Vehicle Description
1986 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
Chevrolet has been pumping out Corvettes for 68 years, building
about 1.5 million of them since 1953. That makes the 'Vette one of
the most popular sports cars of all time. First and
second-generation Corvettes were one of the first true collectible
cars of the modern era, and collecting Corvettes remains a global
phenomenon. More than just another two-seat sports car, the Vette
is an American icon. There's a good reason it's often referred to
as America's sports car.
For consignment we offer the 1986 version of America's sports car.
A powerful 350ci L98 V8 engine, and mostly original car for the
taking. A targa roof optioned car all wrapped in Gold Metallic and
low (74,014) original miles.
Exterior
All clean Gold Metallic fiberglass is in good condition. Some
slight differences in the paint between the melamine front bumper
and body are noted. Dual electric controlled sport mirrors, and a
fiberglass body colored targa lift off roof panel is seen. Black
trimmings help breakup the gold on this hidden headlight car. On
the back the large greenhouse glass cargo area emits from the rear
roll bar/B pillar. The flat back with dual round taillights has a
nice black wrap around body molding just below. 16-inch aluminum
wheels and radials are bolted on all 4 corners.
Interior
Tan checkered cloth high back buckets are in the clean tan carpeted
passenger compartment. These seats show little to no wear and
almost no soiling. They have a centrally located power-controlled
toggle for infinite adjustment of the seats. A digital driver
information system is seen on the curvaceous dash, as well as the
automatic transmission shifter that offers overdrive. Power
windows, and power steering as well as an electric release will get
you into the rear storage area that has enough room to house the
removable top. All is clean for the digital dash and surfaces
inside the cockpit. We note the add on of blonde maple wood inlays
on dash as well as the console and door panels giving the sporty
interior a luxurious look and feel.
Drivetrain
An original 350ci L98 V8 can be viewed within a clean engine bay
with the flip of the hood. It has a tuned port EFI on top, and a
700R4 4-speed automatic on back. Way in the back is a 2.73 geared
rear axle. Slight corrosion is seen on a few surfaces but overall
looking good.
Undercarriage
Very clean and rust free with only road dirt and patina from age. A
C4 suspension is seen in fiberglass mono leaf spring suspension on
the front and rear. Power disc brakes for all 4 corners and power
steering is seen. Dual exhaust is on with stock style mufflers and
is solid with some surface rust on the piping.
Drive-Ability
Runs great, handled the test track with ease, and all functions
were in working order with the exception of the dash cluster going
dim intermittently during my drive.
Overall, a clean Corvette that the consignor has gotten good use of
and is now ready to pass on to the next Corvette aficionado. A
quick starter, smooth shifter, and plenty of power keep true to the
'Vette legacy of America's Sports Car. Bathed in Gold Metallic, and
a truly mid 80's interior with the checkered tan cloth seats and
added wood accenting.
