Always wanted one.
A factory top still wrapped with be worth a nice chunk of change wouldn't it?

Another Corvette
Hi all, well I came across another Corvette I had to have.
1989 convertible with both tops, 58,000 miles and well kept.
The hard top has never been on the car!
I pick it up tomorrow and get to wash and detail

Nice Corvette. Make sure to get the hardware for the aux top... those brackets and bolts are not inexpensive or particularly easy to find. Oh yeah, the rug for the package shelf also... another part that is almost always forgotten!

The hard top was the deal maker... wife wanted a convertible and I love the hard top now we are both happy. Previous owner had it 10 years and only put 3000 miles on it according to the title.

Fuel pump will be replaced along with all fluids and filters. Alcohol shouldn't be left in your tank for long periods
Wife has already named her "Pepper"
Parts that I will be replacing will be sourced from Volunteer Corvette

Fuel in car was eight years old and had corrupted the fuel system. Pump, new gas and filter replaced and the wife and I kept it running with fuel down the throttle body until it cleared. She starts and runs on her own, sea foam and injector cleaner should get me to a tune up point. I am loving it
