Default Hello
Hello to all. I am the proud owner of a 1989 Corvette coupe. The car, when I purchased, had 6,000 miles on it. The total car, for all practical purposed, is brand new. The leather sport seats a like brand new. Everything works the way it should. I purchased it out of a collection owned by a very large car dealer in North Carolina. Love the car, love the 6 speed manual. I have put 3,000 miles on it since November 2020. I drive it to a winery I hang out at, on weekends only. A nice mix of freeway and country driving.

My lady friend is stating her opinion of the car. She is the only other person to drive, loves it.

Melvin - welcome to the forum. Sounds like you found a very nice, low mileage ‘89. Hope you get many trouble free miles of driving pleasure from it.
