Chevy question and congrats
Although I was unable to talk to most of you due to my own sorting out problems, I want to congratulate Mark on his low 11, and Don on his personal best, as well as Ellis.
Secondly, can someone tell me the local value of an 88 Vette with 75K on the clock. You can assume it is in excellent condition. Also, are there any problem areas to that year? It's an automative with the typical AC etc. Thanks in advance.

Well, I'm not entirely sure what the TPI C4's are going for around here, but I got my '94 LT1 C4 with 83k miles for $9000. But the car isn't in all that great of shape.
Based on that, I'd say a mechanically sound, clean looking '88 with 75k miles would probably go for around $8000-$9000.

I would say less than $8k, Pre-LT1 C4s are a lot cheaper, especially below 1990. But you did get a real good deal on that car Jason, so maybe 8-9k for the right buyer

Mine I got a good deal on because it overheated and they had no clue as to why, paint isn't in all that great of shape, and it had a significant oil leak from the intake manifold and rear main seal. So after a little time over at Speed Secrets, it runs good now.

Well, it'll probably have a ton of creaks and rattles... that's just the nature of the C4. Also, check the weather seals... mine are really bad, and it shows when it rains a lot. Damn thing leaks something fierce. Also it has a lot of electronics, digital dash, that sort of thing... so those things can go bad. Luckily, all my electronics seem to be functioning well.
Oh, and Ellis pointed out to me that the wheel bearings tend to go bad on the C4s... something to check for as well.
Engine wise, I don't know what to look for specific to the TPI... don't have any experience with them.

if its got the digital Dash it pretty pricey to get them fixed if there is ever a problem with it. & that was a Major issue with them when they were built.
Had a 86 Vette once & the digital dash was messed up & I think the price was up about 500 to get it fixed.

I may need to consider a power adder. I am not even close to the Top 10 anymore.
