Indoor storage is the only way a barely driven gem like this stays factory fresh after 22 years. The paint is nearly perfect, the body is perfect and the interior would be right at home in a new car showroom. Every single thing works, it's never been hit, never been in an accident and . . . do you realize that 25,027 averages to 3-miles a day. A Corvette convertible driven less than 100 miles a month since new, should look new. This one does and it functions and drives like it just came off the lot . . . available dates/mileage/history 5-91 compliance label builkd date 10-3-91 New York DMV - Huntington 6 miles 7-27-93 Great Neck Shell Service Center - Great Neck, New York - LOF 5,030 10-27-94 Illinois DMV - Chicago 14,779 5-20-95 Illinois emissions - Skokie 5-29-97 Illinois emissions - Skokie 3-19-02 Illinois DMV - Chicago 4-29-03 Illinois emissions - Skokie 5-30-03 Illinois emissions - Skokie 1-29-07 Illinois DMV - Chicago 2-9-11 Nevada emissions - Henderson 20,342 1-10-12 Nevada emissions - Henderson 20,634 1-17-12 Nevada DMV - Las Vegas 4-2-13 dealer inventory - vehicle offered for sale 24,120 Sterling Auto Sales - Boulder City, Nevada 24,309 5-9-13 Manheim - North Las Vegas, Nevada 24,547 5-9-13 Viva Las Vegas Autos, Inc. - Boulder City, Nevada 24,547 5-16-13 A-Best Auto - Henderson, Nevada - new airbag clockspring, transmission service/kit/fluid 24,682 6-4-13 current 25,027 A Note from the Owner I am a “used car dealer” but before that, I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I’ve been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners. I have an experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that my preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore, built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer. Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of business. With just four employees and no sales people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often, an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list. To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner and Chris, owner of A-Best Auto Repair in Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fix anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it allows my writer to describe the car with ease and confidence, something that simply is not possible unless he thinks it is true. If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction. After the vehicle is fully sorted it arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch, researches its history and documents originality and authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special features, possible modifications and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty. Most important for the potential buyer I feel, are the 100 to 150 high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep. Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I’ve converted a paint booth, especially prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly receives. Usually, I’ll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4 you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many “dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? We do. No “dealer,” on-line or in the real world, takes it to this level. No other seller or organization provides you, the buyer, with so much information. I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it. If you have any questions at all, please call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the most accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.” Serious buyers know the maximum they can offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that number. If you hit the reserve, the decision is no longer mine. I must sell at that number. OFFERS GET MY ATTENTION: 702-353-7500 or Doug@vivalasvegasautos.com Slip behind the wheel in beautiful red leather Sport (optional) seats. The exterior white/red inside combination is a Corvette classic. All 300 of the first Corvettes built for 1953 were Polo White with red interior. No other colors were offered and it looks just as stunning today as it did six decades ago. The 1991 design freshening was the final look that would carry through to the end of C4 production in 1996. Exterior changes included new wraparound park/cornering/fog lights, convex rear fascia with rectangular tail lights (previously ZR-1 only) fender louvers and body color belt molding. Tap the key, even after long sitting and the 5.7 liter L98 comes to life so instantly, seems like it starts before you turn the key. The low rumble is completely unmodified, unmolested and is squeaky clean, dry and reliable as the day it was made. The powerful engine runs like brand new, the 4-speed automatic is flawless, steering is perfect, suspension is perfect, brakes are perfect and the car does not shake or vibrate at any speed . . . Very few convertibles store their tops leaving the aft cabin area completely smooth and flush. This particular roadster also escaped the unsightly installation of a luggage rack, unlike so many Corvette drop tops. The top goes down (and up) in seconds and, as you can see, looks sensational . . . Sung top, dark tint and an ice-cold air conditioner keeps bad moods at bay on hot days. All seams are tight and doors close with a solidity that only a new car with 25,000 miles can. A Corvette is only new once but some are new for a very long time. Instead of wondering what or how many, niggling issues you expect to endure that are part and parcel owning most 22-year old sports cars, our preferred buyer chooses to put up with absolutely nothing. If you're willing to pay for the best, this 1991 Corvette convertible is new and for you. Blazing red and gorgeous with hardly any signs of use or age. Sport seats are multi-lumbar adjustable and everything in here works like new. There's even an old school radar detector mounted in the dash . . . Nearly no signs of wear and zero abuse makes this leather cabin look years newer than it is. 5.7 Liter V8 (L98) 245 horsepower @ 4,400/350 ft-lb torque @ 3,200 RPM Clean, dry and perfect. Looks like a new car in here . . . doesn't it? Like brand new, front to rear. Picky buyers choose this. Spotless undercarriage.
