Vehicle Description
1992 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
The first blue Corvette showed up in 1954 wearing Pennant Blue
lacquer paint. Only 300 were built that year in this new hue. Other
first generation blues included Arctic Blue in 1956 and Jewel Blue
in 1961. The C2's gave us stunning Daytona Blue in 1963 and 1964.
Later in 1966 we had the terrific trio of Nassau, Laguna, and
Trophy Blue. That trifecta was followed up in 1967 with Elkhart,
Lynndale, and Marina Blue. Corvette's 3rd generation ran from 1968
to 1982 and gave us many more shades of blue. Some of our favorites
include 1969's Lemans Blue, 1972's Targa Blue, and 1977's Corvette
Dark Blue. Later C3's were available with two-tone paint which, of
course, included a couple shades of blue. 1981 featured Silver and
Dark Blue while 1982 offered the Silver Blue / Dark Blue combo. The
all-new 1984 Corvette debuted with Light Blue Metallic and Medium
Blue Metallic. You could also order these 2 colors together in a
two-tone configuration. Later C4 Blues included another incarnation
of Nassau Blue in 1988, Quasar Blue in 1990, and Admiral Blue in
1994.
For consignment from 1992 in Quasar Blue which is 1 of a mere 1,043
Produced this year in this color a Corvette convertible shining
like an icy cool penny. Since 2015 it has been driven about 4000
miles a year and garaged the remainder of the time. The AC blows
cold, headlights go up and down and the antenna works, also some
features that rarely work! This fiberglass piece of road sculpture
sucks you inside. As you take it all in it starts up and you are
mesmerized by the roar of the V8 which is an LT1 300hp engine. Nice
comfy light white Michelin Man leather interior nearly puts you to
sleep, when suddenly you are awakened by a snap of your neck, and
your right foot is to the floor, and you are speeding forward,
convertible wind in your hair style.
Exterior
Ok wake up and gaze at this beautiful Quasar Blue machine with
neoprene bumpers, hidden headlights, front quarter shark gills,
inset door handles, a nice flat rear deck and 4 deep inset rounded
squares tail lights. Sculpted lines abound for the fender tops and
front of the car which has nary a speck of chrome. A white
convertible top with a glass rear window can move up and down
easily so you can enjoy the wind in your hair, or drive in colder
weather. Polished sawtooth wheels in 17-inch form are wrapped in
front 245/40ZR17 rubber and rear 275/40ZR17's all from the 32nd
week of 2020. Noice! Blue eyes, my baby's got blue eyes...
Interior
In stark contrast to this Quasar Blue exterior we swing the doors
and reveal white leather upper panels all clean and nice. A black
molded armrest and black insert actuator are also seen in sleek
form. Inside high back Michelin man-esque buckets in white leather
are ready to seat you sir. These have heavily padded rolled tuck
and roll inserts and winged padded bolsters in their sides to grab
you and keep your attention. Also, the seat adjustments are within
the armrests. A wide black center console races through these white
chairs and houses a glovebox, more seat back adjustments and the
shifter. As it rises to the dash center, and this panel turns left
and forms the dash top and instrument cluster visor. On its way we
see a plethora of push buttons for the radio, climate controls and
a panel with information with individual warning alerts. The
C-curved dash visor has a cascade of gauges to drivers right, a
central orange LCD speedo display and a left hand quarter circle
tachometer. Vents and other controls are here in the dash front too
and the leather covered factory wheel is fronting this techno dash
and it has an airbag for the driver. All clean and nice black
carpeting and behind the seats are dal openings that can fit some
extra longer items into the trunk space behind. The white canvas
convertible top has some slight smudging but moves up and down
flawlessly and has notears or rips.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is a nicely aged slightly patina 5.7L LT1 V8
thatputs out 300 horsies. It is fed by tuned port EFI and a 700R4
4-speed automatic transmission on back. A 2.59 limited slip rear
axle is noted. Stock dual exhaust is on this engine.
Undercarriage
Some cast aluminum independent transverse leaf spring C4 suspension
with undercoated floor pans and tubs are noted at first glace when
peering up at the underside. An X brace supports the stresses on
the unibody and power disc brakes are on all 4 corners. Some road
dirt and sight corrosion for the steel and aluminum parts to this
undercarriage.
Drive-Ability
The car started right up and on the test track, it handled like it
was on rails. It exhibited neck snapping acceleration and great
bias free stopping with surefooted handling on every surface of the
track.. All controls were working at the time of the test drive and
we had a great experience for this test drive. Ill tell you
something else for free..its a head turner in the rare blue and
contrasting white.
Sing the blues for this year 'Vette. Stay for the comfort and
performance and sexy good looks. All in a nicely preserved cared
for driver example. Put the top down and live large!
