Looks like a beautiful car... but it’s not a 40th. Wrong colors, I’m sure most know they were only available in one color, ruby red in and out, as well as the roof if it was a vert.

Your right and I am so sorry for the miss understanding I would never miss represent a Corvette on the forum ,someone had paced 40th badges on the side and in the seats and being the 40th year for the Corvette I guess I had it my head 40th year 40th Corvette witch is actually just a super nice 93 Corvette NOT A 40th package for sure Corvette . Will remove the 40th badges for sure but that being said is still one nice 93 I just rebuilt the cluster and the steering column as well as what is already stated have tent being put on Mon. should be ready to go soon and is WELL worth the money ,labor alone is properly over the asking price of the 93 .. Thanks for bringing it to my attrition ..

Nice looking ride!

From what I understand all 1993's are 40th Anniversary. However the 40th Anniversary Edition is a package that could be ordered & it came in ruby red.

Would love to know how you were able to get your ac compressor and alternator looking like new. Most cars have heavily corroded aluminum even in the south. My last attempt was with heavy duty ac coil cleaner. Fail.

I am getting close to the finish on this 93 cluster out for rebuild ,no I'm doing it and the NOS column ( very hard to find ) is going in .. Wow was looking for some appreciation for the skill and hard work not counting the time and money ( lots ) to do something like for a person who has taught himself how to rebuild a C-4 Corvette over the years ( don't have to buy it to say good job ) . Thanks for looking..

Thanks , and your right about the miles but I have seen some say 50,000 miles I guess other than the motor and the trans not as in good shape as this one ,just with the age alone will cause some of the parts to need to be replaced .. I seen a 93 just like this one but needs tires seats carpet works has 75,000 to make it as nice as this one you would need to spend easy $7-8.000 to bring it up to this one so there you are at $12,000 easy .. Just saying it is what it is .. I do this for fun , Do I make any money , HELL NO .. Thanks ..

Default Nice C4

I helped radar pick this car up and drove it all the way back. It ran great even though the opti-spark he found later was in bad shape. Cold AC, everything working, quiet, excellent cruiser / hwy car. It does indeed have new tires, brakes/pads, paint, and other things he mentioned. I'll testify to it in court if need be. Given that he knows these cars, the thought was to have a look at the opti and that was a DAMN GOOD decision, because the electrodes in the cap were not in excellent shape. Replace it, the water pump (why not?) radiator, etc......... and I would drive this car anywhere. Cross country, scenic route, twice and back. At 120K-mi (avg 4,800/yr) this car is the best bang for your buck. You can rest assured this car will get you there, where ever that may be. It IS a 40th Anniversary car (badged as such and on the leather seats), just not THE 40th Anniv "Edition" which is the Ruby Red version, and color matching interior. That was a package, RPO Z25. This is a rare car/color, one of 1305. I'd dare to say it's probably the best one I've ever seen, especially now, after the "basic" work has been done to correct the opti-spark and known C4 cooling issues... That sucker was OEM, I guarantee ya. Super nice/extra clean C4!

Thanks , very unexpected but a big thanks BLUICIDE is my master auto sparkeee and he does see sparks fly at times LOL and some time not when he should .. The 93 is the first AUTO Corvette I have owned in 30 years its starting to grow on me well my left legs says yes to the auto in traffic anyway .. Great ride and I have been thinking and decided to reduce the PRICE to $12,000 ,that's a give away price before I would take any less it will make a great coffee table , if I don't sell it local Houston Corvette shows are coming soon and I need some more plaques anyway .. Thanks for looking..

Default Sparks

... were coming off the C5 OTA pipes fitting the GHLs w/o the GHL OTA pipes. Other than that, you left the kick-stand down.
