Vehicle Description
This red 1989 Chevrolet Corvette offers big fun with a little price
tag. Even today, the C4 is a potent street car, and this one with a
fuel-injected 350 small block can more than hold its own with some
much more recent hardware. And there really is nothing quite like
taking the targa top out, cranking up the A/C, and having a
comfortable cruise all-day long.
The Dark Red metallic paint gives this Corvette an attractive look
that takes the excitement of red but gives it an added
sophistication. This is the factory-correct color with many signs
it's the original paint. The reason why paint can last nearly
thirty years on a Corvette and still look this good (especially
when many cars can't even go a decade with the factory spray) is
because of the level of care that most 'Vette owners have. That's
also why the body is in such good condition where the doors shut
with confidence; the fenders are smooth and unmarked from curbs;
and the pointed front end is still crisp and iconic. Mid-C4
appearance is arguably the best of the bunch with the top-mounted
center brake light, and the factory alloy wheels that are a
reminder of the mighty ZR-1 that was about to debut.
The interior remains just as nicely original as the exterior. The
black leather power seats provide the kind of adjustable comfort
that could make some modern interiors jealous. The two-spoke
steering wheel was purposely designed to give you a commanding view
of the unique instrument cluster. The digital gauges were
state-of-the-art when they were introduced, and so it's signature
piece that everyone looks for today. That's why it's essential to
have it looking as good as this one. But more than just the gauges,
as you gaze across the entire interior, everything looks great and
correct, including the controls for the power windows, power locks,
and AM/FM/cassette stereo. Even the original climate control is in
place, and as we mentioned before, this car is perfect for taking
out the targa roof and turning up the air conditioning for a great
day out.
Tilt the clamshell hood forward and you'll find GM's evergreen L98
350 cubic-inch V8. With Tuned-Port Injection, it generates enough
low-end torque to pull a building off its foundation and feel like
a freight train through the gears. This is the original
numbers-matching powerplant, and it shows plenty of signs of proper
maintenance over the years. Despite being the most
modification-friendly car in decades, this one seems to be
completely stock, which seems to be the right attitude for this
car. With a four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive,
four-wheel disc brakes w/ABS, power steering, and cruise control,
this Corvette has all the right features to be a great and reliable
weekend getaway machine.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a great opportunity to get
into a 'Vette for not a lot of money. It's a nice cared for car,
and all it needs is a new home. Call today!!!
