Sorry for all the questions but do you have any pictures of the interior, engine bay, or body from a couple different angles? Has the motor been started since the rebuild? How much would you look to get with it all put together?

That's ok, I added some new photos for you. The interior is clean, no big issues. Engine compartment is also nice and clean. Clean underneath, and it's a no hit, clean carfax GN. The engine has not been started since rebuild, it is back in the car and matted to the new transmission, timed and ready to run. It does turn over freely. I will most likely be keeping the car and enjoying it once it goes back together. It's priced low because I have an opportunity right now to purchase some property, if that goes away, so does this deal.

Any intrest at all in a very nice 89 Corvette Convertible??? Its black on black with gray leather and a L98/6speed. The outside is a 8.5 (perfect 10 from 10ft away) and inside is a 8.5 as well. The dash is perfect...the seats are near perfect with very very miorn wear on the lumbar of the drivers seat). The AC blows cold and the car runs and drives flawlessly.

The only thing I can think of is a headlight motor rebuild (kits on the way) and a power antennta mast kit.

Let me know if your interested!!!

Nice car. I sold a 1998 SS to get my '03 Z06. Also, I'm not really into blue. But thank you for the offer. I would consider looking at it if you were close. If we did do a deal, your wife would thank you when you showed her what they're worth. Where are you located?

Thank you. You're right, there is 3/4 of the asking price in the short block alone right now. And, $8500 total in the transmission & complete engine. Not including the extras.

Wish you were a lot closer. Albany NY, Jesus!

Not necessarily in the market, but every once in a while I see a GN and feel a twinge. Those were the big dogs off the showroom floor when I was in Highschool... many many moons ago.

You're right! I remember buying a brand new 5.7L IROC-Z and thinking I was hot ****, until I got spanked by GN.

Beautiful car, wish I wasn't in the middle of the turbo project, I would take it.

I remember those days well. We had a guy buy one brand new in high school and it was the talk of the town. He pretty much beat everyone local, even a guy we knew who had a real fast '69 Z/28 bracket race car! I wanted one ever since. I hate to see this one go. But it's just not the right time for me, one toy has to go. I will own another.

Beautiful car! Would you possible be interested in a very clean red 91 RS with a bulit LT1 swapped into it + cash?

Previous owner did the build and I have just added a few things to it here and there over the past year. If you're interested here is the add he made a while back.

The body now has about 82k miles, cold air intake, longtube headers, and a few other things.

Very nice RS. But I went thru my 3rd gen f-body phase a long time ago. I would trade it for a '89 TTA maybe. Or a very nice low mile 87 20th vert. Thank you for the interest, that car is very nice.

Nice car. I almost bought an orange '99. I ended up getting a white '98 and drove/modded it for 6 years. Always wanted a hugger car. Good luck with the sale. I couldn't come up with any dough. I have pretty much what you're asking for yours into this GN.
