1986 Automatic Coupe - Cheap Project - $2000 - PA 17517
I bought this 86' back in the fall mainly because it was for sale on the side of the road on my commute, the price was right and it had some z06 wheels that I wanted for my c5.
Fast forward to today and I haven't done much with the car and I have no desire to give it the attention that it needs so it is for sale, as-is. A project for sure.
Here's some basic Info, Please read it all before contacting me.
96k miles
Automatic
Registered Antique in PA (no inspection required)
Paint and interior are rough. (repainted poorly and paint is orange peeled and flaking, seats are in bad shape, top has a crack)
The car has Chrome valve covers, aftermarket mufflers and steering wheel, SLP intake runners, new master cylinder.
Speedometer is the only working gauge, digital dash needs some help.
Rust on passenger floor, seat is loose at the rear because of this. The floor is not completely rusted out but the rear two mounting points are loose so I'd replace this section.
No radio.
Tires are dryrotted and cause highway vibration- I picked up a set of correct c4 wheels for it and the tires on them are very old and it shows. 9.5" square set.
The trans shifts pretty well for a 30 year old car, 1-2 shift is slow sometimes. It feels like possibly the car has a shift kit but I can't confirm. No slipping.
I have driven the car no more than 50 miles since purchasing it, it ran well but drove like a 30 year old car that needs some maintenance.
***EDIT, I replaced the alternator and the car is now running well***
If the asking price is met and you are within' two hours of PA, 17517 I will deliver the car by trailer after it is paid for and the title transferred.
Asking $2000 - FIRM!
Expect a car needing some TLC. Obviously a $2000 Vette isn't ready to get in and go.
I may consider a part out if I line buyers up for the major components.
Located in Denver, PA 17517

New alternator going on this evening.
I hate to part out a car that functions, if it comes to it I will but I'm sure there's someone out there with more mechanical ability than cash that would love a cheap fixer upper.
