Default Looking at an 89

Hi all. Long time no see. I sold my 90 about 2 years ago and now I miss it. So I'm looking at an 89 with 112k on the clock. iknow they were the last year of the digi dash but was there any particular issues in 89 or are they pretty much the same as the 90 was. Jim

I think so. I'm still in negotiations but I should be able to pick it up for around 4500.

I had an 89 before and it's basically the same Vette as the 90 except for the later year dash, interior, front and rear bumper covers, cuisinart wheels with Covered lug nuts (90 had exposed lug nuts) and MAF sensor (90-91 uses a MAP sensor).

I have a 91 now and could never go back to the Digi Dash.

If it has the original injectors there about due to fail and maybe take the cats with them.Also its about time for the heater core to go.BTW I love my 89 and prefer this dash to newer ones, also the heater core is easier to replace than the newer style dashes.
