The car is at Paul's Auto in Cranbury, NJ if you want to pop by and look at it. Just contact me and I'll alert them.
This is a very low price for this year in this condition, as I need it sold. 908- 331- 2287. Text preferable during work hours.
Please note that I recently took off the simulated woodgrain, which explains the front dash plastic being necessary to replace. I just don't have pictures of it right now.

Still for sale ...
I'm in the process of getting the ABS pump put in and the emergency brake repaired. If someone wants to buy it from me as is I will make a good deal, $4000 plus. If no one buys it before I fix everything the price will be going back up. Sorry, but I need to recoup something

Just have to find the right buyer. There was a guy that lives down the street from me with a 94 6 spd had 80k miles took him almost a year to sell it!! he started at $8000 and ended up getting $4500 for it. I have seen pretty beat up ones sell for more than that. His was clean as hell. Its all in the guy in area looking for one. I would hold firm on that price. Free bump for a what looks to be a good car!!

I'm 21, attending New Jersey City University and have been longing to own a vette since age 4 when I first learned what one was haha! I've always owned v8 muscle cars, but have not gotten to that vette yet. Actually I lied, I did have a 4 cylinder car most recently but wait! It was a 1972 Opel GT, loved the car and did lot's of work to it but it just didnt give me that v8 vette rumble that we all love. A c4 I think is a good area to start with in the corvette world, and I really like the 86-89 vettes they catch my eye the most. 88 Woody I'd like to come check it out whenever you are available, I live in Neptune NJ, probably about 30-45 minutes away from you.

An Opel! I remember those cars but haven't seen one in ages. I had a friend who owned one in HS.
Anyway, you're welcome to come see it. I'm having it worked on now so I'll find out tomorrow when my mechanic thinks it'll be done and I'll let you know.
And thank you for your interest.

It was such a unique car everyone who saw it looked at me like I was in a Ferrari haha! But thank you man I appreciate it. I have your number now as well from this thread I will save it in my phone. I'd love to come check it out whenever available. What kind of work are you having done on it presently?

Oh awesome!! One less thing I'll have to do haha. The car really looks to be in excellent shape, just what I'm looking for. I've been shopping around on craigslist and sites like that, some of these people are nuts they want $12,000 for their crossfire injection 84 corvette with 112 thousand miles that also needs paint and interior work. Nuts, but just by the pictures I can tell that you took really good care of the car the way it should have been taken care of and are asking a fair price. I am looking forward to checking it out. My name's Ralph by the way. Thanks for the reply!
