:-( bummer no interest at all.....TTT anyways....

Here's a bump for a nice clean c4. I was going to try and sell my 91 before winter and get a boat, but doesn't seem like a lot of interest this time of year.

Good luck with your sale.

I remember going with my Dad in November 1987 to buy that EXACT car at Bryan Chevy in New Orleans. He sold it in 1996. He should have kept it. It was one of the most beautiful color combos.

If you were closer, I would buy it for the hell of it...I don't even have the garage space....I just have a special love for an 88 Z51 DarkRed/Camal

Good Luck

That's one clean 88, Dave.

LowFlight - good story that's cool to hear.. yes the memories of when we used to have them are some times better than when we actually have them-- go figure
thanks all for the props. will just keep it out there and see what happens yes things are soft right now; have been for a long long time. bad economy and seems the person that can burn 10k on a toy probably wants something a little newer.. so we shall see.

That's one beautiful '88! Good luck with the sale.

Very nice. Someone here once described that as a PB&J car.
Cuisinart (spelling?) isn't that the twin of your old C4. You should fly in and drive that back to Cali !

CRUZN C4

My 90 is the same color combo! Looks awesome! Here's a bump for a clean 88.

Rob - Can you post up all of the options? Thanks.

Sure is...89 looked identical to it. No Z51 thank god it was stiff enough to shake your fillings loose as it was.

Just way more than I want to spend right now
Sure is a clean one though;wouldnt mind having one as a cruiser.

davesabo

the 84 85 Z51s were very stiff.. starting in 86 and thru 88, they refined it each year and got the spring rates in combination with the shock stiffness just right.. its a pretty decent ride. cut the wheel hard, nothing - zero roll, unlike base model C4s up thru 96..that dip and dive on hard corners...had a few calls. no serious interest yet tho..

davesabo

tally ho. it has everything. the only thing it doesn't have is the lumbar adjustments with the bags..( that are always broken anyway ;-)... I think thats it...has electric AC control. has Z51 which has most other options has dual power seats..no glass top... only hard top..

clean...glws

sad, no one wants theses great cars anymore.
rare options , original condition, 4 speed no interest. :-(

Just watched a very clean '96 LT4 coupe with 27k miles sell just above reserve at $13,900. on eBay. The market is there - at the right price.

Tally Ho

I don't think that it's a matter of not being wanted. The problem is the 88 Z51 is in a bad spot. The 89/90 Z51 sports the same exterior look but gets you the better ZF 6 speed manual. The 4+3 is OK when it works but the OD unit requires servicing and can be a PITA to change out if it breaks.

The other issue is there are so many 92-95 LT1 cars available for the same money. You'll sell eventually but it will have to be to a specific buyer. Don't be surprised if you have to adjust your asking price some to move it.

Rob - Do you have any under hood pics? What shape are the seat bolsters in esp. driver's side? Thanks.

davesabo

Hi again tally ho....
are you interested in the car? or somebody else.
I didnt take any underhood pics. suffice to say it is as clean as the rest of the car. we all know what it looks like - nothing changed not even an airfoil. the side bolster is not ripped but is slightly worn as is every single other 88 corvette made. again if you know the cars you know exactly ewhat it looks like. its a super clean car.. all around. if you have a serious buyer that realy wants pics of these to places i will take them for sure - let me know. thanks for the inqurery
