Beautiful garage kept car, and rational seller. A rare combination! This car looks and feels every bit what you'd expect a pampered, unmodified, unmolested 34k mi Corvette convertible to be. Mechanically and visually it's a knockout. I'm a perfectionist so I won't portray it as being perfect. But this morning my neighbor said it looks like it just came off the showroom floor...so there ;-)
The paint is original, deep and glossy, and the top is original, gorgeous white. Interior looks great, with all carpeting correctly and professionally renewed. No cigarettes or odd smells. But...the speedo has a 'halo', I have the part, easy fix (see photos). The sheepskin is covering a small tear on one seat.
Mechanically the car feels like it's not even broken in. It leaks not a drop of fluid. Nor does it burn fluids. All pressures and temperatures are normal, and no warning lights are illuminated. It has been driven and maintained properly by mature owners. The 4 speed manual and overdrive operates perfectly.
I really like cars, and fell in love with this one because it looks fantastic and is incredibly fun to drive. It turns heads everywhere. But I have 4 vehicles and am thinning the herd.
I encourage questions, as well as inspection prior to bidding. There are of course a few minor niggles, but that's what weekends are for, right :-) You won't be disappointed.
Please bid to own, because as I say, I am rational and not greedy.
Cheers!
On Mar-02-13 at 13:29:40 PST, seller added the following information:3/2/13: To my surprise I see a minor accident was reported in 2005 on the right front corner. I just inspected the car and can find no evidence of paint or body repair. Body tolerances are laser- perfect. Bid with confidence, this must have been very minor indeed.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production by more than 20%
Sat, Jun 13 2015General Motors' Orion Assembly plant in Michigan is seeing even more production cuts this year to further reduce inventories of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano. These latest adjustments mean layoffs for about 100 workers in phases starting in July. "GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand," the company said in a statement announcing the change. Through May, sales of the Sonic are down 28.5 percent to 29,082 vehicles, and the Verano is off 15.6 percent, with 15,279 sold this year. According to unnamed plant insiders speaking to Automotive News, the assembly rate is slowing at Orion Assembly from the current 33 cars an hour down to 26 an hour, a 21-percent reduction. GM is also reportedly going to keep the plant idle for three weeks during the normal summer shutdown, rather than the usual two. Earlier in the year, the factory was idled for two weeks due to excess supply of the Sonic and Verano. In March, it was closed again for several days for the same reason. The Orion Assembly plant is the future home to the line for the Chevy Bolt EV. GM Statement: GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand. A phased layoff of approximately 100 employees will begin in July 2015 and conclude by year-end.
