There is so much to list on this car that I'm only going to mention a few highlights rather than turn this into a novel. Contact me with your specific questions and I'll do my best to provide you with details about whatever you'd like to know.
I bought the car in February of 2005 in Louisiana with 33,195 miles on it. It currently has less than an additional 600 miles showing. I just don't drive it much and also need a toy with a rear seat which is the reason I'm selling it. I just don't have the time to enjoy it so it just sits in my garage except for the occasional local cruise night. I baby the car, I don't race it and I don't believe I've ever even been on a road with a speed limit higher than 55. Since purchasing the car I've added a Thompson Astro Roof (single piece, not t-tops), A3 racing seats, blue undercar LED lighting, an Option Racing "D" steering wheel, a JDM quick release with a MOMO adapter, a billet rear view mirror, the bubble tail light conversion, G-Force Pro Series camlock 6-point harnesses, a new master cylinder, a new power brake booster, a new proportioning valve, and some additional minor items. I got the custom seats since they recline further than the originals and since I'm 6'6" I need all the room I can get. I believe that the air conditioner needs to be charged. I tried it once when I bought the car and it blew cold and never tried it again until late this past summer and it did not blow very cold. You should know that the A/C unit is there and complete but that at a minimum it will need to be charged. In addition, while components for cruise control are on the car I've never even tried it so you should assume that it is inoperative. Other than that, the wipers, lights, signals, power windows, all guages (except the clock which never seems to work in these cars), and the custom stereo system all work just fine. The paint is extremely glossy and maintained using only Griots products. If you're at all familiar with Corvettes you know that it's not too long before at least a few hairlines appear in the paint and this Vette is not an exception to the rule. So, while extremely nice, to win a best paint award you'd need to do a little touch up. The only difference between the video and any pictures of the rear is that I've added a couple of backup lights under the car since these were shot.
I did have the car appraised for insurance purposes when I got it. I have it insured with State Farm on an appraised value policy (currently $18,000) with full coverage for just under $150 per year which shocks a lot of people. If you have considered a Corvette before but haven't bought because you thought insurance was too high, there's no trick involved and I'll happily share how I got this coverage so inexpensively with the new owner.
This Vette is a real attention getter when I do take it out and a big hit with the kids after it gets dark and I turn on the undercar lighting. It is computer controlled and even has a sound function so when I park by a band or DJ at a cruise night the lighting reacts to the music. Anyway, the car runs out well, drives well and is a lot of fun on that rare opportunity that I do get to take it out. Price: US $13,995.00 |
