1991 Corvette Convertible

Unmolested, completely stock. Adult owned.

Bright red, saddle leather. 

6 speed manual transmission.

 

The car is fully equipped including ABS and driver side airbag, plus it has the following factory options

        hardtop with storage stand

dual power sport seats

electronic climate control

Delco-Bose sound system incl. CD

engine oil cooler

In addition it has a built-in radar detector, and factory and custom alarm systems.

I have full service records, owners manual, original window sticker, remotes etc.

 

Only 52,000 documented miles.

 

I’m the second owner, have owned the car for 20 years. Used in the summer only, car was always garaged and covered in climate controlled environment.

Always hand washed.

 

At 48,000 miles, before the factory warranty expired, the dealer installed a brand new 6 speed transmission (not a rebuilt unit), a new clutch, new rear spring and suspension bushings and a brand new tan convertible top.

The car is in excellent conditions, runs and drives perfectly. The paint and interior are beautiful. 

I’m a private party with a number of collector cars.

The Corvette is one of my summer toys and during my ownership was never driven in the rain.

Even though I have driven it very little (less than 7,000 miles in 20 years), I believe in preventive maintenance.

I recently spent over $1,800. for a major tune-up including new platinum plugs, wires, distributor cap, new injectors (rather expensive), new fuel pump and filter.

In addition I just replaced the battery and the water pump and had a Bosch alternator installed.

At the same time the A/C system was serviced.

 

If you look at the long list of items I replaced over the last 4000 miles, including what was done under warranty, you realize what kind of a deal you are getting with this car.

Eventually these parts would have to be replaced on any Corvette you buy, as you accumulate miles.

Here it is all done, with some of the items being replaced before necessary, strictly as preventive maintenance.

I will consider trading for a Mercedes, such as CLK, E350, newer C-Class etc., since we need a car for my wife with automatic transmission.

Please contact me for any further question at (914) 827-7404  after 10AM EST


Since the car is advertised locally, I reserve the right to cancel this listing at any time

PS


I just noticed, that the Autocheck report shows an "accident" before I bought the car in 1993.
The previous owner mentioned, that the front bumper cover was scratched in a parking lot and he had it repainted. I guess he filed a claim.
This also explains the fact that there no are marks on the bumper cover, while the hood has some normal tiny chips if you look real close.

I also learned that there are very few convertibles with a 6 speed for sale. In my book this brings the fun part of driving this car, and the hard top extends the season and makes the car tighter.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
