1988 Chevrolet Corvette Base Hatchback 2-door 5.7l Auto on 2040-cars
Littlestown, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1988 Corvette. I am selling this and my Jeep because I don't need and can't keep up with 3 vehicles.
White exterior, red/black interior, 95,xxx miles. L98 350 engine, 4 speed auto, and 2.54 rear. I get around 17-18 mpg around town, 24+ highway. Being as this is a 26 year old vehicle, it is by no means a show car. I would rate it a 10 footer daily driver. I have waxed it a few times. That said, it has its imperfections. There are a few paint chips, a thin spot, and a cracked mirror. I tried to capture it in the photos. There is some primer peeking through on top of the rear bumper. Paint here is iffy due to years of someone dripping fuel on it while pulling the nozzle out. It has its share of squeaks and rattles. If you have owned a C4 before, you know all about them. Sirius radio NOT included. Wheels are the baseline 16 inch wheels only offered in 1988. 1987 and 1989 models featured a different rim. This is the only set I've ever seen that were chromed. Most are brushed aluminum. I purchased it in July 2012 with 82,xxx miles. I have regularly changed the oil with Mobil 1 Full Synthetic High Mileage. Really the only things I have done are plugs/wires/cap/rotor, oil changes, air filter, fuel filter, and belt. I always use Premium 92/93 octane gas. I have made a few long distance trips in it with no issues. Longest was an over-400-mile trip from southern PA to Alexandria Bay in upstate NY. Again, no issues(and I did it on a single tank of gas, but was buried on empty when I arrived). There are a few problems. The battery went flat over the winter because I didn't drive it for over 4 months, and now the radio wont change from FM1. Cant play the cd player, aux, or AM. Cant eject the CD in there either or set the time. It is an aftermarket radio, I believe from 1994 time frame. The trim piece in the rear cargo area that covers the privacy cover is cracked in several places. I tried to repair it best I could, its fixed but isnt going to win any awards. Like I said, little odds and ends here and there, as its 26 years old. Occasionally when you let the tank get close to empty there is a mild fuel starvation issue at W.O.T. most likely due to there being little fuel in the bottom of the tank and the gass sloshing around. I very rarely ever let the tank get that empty, I always try to keep all my vehicles over 1/2 tank(I'm a little OCD like that). Interior pieces here and there have some cracks around screws, if you are familiar with 1980's GM plastics, it should come as no surprise.The 12v outlet worked some of the time, so I installed a secondary one in the center console(which I feel is a better location anyway). The climate control display sometimes flickers, which is very common for these. Works fine though. Includes the original owners pamphlet and Corvette roof tool. I am located 10 minutes outside Gettysburg, PA. Pick up only. I can meet within a reasonable distance, within a half hour to 45 minutes from my house. No trades. Will not ship. Cash up front, no payments, no loans, I'm not a bank. $500 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit due via Paypal immediately following purchase. For sale locally, I reserve the right to pull this down if it sells locally. |

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
