Vehicle Description
1987 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
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 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).
For consignment, a very nice example of a 1987 Corvette which was a
year in which Corvette was celebrating its 34th birthday. Coming to
our Hallowed Halls showing a title verified 47,886 miles and bathed
in Medium Blue Metallic with a black canvas convertible top and 350
cubes awaiting your command to fire it up. Now is your chance to
get into the classic car game and you are starting near the top
with this Classic Corvette from the late 80's.
Exterior
Medium Blue Metallic greets us with our first loook, but there's no
reason to be sad with the overall presentation of the factory
applied finish that bathes the fiberglass sculpted exterior.
Badging is all correct, as well as working hidden headlights. Black
plastic trimming wraps entirely around this car at the midline and
creates a nice contrast to the blue. A like new black canvas
convertible top gives you the ability to go topless or drive in the
rain with it up. A nice fiberglass rear top covering hides the top
when in the down position. On the back are the round tail lights
deeply inset within the neoprene rear bumper and rear roll pan.
Quad exhaust tips are showing off at the bottom of this bumper.
Standard salad shooter 16-inch shiny wheels are noted on all 4
corners with no curbing marks and shod in high performance
255/50ZR16 rubber.
Interior
Lightly faded blue carpet floods the floors, and the back trunk
area, and it is a very alluring blue and in very good condition.
Shiny blue leather buckets, showing as original, have minimal wear
with the usual fold lines that come with use. These buckets contain
controls for the activation of them within the bolsters of the
seats and flank a black center console/black topped storage unit.
This also houses the controls for power windows, the rest of the
power seat functions, exterior mirrors, shift lever for the
automatic transmission, climate control, AM/FM/CD stereo, and a
data center with a screen to display information regarding gas
mileage, service warnings and other key components of the car. An
all digital cluster of gauges in colorful form all working like new
are fronted by a black rimmed rally style steering wheel.
Drivetrain
The stout 350ci V8 L98 small block is topped by electronic tuned
port fuel injection and is backed by a 700 R4 4-speed automatic
transmission that shifts smoothly. The engine is very clean and has
little corrosion and nice shiny hoses and belts along with some
gold cast aluminum valve coverings. Save for a little bit of road
dirt on the underside of the wheel wells, it's all clean under this
hood.
Undercarriage
C4 suspension is clean which is independent transverse leaf
springboth front and rear showing a slight patina on the aluminum
cast suspension. The unibody and floor pans are all very sound.
Power disc brakes are on all 4's and the factory style dual exhaust
is on for the exhale.
Drive-Ability
A quick starter and good runner this car presented with no problems
other than an anti-lock brake light being lit on the dash. Sit back
and feel the pressure as you are pushed into your seat and let the
wind blow through your hair.
We are in the game here with a nice looking and well cared for low
mileage 36 year old "Vette. A real celebration of unmolested style
and performance that was top of the charts in the American
performance car ranks in its day. And the legend continues..!!
