1988 Chevrolet Corvette Base Hatchback 2-door 5.7l Auto on 2040-cars

 Up for sale is my 1988 Corvette. I am selling this and my Jeep because I don't need and can't keep up with 3 vehicles.

White exterior, red/black interior, 95,xxx miles. L98 350 engine, 4 speed auto, and 2.54 rear. I get around 17-18 mpg around town, 24+ highway.

Being as this is a 26 year old vehicle, it is by no means a show car. I would rate it a 10 footer daily driver. I have waxed it a few times. That said, it has its imperfections. There are a few paint chips, a thin spot, and a cracked mirror. I tried to capture it in the photos. There is some primer peeking through on top of the rear bumper. Paint here is iffy due to years of someone dripping fuel on it while pulling the nozzle out. It has its share of squeaks and rattles. If you have owned a C4 before, you know all about them.

Sirius radio NOT included. Wheels are the baseline 16 inch wheels only offered in 1988. 1987 and 1989 models featured a different rim. This is the only set I've ever seen that were chromed. Most are brushed aluminum.

I purchased it in July 2012 with 82,xxx miles. I have regularly changed the oil with Mobil 1 Full Synthetic High Mileage.

Really the only things I have done are plugs/wires/cap/rotor, oil changes, air filter, fuel filter, and belt. I always use Premium 92/93 octane gas.

I have made a few long distance trips in it with no issues. Longest was an over-400-mile trip from southern PA to Alexandria Bay in upstate NY. Again, no issues(and I did it on a single tank of gas, but was buried on empty when I arrived).

There are a few problems. The battery went flat over the winter because I didn't drive it for over 4 months, and now the radio wont change from FM1. Cant play the cd player, aux, or AM. Cant eject the CD in there either or set the time. It is an aftermarket radio, I believe from 1994 time frame. The trim piece in the rear cargo area that covers the privacy cover is cracked in several places. I tried to repair it best I could, its fixed but isnt going to win any awards. Like I said, little odds and ends here and there, as its 26 years old. Occasionally when you let the tank get close to empty there is a mild fuel starvation issue at W.O.T. most likely due to there being little fuel in the bottom of the tank and the gass sloshing around. I very rarely ever let the tank get that empty, I always try to keep all my vehicles over 1/2 tank(I'm a little OCD like that). Interior pieces here and there have some cracks around screws, if you are familiar with 1980's GM plastics, it should come as no surprise.The 12v outlet worked some of the time, so I installed a secondary one in the center console(which I feel is a better location anyway). The climate control display sometimes flickers, which is very common for these. Works fine though.

Includes the original owners pamphlet and Corvette roof tool.
