Vehicle Description
1986 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
The C4 Corvette represented a clean break from the Zora
Arkus-Duntov-designed C3, with a completely new chassis and
sleeker, more modern but still evolutionary styling. It was the
work of a team under chief Corvette designer Dave McLellan, who'd
taken over from Duntov in 1975.
For consignment we offer a 1986 version of the America's sports
car. A 350ci V8 engine, and a very nicely preserved maroon
exterior, performance handling, and an improved fuel injection
system are just a few of the upgrades included for this year.
39,000 original miles.
Exterior
All clean bright maroon fiberglass in good condition. Consigner
states that the uppers of this car were repainted due to the
original clear coat failing. Very minor dulling in the paint and
some areas of overspray, but overall well preserved. New rubber
seals are noted throughout as well. Dual electric controlled sport
mirrors, and a new black cloth top with clear plastic rear window.
16 turbine style wheels are on all 4 corners.
Interior
Gray leather in bucket form grace the inside of this Vette. The
driver's seat has some signs of wear with cracking on the bolster
area. A digital driver information system is seen on the square
design dash, as well as the 4-speed automatic transmission shifter
in the console. The seats flank a console glovebox and various
power option controls such as power windows, power steering and a
key fob remote access button will get you into the rear storage
area that has enough room to take the bags for a long trip. Gray
carpeting appears original and shows some staining. Door panels are
black vinyl and have a peppering of black inserts to add contrast
to their style. The factory AM/FM/Cassette player is neatly resting
the dash.
Drivetrain
A 350ci V8 with electronic fuel injection can be viewed within an
original engine bay with the flip of the hood. All clean under here
with slight corrosion. Bolted on back is the 4-speed automatic
transmission. Keeping everything cool is an electric fan on the
cooling system.
Undercarriage
Reasonably clean and rust free. C4 suspension is seen which
includes a posi trac rear, and fiberglass mono leaf spring setup is
on the rear with independent suspension up front.
Drive-Ability
Started right up and the digital dash came to life with all the
stats. Drives very smoothly, has plenty of power, and the
convertible worked flawlessly. Solid handling, and we can
experience some G's.
Overall a good Corvette all around. A 350ci engine which runs well
and starts quickly. Nice maroon paint and new convertible top. All
correct badging, and leather interior.
