This is a 1985 Chevrolet Corvette with 43,190 miles on it. This car runs and drives excellent as a 43K should. The car has the 230hp/330lbs torque 350 tuned port injected engine. It is also has the Doug Nash 4+3 Manual transmission. This transmission works great as all the overdrive gears work. The clutch is also great. A manual lock out button for the overdrive gears is on the shifter button if you want just a four speed. The tires are in great shape and the car has an aftermarket Flowmaster exhaust system which sounds great. It runs strong. This was one of the fastest cars produced in 1985. All the DASH ELECTRONICS work, the power antenna works, the powers seats, door locks and power window work. The windshield wipers, fog lights and headlights all work perfect and the car passed and NC safety inspection a few months ago. The only electronic thing that does not work is the interior lights when you open the door. Also the rear hatch buttons that are located in the door panels (This is a module that when replaced will fix the two problems, it is inexpensive to buy). The main rear hatch button works and the rear hatch lights work along with the console lid light. The interior is very clean and the seats were re-done before I bought the car. I have a brand new reproduction steering wheel that goes with the car ($220.00). I just replaced the Targa roof weatherstripping. I will also will replace the door weather stripping and hatch weather stripping before the car is sold. The interior is great on this car.
A/C also blows cold and works great!
Exterior-The car was repainted once the original red. I have taken pictures of a few spokes that are flaking. The red is bright and I have waxed it several times. If I kept the car I would have painted the passenger door and nose area over. The car still looks great as is. I have taken pictures of any of the flaws. The car has the original factory wheels which are in great shape and the Targa top is glass and in very good shape.
This is a great C4 Corvette, not many have this type of mileage on them.
Serious bidders only with a good rating!

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
