The L98 makes a ton of torque. Typically these things have some gear ratio like 2.59. You can swap in a set of 3.73s and it really wakes the car up.

Free bump for you.

Need garage space? Get a bendpak you cheap bastard I've had my 85 for 22 years now and racked up 170K miles on it. Ran into space issues and got the lift. Bonus is it makes working on all our cars 10X's easier. I've been considering the opposite and selling a game or two to fund a C4 ZR1. Been itching for one of them for decades and they are now extremely affordable for what they are. Best of luck with your trade. While at it, you may trying posting your car for sale on the corvette forum.

Those are so bad ass, nice! But I just but a gigantic home gym and need the vertical space too. I've never been a fan of the way Vettes ride. Sits too low for me. I've just kept it cause it was my Dad's baby. Been in the family since the early 90's.
Trade ya for that Viper though lol. Freakin GORGEOUS!

I have an '89 coupe. C4 Corvettes are beautiful and incredible value sports cars when you consider you can have one for the same price as a pro. The prices on these cars really blow my mind. Hope you find a nice trade, seems very fair considering the mileage!

Maybe I should buy one and drive it around until it falls apart or gets towed

I dig the two-tone (though prefer the original '86 fender louvers). I used to have a '95 I painted two-tone (currently have a '14).

Good luck with the trade. C4s are awesome cars, and certainly one of the best values out there IMO.

EDIT: License plate got me a lot of weird looks back in the day, but it was referencing the Dio-era Black Sabbath album.

I'm actually gettin more interest than I expected. Mostly tire kickers that want a million pics. Right now it's buried under to-be-donated clothes. I'll get pics when I can.
It has not ran in 7 years. It was running like a beast before I parked it in garage. The batt died, and It hasn't moved since.
The pass side window would not go up when it ran.
My brother had temporary custody of it for awhile and his crack whore cunt girlfriend keyed the back of it and the hood slightly. It could use a paint job and a guy that knows Chevys.
IF it were running, even with the scratches, if put it up for $7,500. At this point the smartest thing for me to do would be to get it running and sell it myself.
That's why I priced it so low. For a QUICK SALE. Not a million fuckin pics, or 30 emails. You bring me a pro and haul it off.
Clean title in hand.

If it included a Obituary shirt and Demiricous tape you might be able to close a deal. And can you upload a ton of pictures, not worried about the shooter lane, but maybe close-ups of seat belt buckles and stereo knobs.

LOL. Miss hangin out with ya B-Rad.
Honestly I've just been lazy about this car. It just needs a new batt put in (which is kind of a bitch) and the oil changed before started up. Hopefully will run then. But after 7 years of sitting, will need new tires too.
Now that I've opened this can o worms I will try to get some pics up of scratches.
This is a busy week for me but I'll get it running soon, and then it's gonna be a Stern Premium lol

Sorry we didn't log more time at Expo especially now realizing we don't know when we will be seeing a show again. I am thinking TPF and imagine you'll be there to enjoy the festivities. Good luck with the Corvette, C4's are a favorite of mine. Do you consider a WWE a recent Pro? I don't have one, asking for a friend.

Forgot to mention main reason I haven't messed with it. With the low tires from sitting, I have to go buy an air compressor to first air up the tires (they're not even halfway deflated) then get a buddy to help me push it back, (it's a HEAVY MF). THEN change the oil, then put battery in.
Lotta steps.
I'll hopefully get it running this week.

Sounds like your lazy and lost interest with it like I did with my 86 mustang GT . It's been sitting for 10 years.

But yeah, I've been pretty lazy with this car lol. Unlike a Mustang GT, which I love driving, I never enjoyed the ride of this car. Sits way too low. *Almost* too much torque (as if that were an actual thing lol). The rear end on this is a beast.
I've only held on to it all these years cause it was Dad's baby.
