vmi_vette Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I just placed an order for a new C6 and I am selling my ?92 6-spd polo-green Corvette with tan interior to make room for it in my garage. (I can?t believe I am selling it).The car is in good mechanical condition with many performance upgrades. Interior is also in good condition. All controls work except driver?s seat-bottom front power adjustment, Bose radio does not play CDs, and power antenna does not go up (non-performance items so they are low on my repair list). Car recently passed emissions. Have records that document a well-maintained vehicle (within last 4k miles - new opti-spark, new coil, rebuilt front suspension, new shocks, new ECU, new radiator, new heater hoses, new brake pads/rotors, etc.). Car has 108k miles. Asking $11,000 obo The car has:Dual power seatsBose Cd/Cassette FE1 suspensionLT4 Hot cam kit w/ 1.6 roller rockers ? installed by AZ AutomastersHi-flow cats, 160F T-stat, K&N filterCAGS removedCustom programmed chip C5 front brakes with new Hawks HPS pads and rotors all aroundRebuilt front suspensions (replaced bushings, ball-joints, tie-rod ends)Z-51 Bilstien shocksEnergy Suspension Poly-bushings on sway bars and rear suspension30mm front sway bar and 26mm rear sway barZR-1 styled chrome rims (17x9.5 front and 17x11 rear) New 275/40ZR17 Goodyear F1 GS/D-3 front tires50% used 315/35ZR17 Goodyear F1 GS/D-3 rear tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously thought about getting her one, but I don't know how much she would drive it. I think it would just end up more for me to wash and wax. She likes riding with me in the Z06. Says it relaxes her. Figure that one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiktrip Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 You must be driving too slow!!! As much as I would like the 6 speed, I think I'll keep mine. But you can still wash and wax it anytime you want. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Togo, We used to be a 2 VETTE household at one point. Remember the cute lil 2003 MSG Coupe we had for ohhh 8 months? LMAO. Anyway, Ken shall still be riding in his black mambo tomorrow for the GB Cruise, as we have not yet taken delivery on the monster. However, the next cruise, he is on his own....JUST KIDDING KEN :D You know you are always welcome to drive my C5 anytime your heart desires. I offer mine because Im not so sure we will be able to pry the keys from Mark's hands once they are in them. I have to say, that is one GORGEOUS C4 there VMI!

sloryde Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Hey guys, Me and VMI_VETTE are neighbors and all I can say is, wow. That car is very well maintained and always clean. As a C-4 owner I can appreciate the care & pride of ownership put into that car. We have worked on it at our shop and I can vouch (is that how it's spelled?) for the mechanical integrity and exceptional overall cond. of this car. Anyway good luck Joe. See Ya.

Good luck in the sale, and don't make me come down from my palace in the 503 to follow up on your helo work.... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmi_vette Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 Very funny GTrain. Now everyone is wondering what that is all about. (hint - it has to do with Virginia Military Institute).
