Vehicle Description
Huge appeal, little price, and all the right paperwork - this 1989
Chevrolet Corvette already attracted you even before you saw the
low mileage, six-speed, and stellar color combo.
Dark Blue Metallic is a great vivid color that still looks modern
today. It was only offered by the factory for a couple of years,
and in 1989 less than 1,300 coupes received it. So it's amazing to
find this factory paint still looking so good today. And as you
look over this whole car, you're going to notice that it has all
the right rare features and exceptional care. In fact, you're
looking at a coupe that is approaching three decades, and it still
has all the right details in place. The headlights fit flush, the
weatherstripping is tight, and black trim line runs all the way
around the car with the kind of straightness that looks like an
unbroken line. In total, you'll love how fantastically coordinated
the whole package is. For example, you have the choice between the
color matched targa top and the deeply tinted glass one. When you
choose the latter, it coordinates with the black trim strip, door
handles, and tinted rear window to create a terrific two-tone
effect with the deep blue.
And if you like the way the black and blue look together with the
top on, you'll love it even more with no roof in place. After all,
the dark black leather interior was meant to be shared with the
world. In fact, Corvette fans will be particularly keen to look at
the seats, because they are an instant indication of the upgraded
Z51 sport package. And if you like C4s, you know that the it took
the Z51 to get the FX3 selective ride and handling system... And
yes, this one has it! You get to control the ride from a selector
in the center console, which was both revolutionary and expensive
in 1989 - that's why less than 1,600 cars received the option. So
yes, this coupe is already ultra-desirable, even before you sit
down and power adjust the seat to the perfect driving position. The
dual spoke steering wheel gives you a commanding view of the cool
digital gauge cluster. And your right hand falls perfectly on the
very important stick shift (more on that in a moment.) As you gaze
across the entire interior, the addition of a wood veneer breaks up
the darkness nicely and does a great job of framing the premium
features. This includes, power windows, power locks, cruise
control, and the factory Bose AM/FM/cassette stereo. Even the
original automatic climate control is still pumping out the cold
air, so you can stay open to the world without breaking a
sweat.
This is the kind of car to take to shows, and when you do, everyone
loves to see the cool racecar-like appearance as nearly the whole
front section tilts forward. And when you do that, you'll get a
great view of the numbers-matching L98 350 cubic-inch V8. This
fuel-injected powerplant has tons of torque, and you're in complete
control thanks to the original ZF six-speed manual transmission.
This was the first year for the new manual gearbox, so it's a rare
find, but it really transformed the performance of the C4. Plus,
with the FX3 adjustable shocks, four-wheel disc brakes w/ABS, power
steering, and a fully independent suspension, this Corvette has all
the right features to be a great weekend getaway machine.
Averaging less than 1,200 miles annually already tells you this has
been a cherished classic since day one. Plus, the sale comes with
the original window sticker, owner's manual, and maintenance
records. So a speedy Corvette this complete and appealing is the
kind of deal that will be going fast. Don't miss out, call
today!
