Vehicle Description
2008 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
In 1951 a group of Harley Earl's "Special Projects" crew began work
on a GM sports car. Bob McLean designed a general layout for the
car which was originally code named, "Opel." William Durant, the
founder of GM, said a wallpaper pattern he saw in a Paris hotel in
1928 inspired the bow tie logo. Supposedly, he ripped off a small
piece of it and brought it back to Detroit. Myron Scott, at the
time Chevrolet's Chief photographer, is credited with coming up
with the Corvette name, drawing from the small, fast warships of
the "Corvette" class.
Fast forward to 2008 and this LS3 6.2 Liter engine putting out
430hp, paddle shifters, and the full capability to cruise low and
steady, or go hot at a moment's notice. This coupe from Bowling
Green presents in very good condition with 69,371 miles. This
Atomic Orange Corvette and will arrive with 2 removable tops, 1
glass and the other body matching, the latter stored in the rear
stowage area.
Exterior
Atomic Orange drapes the fiberglass, and 5 spoke forged wheels in
chrome finish are seen on all 4 corners. Plenty of conveniences on
the exterior including Xenon headlamps, heated and self-dimming
side mirrors, fog lamps and daytime running lights. An extreme
raked front windshield is wrapped in black and is in perfect
condition. Overall paint is very good and shows minimal chips or
scratches.
Interior
The 4LT interior is adorned in black leather with Light Linen
paneled inserts...power buckets are beckoning you to get in, get
grabbed, push the button, and go...fast! The center console offers
all the creature comforts you could want, as in dual climate
control, AM/FM/CD, anti-skid mode button, power windows, and power
mirrors, with the rear-view mirror sporting an inset compass. The
instrument cluster glows white and is all analog and fronted by a
leather covered adjustable steering wheel that offers fingertip
controls, and paddle shifters. A stitched padded two tone black and
Light Linen vinyl dash top undulates and stretches from door to
door and is pristine. Door panels are very simple 2 tone, but
effective in the design department, and a push button door opening
actuator makes getting in and out a breeze.
Drivetrain
An LS3 mill fits snugly under the hood, and has a Magnetic Ride
package upgrade installed. The automatic 6-speed transmission is
bolted on the back. This combination can put out an impressive
436hp with the optional dual mode exhaust.
Undercarriage
This car has seen little if any foul weather, always garaged, and
the undercarriage proves it. All clean even down to the exhaust
system, ground effects, and floor pan panels. No runs, no drips, no
errors on this cream puff that happens to be iced with some
Jalapeno flavor under the bonnet, and painted with an atomic
color!
A well taken care of favorite toy of the consigner, you have the
opportunity to pick up at a very fair price. Considering the
mileage, and condition, you will not be disappointed ...unless you
call too late and it has been taken! Go ahead, give yourself the
ability to go fast.
