1997 Chevy Corvette Red Coupe!

I bought this car in West Covina, California in March 2008. I purchased it on autotrader.com from a woman who lived in southern California. I flew to California and drove it back to Montana. It had 63,800 original miles when I bought it. She was only the second owner, and the car had been in California its whole life until it came to Montana. It has also been garaged its whole life and only driven when the weather was nice. I feel that it is a very reliable car, and I always felt comfortable hopping in this car and taking it anywhere. I just went to Pierre, SD this last August. It was a flawless trip that totaled 2,000 miles roundtrip and I averaged 30 miles per gallon.

Features & Conditions

  • Currently 72,110 miles!
  • Two removable tops - Red Fiberglass and a Tinted Clear top. The Red Fiberglass top has a few spider cracks and the clear on is in great shape. (See pictures)
  • Factory wheels have been chromed - they are in nice shape with a few chrome chips from normal wear & tear. (See pictures )
  • Contour fit black corvette splashguards
  • Corvette sport seats - it came with regular corvette seats but I replaced them with the sports seats. All electronic features work on both seats.
  • Traction Control
  • Option F45 - Selective Ride Control: Tour, Sport, and Performance
  • Bose Stereo
  • Single Disc CD Changer in the dash
  • 12 Disc CD Changer in the rear compartment
  • Dual Climate control
  • 4 New Falken FK series 452 Tires with 7,902 miles on them. It received a fresh four wheel alignment when the new tires were installed. These are NOT run flat tires.
  • New brake rotors and brake pads replaced with premium Napa parts in March 2008. It also has matching red Z06 calipers that say Corvette on them.
  • New coolant surge tank and coolant hose installed on 8/1/2008 with 67,000 miles.
  • Oil changed on 10/15/2008 with 68,900 miles. Mobil One Synthetic Oil and Filter.
  • 2 new key fobs were ordered and programmed on 10/15/2008 with 68,900 miles.
  • New water pump, new thermostat, and all new gaskets installed on 11/22/2008 with 68,975 miles.
  • Most installations were done by a local Chevy authorized Corvette dealer.
  • Clean car fax report

Few Imperfections

  • The paint behind the tires has a little peppering from being driven this is a clean, sharp, driver car. (see pictures)
  • There is a crack in the front fascia (front bumper cover) under the left turn signal. The underneath of the front fascia had a few cracks & scrapes on it when I got it. (see pictures) NOTE: I have a new front fascia , primer in color, in the plastic from GM - Part #10433080. Would be willing to negotiate a price if interested. Is NOT included with the purchase of the car.
  • There is also some light bubbling on the inside drivers door panel/armrest. (see pictures)

This is a very nice, clean car that runs and drives awesome! All of the mechanical and electrical components work great. Everything is stock GM parts - nothing is custom - all original. In addition, I have some memorabilia from the original owner. The new owner will receive this memorabilia (see pictures). I also have a 3-ring binder with all of the receipts and documentation that I have done to the car.

Questions and answers about this item
 Q: History report says not actual miles. What's up with that?
A: I was actually curious about this myself, so I called my local Dept of Motor Vehicle and they told me that it was simply because I have a lien on the car. I registered the car on 4/18/2008 with 63,964 miles (and no lien).... Continue reading
