I know someone in cali that has an 82 w/ that conversion, car is partially done and needs finishing. He may be in a selling mood. I think it has C4 seats, a serpentive system from an F-body, electric fans and some other goodies here and there.

80crabvette, JustForFun, and Twin Turbo,

Not sure why, but I don't seem to be getting any emails through the Forum, and I guess not all of my PM's are making it either. Please email me directly at cneubecker@hotmail.com Thanks again to you guys and everybody for all of your assistance thus far!

Craig

Still haven't got the email, hopefully it will come through soon. Nope I don't fly Robbies, but have flown Bell's (UH-1 and TH-57) Sikorsky's (UH-60 and HH-60) Agusta (MH-68) operationally, and lots of other helos from time to time, but never any Robinson's. Almost all of my time is in turbine helicopters, whereas the Robbies are piston powered.

Default 1982 Corvette convertable "FOR SALE"

I have a 1982 Factory conversion Corvette Convertable. White with Blue leather interior-- white soft top. Also have the black hard top.
Has a custom built 383 Chevrolet engine that will burn regular 87 octane gasoline. World heads with modified crossfire injection. Has a rebuilt 700 R4 transmission.
You won't be afraid to step on this one--it will go!
This is a factory conversion--Ron Flint-can't remember his company name. I live in Texarkana Arkansas but also live part time in Pensacola Florida-- the car is in Arkansas right now. Car has around 60,000 miles.
I will have to check the speedometer. This is a very nice drive anywhere car. I've driven it to Yellowstone before and got between 26 and 34 miles per gallon--speed limit then was 55 .
$25,000.00
