SO i HAD 2 C4S FEW YRS AGO 92 95 ..........the 95 tranny took a dump 80 miles from home so had it towed $2500 later back on the road and wound up selling it...........so now here we are several yrs later and just seen a very nice 89 "opti spark model with 112 k miles that looks very tempting!! car looks clean in/out and the seller seems to be up front and its 40 miles from here and under $7,000 >>>>>>>>>> have always been attracted to the round tail lights and stock wheels............anyway comments welcome

‘89 would be an L98 which does not have an opti.

To add to the above, the LT1 and the LT4 were the only two engines in the Corvette that used the Optispark. The LT1 was available from 1992-1996 and the LT4 was available only in 96 and was available only with the ZF 6spd manual transmission. 1989 would be the L98, which is a great engine thats very capable of producing power. In 89 however, the ZF 6spd manual transmission was available and was a first for the Corvette that year.

For us to give you an honest opinion on the car, you would have to post pictures of the car and share some details about the car. From there we can help determine a fair offer to make if the car runs and drives as it should.
