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.

Recharge Wrap-Up: LAPD gets Zero MMX, Chevy's new inverter, Hyundai Tucson's new powertrains

Wed, Jul 16 2014

Some police in Los Angeles will be riding Zero MMX electric motorcycles on duty. The LAPD is adding the fully electric police/military all-terrain bikes to its patrol fleet. According to Officer Steve Carbajal of the department's off-road unit, "It costs less than 50 cents to charge compared to using gallons of gas, maintenance is simple, and the community appreciates how quiet they are." The electric bikes, with their lack of noise and a headlight the rider can turn off, also have the benefit of stealth, giving the officers what Carbajal calls "an added tactical advantage." The MMX also has swappable batteries, is designed for quick ignition and has power reserve capabilities so the rider won't be caught with a dead battery while chasing down a perp. Read more at Ride Apart. Remember when it seemed like we'd never run out of oil, and giving your buddy five bucks for gas was actually a worthwhile gesture? Drivers of classic cars in Detroit were able to fill up their tanks at gas prices corresponding to their model year, thanks to a promotion by Hagerty Insurance for National Collector Car Appreciation Day on July 11. That meant prices from 21 to 90 cents a gallon, as the cars that showed up ranged from the years 1929 to 1989. That's about as affordable as charging your EV. Head over to Autoweek for more details and some photos from the event. The next-generation Chevrolet Volt will likely benefit from a new inverter being developed by General Motors. GM is about two-thirds of the way through the development of the new inverter, which should be ready in January 2016. The inverter, which has a peak output of 55 kilowatts a continuous output of 33 kilowatts, will be adaptable for use in other GM vehicles. Chevrolet is working to reduce the Volt's production costs by $10,000 per vehicle, which should make it more affordable, and the new inverter could help reach that goal should it make its way into the car. Read more at Green Car Reports. Hyundai is likely planning some interesting powertrain changes for the 2016 Tucson, says Green Car Reports. Plug-in hybrid? Maybe. Diesel? Probably not. "We are covering the waterfront on all alternative fuel strategies, from standard hybrid, to plug-in, battery-electric, and fuel cell," says Hyundai's US Chief Dave Zuchowski.

Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand

Sun, Sep 28 2014

We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
