phone about this impeccable car from top to bottom. I am very easy to deal with and very passionate about cars maintained this immaculately as you can probably tell by now if you are still reading!! Car is available for inspection and can be driven or shipped anywhere. Out of country buyers welcome too, if you arrange shipping from the Long Beach Port. I can have the vehicle delivered to the Long Beach Port, included with BUY IT NOW. Clear CA title in hand. Currently registered and insured in CA until the end of January, 2018. It has spent all of its life in nice weather, and never in snow, salt, or humidity. I have used several reputable shipping companies that are insured and bonded over the years with no issues, and will be happy to arrange for a serious buyer with BUY IT NOW at my expense or you can fly in and drive it home and enjoy a little vacation and I will take up to $700 off for travel expenses. Don't wait, once this Grand Sport is scooped up, it is gone and you will never find another like it!! I am confident this car will sell fast at this price. Every time someone uses BUY IT NOW when not even talking to me first, I ask them what prompted them to do so? The answer is usually " your long, detailed description (small novel), and all the underside shots!" I want people to know exactly what the are getting, so I spend the time to describe everything I can think of to eliminate any unsure-ness. I have never had a person purchase a vehicle from me sight unseen that has not been more than happy with their purchase. My 11 year, 100% positive feedback given to me by others that have bought from me over the years reflects other people's purchase experiences with me on eBay. I deal with the cream of the crop vehicles so you don't have to do a thing when you get it, unlike the others for sale that you will surely need to spend money on immediately. Buy a vehicle from me and get a no hassle, hop in and enjoy right away car. If you have a question or any doubt, feel free to message me with your phone # and I will call you myself, even on a weekend or evening.... This is a beautiful car and PERFECTLY balanced as far as looks, safety, economy, handling, braking, comfort, reliability, sound, and performance!! The duel mode exhaust is downright awesome. Quite when you want it to be and just barks when you get on it! Re-live your younger years with something you didn't have the means to buy new or replace one you used to own and regret selling, or add another to your collection of other worthwhile vehicles. Look at the interior, trunk, weatherstrips, emblems and trim ...when is the last time you saw everything as clean such as this?? This is the most balanced Corvette you will ever drive. Transmission is smooth as silk with no grinds or slips. Car is very easy to drive. It is much more solid feeling to me than the newer ones, easy to maneuver and park, more comfortable, and does not have all the extra sensors, and issues seeing out of like the new ones. As stated before, it will only continue to climb in value if kept in this condition. Any questions, please message me and I will respond promptly. This is a like to sell, not a must sell, or a desperation sale!! I have 30+ high end vehicles in my collection, so it is not the end of the world if this does not sell. Most are $100K+ in my collection. If I can make some extra space in my warehouses, great, if not, I will keep it as I do love the car as it is a true time capsule. They are so hard to find all stock. I did a Buy It Now, so you don't have to bid an and wait, and hope to get it. I get people all the time that email me after they missed something I have listed to let me know if the deal falls through...they will buy....Outright price for this Grand Sport is $33,900 if Buy It Now is used. Don't wait for someone else to use Buy It Now and miss it!! No taxes collected by me or any document fees like others charge. Don't miss this one, you will never find another like it and don't go spending $60K + for a new one that you will hate with in a month, or settle for a lesser car. These are huge differences between a base Corvette and a Grand Sport, do your research using Google as there is some great information and reviews. Again, I am VERY picky in what I choose to deal with. Deposit of $500 must be made immediately thru Paypal upon the use of BUY IT NOW and remaining balance due with in 3 days of winning auction. Any questions and/or inspections if wanted must be made BEFORE using BUY IT NOW. Please do not use Buy It Now, or bid unless you already have the money. If you need a loan, have it set up and approved first. You are welcome and encouraged to come and inspect the car or send someone to look at it before buying. I am not a dealer, so no sales tax will be collected by me. Car is sold as is with no warranty by me expressed or implied and no provisions will be made for anything deemed not accurate. I do my best to describe everything to the best of my ability and knowledge. Car will be shipped from Palm Springs, CA 92262 at my expense, or you are welcome to fly into Palm Springs International Airport and I will pick you up, and you can drive this beauty home and I will pay for up to $700 towards a plane ticket from anywhere... both of these options are ONLY applicable if you use Buy It Now and after car is paid for in full. Must be paid for in full with in 3 days, unless arrangements are made with me before using Buy It Now. I have CA title and bill of sale in hand. Car will not leave and title will not be sent until truck is paid in full (and cleared) with either cash upon pick-up, direct deposit, loan check, or cashier's check/money order. Feel free to ask any questions and I will answer promptly. I have never had a person purchase a vehicle from me sight unseen that was not thrilled with their purchase!! My 100% positive feedback from those that have purchased from me in the past 11 years clearly reflect this. I reserve the right to end this auction early as the car is advertised on several other sites and publications, so if you want it, use BUY IT NOW before someone else buys it!! If you can not meet these simple requirements, please do not use Buy It Now or bid and waste your time, mine, and others that are serious. If you need more time or have questions about payment, please feel free to message me with your phone # and we can discuss. I am VERY picky with vehicles I choose to deal with. Again, I have 30+ vehicles and none are a must sell, just trying to free up some space as I can barely walk in my warehouses they are so full. I am not interested in magazine coverage, picture collectors, or time wasters that just want to come and look at my collection. I am not losing any of my houses, or desperate in any way. In summary: EVERYTHING works!! No burnt out bulbs anywhere, the back-up lights, dash lights all work perfectly. A/C is ice cold, heat hot, nothing has any issues. Original owner's manuals, and handouts come with the car, as well as all documentation shown in the pictures. This Corvette runs and drives excellent and has never been abused. There are no odd odors, odd rattles, or odd noises. You can drive this car anywhere. Mileage may also vary minimally as car may be driven for supervised test drives and/or inspections and I do drive it sometimes, but of course will still kept indoors when not being driven. Please feel free to ask questions and I will answer promptly. This is not your average beat up manual transmission Corvette Grand Sport that has been beat that you can find that needs $10K+ worth of work and still won't be as nice as this one. Why buy someone else's problems? This car doesn't need a thing. It is a no excuse, honest car, that needs nothing. The paint color combination and options are simply stunning and the 6 speed manual makes it a pleasure to drive and it turns heads where ever you go. The engine is amazing and has power to spare. People stop at gas stations and make comments on how immaculate it is. Be the envy of your friends and neighbors! No excuses, issues, or stories with this car. Have a great day and thank you for looking and (hopefully) reading my long description..I just want to be thorough. Each time I think of something else, I revise the listing, add more pictures, and before I know it, it ends up this long!! Very few read what I end up writing, but if you have, thank you!! The first person that reads my entire listing, that has the means, is usually the buyer, so hopefully that is you. Feel free to contact me with any questions and have a great day. :)
