Sensing a bit of sarcasm. What's wrong with it? Looks pretty nice to me. :confused:
Edit: the 3rd brake light was integrated into the rear bumper on 93+ models, right?

Re: another gem on ebay (vizkiz)
the 3rd brakelight was on bumpers on 91-96 vettes except for ZR1's they were always on top of the hatch glass, and of course the convertibles had it in the bumper starting in 1986

This is about your 1989 Corvette up for bid. It is a beautiful car and I would be interested in it as a replacement for my 1984 Corvette, if you can clear up some small problems I have with the car.
1: It says 1989, but you have 1984-1987 wheels on the car, why is that?
2: You have a ZR1 rear bumper on it. Was this replaced because of an accident?
3: You say the motor was a 350/350, but have no pics showing it. Could you please email me some pictures of the engine. What mods have you done to it to bring it up to 350hp? Stock 1989 Corvettes were only 245hp.

Re: another gem on ebay (polishdevil)
Back in my old motorcycle days we would call something like that a "bitsa".
A little bitsa this bike and a little bitsa that bike.
Basically a franken-vette... :D

Re: another gem on ebay (yellowlust)
from the owner:
Didn't send any motor pics like I had asked, and sorta sounds like she's avoiding answering the other two questions. Either that or she really doesn't know the answers.

Sorry Champ, that's no ZR1 rear bumper...it's a stock 91-96 rear end...

Re: another gem on ebay (UA89Vette)
I would want to see that one in person before I made an offer. You know it's been chopped up. Rear bumper, seats, radio, wheels etc. Was it done right? There could still be more wrong with the car. Getting it right could cost more than it is worth. 147000 miles really brings the price down. That is probably a $5 to $7 grand car. Be carefull. A person could get upside down in it fairly quickly.

That is infact a replica ZR-1 rear bumper. The black molding and the non integrated "CORVETTE" emblem is the giveaway:rolleyes:
