93 LT1 - 6 speed Coupe Polo Green $7,500
I am selling my 1993 Corvette coupe with a 6 speed manual transmission (black tag). I've owned the car for 10 years. It's a great car and extremely reliable. I believe it has about 96K miles on the car. I am going from memory when I put it into storage last fall. It's definitely less than 100K. The only reason I am selling the car is I am restoring a 1973 Corvette convertible and I told my wife I'd only keep the '73 (plus the cost of restoring the car was higher than I originally expected). The car is polo green with a tan interior. It's in storage right now, but I plan to bring it out within the next two weeks. It's never seen snow while I've owned the car and based on the under carriage I suspect that's the case since it was new. Here some things I've done to the car in the last few years.
All new tires (probably have about 3K miles on them)
New brakes
New front shocks
New ball joints and tie rods
New water pump and timing chain (figured I'd replace the chain while the pump was off)
all new coolant hoses
New battery
The car runs great, everything works except the CD player. It does have the Bose Gold system. I get 29 mpg on the freeway. I'm 52 years old and have never abused or even driven the car aggressively. I have a four post lift in my car so you can see the car up in the air. I also have a great cover for the car and the original factory service manuals. It's completely stock except for a K&M filter. No one has smoked in the car since I've owned it and no accidents.
The car has a smoked glass removable top. There are two small cracks in the top, but it doesn't leak.
When I purchased the car 10 years ago, the clutch was a little difficult to depress. I ended up changing every single part (master and slave, pressure line, clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, clutch fork, and pivot ball). Turns out it was a bad production run on the slave cylinders.
The car needs nothing. Please drop me a PM if you have any questions. I stopped out today to show the car to a couple interested parties. Here are a couple pics I took. Car fired up perfectly after sitting for six months.
Thanks,
Jim
Thanks again for all the interest - I ended up selling the car for $500 over asking this past Sunday.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. It's really been a great car. If I didn't have the '73 I'd be driving again this summer. It's really fun to drive and it's been incredible reliable. But now I'll looking at doing an auto to manual conversion on the '73 so that's another couple grand. My body off restoration has been fun, but it's really adding up.

Good catch on the color combo. Yep, big Packer fans. It will be hard to say goodbye to the car after owning it for so many years and being such a great car, but I have five other cars and even with a four post lift, things are tight. I think I have it priced right for a quick sale.
Thanks for the thoughts.
