Well there you go Branden, you said you had your heart set on a 6 speed '89.

It would certainly be your beast.

It would also cost more then a down payment on a fairly nice house beautiful car though! Maybe a forum member will see this thread and buy it, or get more info on it.

Beautiful to look at but I have little interest in another "museum" piece. My neighbor has an 87 6 speed with lowered suspension with a road racing setup, Wilwood brakes and an LT motor tuned to 550 hp. He has close to 200k miles on it and of course, drives it daily. Not much to look at but plenty heart and soul.

Looking at it another way, it's significantly less than a new Corvette and is on par with a below-average to average quality driver small block C2.

It's 15-20 minutes up the road from me. It's too much $$$ for a C4 though. There are a lot of better rides for that much cash.

A lot of money for sure especially considering what the options are for comparable performance in that price range but certainly a well kept example of a limited production C4.

A forum member is selling one for $16k. Condition is not as good, but throw a $8k paint job at it and off you go.

I don't think the owner will ever find a buyer at that price on Craigslist. He should try Hemmings instead or a high end auction venue to find the better money offers.
