Default Hello all! New guy here!!

Greetings;

My name is Don Bartlett, and I just acquired a 1987 Corvette roadster (covertible?).

Ill tell Y'all a bit about it. It is all original down to the factory tires, and only 25,000 miles. It is Red metallic in color with a tan top and interior. 5.7 liter TPI, auto trans, Bose stereo, Burlwood interior up grade kit.

Still have the original factory paperwork and window sticker.

I just brought it up here to Washington state from Southern California literally yesterday. Did it on a 4 day turn around! Lots of drive time from here t9o there and back!!! WHEW!

I do have some questions about it I would love to see about getting answered........... Ill just allude to them here, then go to the proper forums for detailed format.......

1. Value of car listed (keep in mind all original and darn near a number 2 plus nearing one car)

2. TPI running issues (Runs fat after warm start, or won't want to fire off at all).

I really look forward to speaking with you all, and time spent here.

Thanks in advance,

Don Bartlett

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!! Congratulations on your C4!! Enjoy the car and the Forums.

Check out the Pacific Northwest Forum for local members, events and discussion:

You don't say where you are in Washington but just FYI there is a pretty active group of members in the Seattle area and we have an outstanding Vette mechanic/tuner, Tom Wong (tjwong on the Forum), in Vancouver. He used to have a pristine C4 that he sold a couple years ago. If you need expert help he's the "go to" guy. Here's an old post just to give you an idea:
