Vehicle Description
2008 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
Myron E. Scott went to work for Chevrolet in 1937, as an assistant
director for the Public Relations department, where he was
responsible for photography of new cars, designing of press kits,
graphics, and special events. He was also known for being the
creator of the All-American Soap Box Derby. After winning a contest
with 300 submissions, Myron thought the name Corvette rolled off
the tongue well and thought a tie to the fast strike ships called
"Corvettes" from World War II would appeal to the American men,
many who had served. This would go on to form the foundation for
the nautical names that would be applied to Corvettes and concepts
such as the Mako Shark and Sting Ray (later to be used as
Stingray).
This LS3 6.2l V8 puts out 430hp, has 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 35,100 original miles. Black flawless fiberglass
with removable roof panels that can be stored in the back.
Exterior
Black paint, in pristine condition, drapes the fiberglass, and 5
spoke forged wheels in chrome aluminum 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. A Z51 performance
package is also on this "Vette for your driving pleasure."
Interior
Adorned in black leather with perforated black inserts, this 3LT
Interior package with power buckets are beckoning you to get in,
get grabbed, push the button, and go...fast! Noted on the driver's
seat the bolster shows some wear through. 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. A stitched padded two tone black vinyl dash top undulates
and stretches from door to door and is pristine. Door panels are
very simple gray tone, but effective in the design department, and
a push button door opening actuator makes getting in and out a
breeze. Also noted is a navigation system starring in the center
screen.
Drivetrain
An LS3 6.2 Liter (376ci) mill fits snugly under the hood and makes
a tire melting 430hp. The manual 6-speed T56 transmission is bolted
on the back. This combination puts power to the ground thru a 3.42
geared limited slip differential.
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, and ground effects floor pan panels. No runs, no drips, no
errors on this cream puff that happens to be heated with some
Jalapeno flavor under the bonnet and painted with menacing black.
Power disc brakes all around and excellent tuned suspension all
around which includes the Z-51 package
Drive-Ability
Quick starter, runs well, all functions functioning as they should.
handles like it's on rails and is a comfortable long haul cruiser
to boot. Active handling is definitely a plus.
A well taken care of favorite toy of the consigner; you have the
opportunity to pick it 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.
