Default FS-1996 Grand Sport #163 SW Florida

Its time for me to sell my beloved Grand Sport. It is #163 and came from the factory with red interior. It was bone stock when I picked it up from Rogers Corvette Center in Orlando in October of 2003. I believe I became the second owner and it had 32,970 miles on the clock then. I have since done some enhancements to the car and racked up another 14,000 smiles over the next 10 years and it is now showing 46,442. These have been very babied miles and I can say that the car has never seen inclimate weather while I have owned it. The car needs nothing and could be driven for along time with no worry of having to do any sort of maintenance to it. The car is located in SW Florida and I have title in hand an most receipts for all work done to it. I do not need to sell the car, but am relatively motivated to move on to something else as my interests have shifted over the past few years.

Asking $25K OBO.

Cosmetics:
Smooth front license plate cover (have original)
Removed front emblem (have original)
Painted and striped to match car BMAD
Painted air filter housing
Red MAF sensor housing

Euro rear fender flare extensions
License plate frame with stripes painted to match car
Tinted turn signals and side marker lights (lamin x so it can be peeled off)
Fikse FM5s with Goodyear GSD3s (have factory A molds with three of the wheel sensors)
Custom fitted torch red car cover

Performance:
Rocker arms replaced at 35,332 miles by Bob Taylor on 4/13/2004
K&N air filter with open housing (have original)
160* thermostat
Exotic Muscle ceramic coated long tube headers (have original manifolds)
Cats removed (have originals)
X pipe
Corsa mufflers
4:10 rear gears (have original ring and pinion)
Hurst short throw shifter (have original)
Baer eradispeed drilled and slotted 2 piece rotors (have original pads and rotors)

All black carpet replaced with torch red carpet, speaker covers and all trim done to match as well.
All interior pieces hydrodipped in carbon fiber finish
Lloyd torch red mats, front and rear with Grand Sport embroidery
Aluminum pedal covers engraved with Corvette
Dual gauge pod on A piller with A/F ratio and fuel pressure gauge
Shift light mounted on gauge pod

I may be missing some things, but feel free to ask any questions. I tried to get pics of everything I could.

The video here is from a few weeks ago, the pictures are from earlier today.

Thanks all for the kind words. Let me also throw out there that I will entertain trades. For what you may ask? I don't know, what do you have?

I don't comment too much on here but this Corvette is just perfect...too steep for me price wise but I am sure its worth every penny...I love it from all angles. Someone will be getting a timeless classic...

Bump. I have my eye on another car, but this needs to go first so the motivation to sell has some what escalated. Make me a decent offer and you could be driving this all summer long.

Weekend bump. Someone make an offer, I would rather sell it outright to an enthusiast that will enjoy and appreciate it than trade to a lot.

Bump for the most beautiful GS I have ever seen! If I could have 2 new Vettes in the garage, this surely would be one! Fantastic vehicle
