Vehicle Description
1993 Chevrolet Corvette 40th Anniversary Coupe
Don't purchase a '93 40th Anniversary Edition Corvette and squirrel
it away in a warehouse hoping it will make you wealthy. If you want
to collect something that really might make a fortune someday, try
gold coins, 1950's Eames era furniture, hood ornaments, or a
limited run of "Michael Jackson's Neverland" Commemorative plates.
This car was made to be driven. It would be a shame to own it and
have it any other way.
For consignment, a very nice 1993 40th Anniversary Edition Corvette
coupe, all original and all good. This is a jump in, turn the key,
and have loads of enjoyment with the see-through top in or remove
it for some wind in your hair fun. Pedal to the metal, or lightly
tickling it with your toe on a windy undulating drive, only having
logged 48,349 miles and well maintained by a conscientious
mechanic, there is plenty of life to be lived with this Classic
Corvette.
Exterior
All correct 40th Anniversary Corvette badging, stuck to the
immaculate Dark Ruby Metallic fiberglass exterior with a removable
tinted see through top for some extra excitement and as an extra
bonus a body colored top is also included. A consignor stated
factory rear spoiler in matching Ruby Red is on the rear deck and
gives the car a definitive racer look although there are some
questions to the validity of this statement. Hidden headlights with
rebuilt motors and bronze gears and integrated matching bumpers
very thin in height in the low-slung front, and squared off on the
rear, this iconic design "Vette" drips early 90's conventions.
Interior
Ruby Red leather buckets with wonderfully pleasing patina show use,
but not overuse. Lowering yourself into this cockpit, you will feel
like a sports car endurance driver, strapped in but with all the
creature comforts: power seat controls, power windows, cruise
control, anti-skid mode, climate control, power locks, power
mirrors, and an AM/FM/CD/Cassette sound system that will be music
to your ears. A smattering of black vinyl accents in the form of
the center console, door pulls, dash, and armrests, breaks up all
the Ruby Red leather and gives the cockpit a very classy yet sporty
look. A large information screen is seen, as well as a mixture of
analog and orange glow digital gauges. Under the large glass rear
greenhouse is a carpeted storage area that holds the removable
targa roof and is carpeted in plush ruby red carpet.
Drivetrain
A 350ci LT1 V8 making 300hp with help from electronic fuel
injection resides under the forward tilting hood. A 4L60E 4-speed
automatic transmission is bolted on and sends power back to a rear
axle weighing in with a 2.59 limited slip ratio. Our consignor
notes that then engine recently had an oil change with Mobil 1, the
A/C was recharged, and a transmission servicing was done with new
fluid.
Undercarriage
Garage kept, would be the way to describe the wonderfully
preserved, original rust free undercarriage. Single fiberglass
composite mono leaf spring with unequal length aluminum control
arms and stabilizer bar, are up front, and on the rear is a fully
independent 5 link system with fiberglass single leaf spring,
aluminum upper/lower trailing links and a strut tie-rod assembly.
Power disc brakes are all around as is power steering.
Drive-Ability
I slipped in and lit the candles, and we're off. Me and my cohort
took this one through the paces at the Classic Auto Mall test pad,
and it performed well. Smooth acceleration, good handling, and a
super quick stopper. The suspension is good cruising and handling
in a performance situation, so you are treated to the best of both
worlds. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions
were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee
these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Many of the Corvettes we take in here that are from the 90's are
driven hard and put up wet. Typically, they were bought by
individuals who found success, and wanted a powerful status car
they could fool around with, punch the gas, put down some rubber,
and move on to another vehicle. This car could be described as a
favorite toy for its owner, who painstakingly took care of all
aspects of the responsibilities that come with a sports car from
the early 90's. All original, and all nice... isn't it your time to
own a Corvette?
