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.

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles

Thu, Nov 27 2014

US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

Chevy Spark EV could be coming to Midwest later this year

Tue, Jun 10 2014

Ohio is not known as a hotbed of EV sales – if anything, the state is a bit anti-EV, thanks to a legislative fight against Tesla's direct sales model – but it might be on Chevrolet's short list to expand the market for the Spark EV in the near future. The latest official GM press release on the battery-powered Spark still says the car is "available exclusively in California and Oregon," but Hybrid Cars found four Ohio dealerships that list a Spark EV on their websites, with hints the the car will be coming to the Midwest state by the end of the summer. See, for example, here, here, here and here. But that's probably not going to happen, according to Randy Fox, GM communication's manager for passenger cars. Fox told AutoblogGreen that, "At this point in time, we don't have any official plans to expand the Spark EV beyond California and Oregon." The reason is that California and Oregon have the infrastructure to support EVs, Fox said, and GM wants to be able to support its EV customers. "We are continuing to look at other options," he said. "The selling point for electric cars today is not advertising, it's eyeballs, it's peer exposure" – John O'Dell John O'Dell, a senior editor at Edmunds.com, told AutoblogGreen that, "It makes sense for [GM] to expand sales and it makes sense to do it in a quiet manner, to get these vehicles on the road. The selling point for electric cars today is not advertising, it's eyeballs, it's peer exposure. If someone in my neighborhood has one and he likes it, then maybe I can trust him. So it's important to get these vehicles on the road." Chevy sold 182 Spark EVs last month, a significant increase over the 98 sold in April. That's still small potatoes compared to the 3,000+ Nissan Leaf EVs sold last month, but making the electric Spark available in Ohio, say, or GM's home state of Michigan could boost those numbers. AutoblogGreen called a few dealerships in Michigan to see what they had heard. One salesman said he didn't think GM had started production yet but the inventory manager for another dealership said the Spark EV is scheduled to arrive in the Midwest in "roughly the fourth quarter." What would GM's incentive be to offer the car in markets outside of California where it can gain ZEV credits with each sale?

5 reasons why GM is cutting jobs, closing plants in a healthy economy

Tue, Nov 27 2018

DETROIT — Even though unemployment is low, the economy is growing and U.S. auto sales are near historic highs, General Motors is cutting thousands of jobs in a major restructuring aimed at generating cash to spend on innovation. It's the new reality for automakers that are faced with the present cost of designing gas-powered cars and trucks that appeal to buyers now while at the same time preparing for a future world of electric and autonomous vehicles. GM announced Monday that it will cut as many as 14,000 workers in North America and put five plants up for possible closure as it abandons many of its car models and restructures to focus more on autonomous and electric vehicles. The reductions could amount to as much as 8 percent of GM's global workforce of 180,000 employees. The cuts mark GM's first major downsizing since shedding thousands of jobs in the Great Recession. The company also said it will stop operating two additional factories outside North America by the end of next year. The move to make GM get leaner before the next downturn likely will be followed by Ford Motor Co., which also has struggled to keep one foot in the present and another in an ambiguous future of new mobility. Ford has been slower to react, but says it will lay off an unspecified number of white-collar workers as it exits much of the car market in favor of trucks and SUVs, some of them powered by batteries. Here's a rundown of the reasons behind the cuts: Coding, not combustion CEO Mary Barra said as cars and trucks become more complex, GM will need more computer coders but fewer engineers who work on internal combustion engines. "The vehicle has become much more software-oriented" with millions of lines of code, she said. "We still need many technical resources in the company." Shedding sedans The restructuring also reflects changing North American auto markets as manufacturers continue to shift away from cars toward SUVs and trucks. In October, almost 65 percent of new vehicles sold in the U.S. were trucks or SUVs. That figure was about 50 percent cars just five years ago. GM is shedding cars largely because it doesn't make money on them, Citi analyst Itay Michaeli wrote in a note to investors. "We estimate sedans operate at a significant loss, hence the need for classic restructuring," he wrote. The reduction includes about 8,000 white-collar employees, or 15 percent of GM's North American white-collar workforce. Some will take buyouts while others will be laid off.
