Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is excited to digitally present
this 1988 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport, presented in a striking
granite metallic exterior paired with a light brown leather
interior that will stand out on any road!This classic is powered by
a robust 5.7 Tune Port V8 engine paired with a 700R4 automatic
transmission, offering a driving experience that seamlessly blends
power and precision.1988 was a special year because it was
Corvette's 35th Anniversary so a number of improvements were made
as if a Corvette isn't impressive enough already! The L98 engine
got a bump in HP due to the addition of a free breathing cylinder
heads, a reprofiled camshaft and a less restrictive muffler package
on the coupes only. Larger 17x9.5-inch wheels with meaty
P275/40ZR-17 Goodyear Eagle GT "Z-Rated" tires were offered and
this was the 1st car to have wheels that large.Inside, the Corvette
is equipped with a range of features designed for convenience. The
air conditioning system ensures a pleasant cabin environment, while
the AM/FM radio and cassette tape player provide entertainment
options for your journeys. The leather interior is complemented by
power seats with lumbar support, allowing for optimal comfort on
long drives. Power locks, power windows, and power steering further
enhance the driving experience, making every trip effortless.Safety
and performance are at the forefront with features such as power
brakes, seatbelts, and performance tires. The Corvette is fitted
with rally wheels and offers both bias ply and radial tire options,
ensuring a smooth and controlled ride. Now that we got that covered
let me take you back to 1989 when a New York man won a TV contest
granting him 36 Corvettes, 1 for each year Corvette was in
production. Those Corvettes were sold to a famous artist who put
them in storage, and they were forgotten about until discovered in
2005. After being discovered they were separated and sold to new
owners including the gentleman selling this beauty which was part
of the collection.So whether you're a collector or an enthusiast,
the 1988 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport stands as a remarkable
example of automotive history.For more information, contact our
