1990 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Zora Arkus-Duntov (December 25, 1909 – April 21, 1996) was a Belgian-born American engineer whose work on the Chevrolet Corvette earned him the nickname "Father of the Corvette." He is sometimes erroneously referred to as the inventor of the Corvette, whereas that title belongs to Harley Earl. He was also a successful racing driver, taking class victories in 1954 and 1955 at the 24 Heures du Mans.

For consignment a nice example of a 1989 Convertible Corvette. This one comes with the auxiliary hardtop, digital dash, and has plenty of new parts recently put on…full speed ahead kids!

Exterior
Turquoise Metallic drapes the fiberglass panels, and molded plastic crash bumpers on this, a Corvette with the lowest angle windshield rake to this date. This body shares many of the features of the all new supercar killer, the ZR1. Hidden headlights, a black belt line black molding, a beautiful black convertible top that hides itself under a plastic molded tonneau, and a removable hardtop for the coupe-like driving experience with added safety. Further investigation reveals body matching integrated bumpers front and rear, and aerodynamic straight fiberglass panels with well minded gaps throughout. Simple badging, and round-ish inset taillights with dual tipped exhaust are seen on the rear of the car. Turbine style 17-inch alloy wheels are on all 4 corners and are wrapped in blackwall Sumitomo rubber. Vroom Vroom!

Interior
Mesmerizing black carpet mats cover pristine black carpet that floods the floors, and the back trunk area, and it is a deep, deep black, in very good condition. Black inserts with black bolster leather buckets showing some patina with minor folds, and slight wear, flank a black center console/storage unit. This also houses the shifter for the 6-speed manual transmission, climate control, AM/FM/Cassette/CD, and a data center with a screen to display information regarding temperatures and other key components of the engine. A digital display is seen in front of the original leather wrapped steering wheel for RPM/Speed and Oil Pressure/Volts and Fuel range. Controls for power windows, power mirrors, and cruise control are also noted.

Drivetrain
A 350ci 250 horsepower, Tuned-Port fuel injected L98 V8 engine rests within the engine bay which is very clean with an overall nice patina. A ZF spec 6-speed manual transmission is attached to the back of the mill. The rear axle has a 3.33 limited slip gear ratio.

Undercarriage
Very clean, well maintained, rust free, structurally sound, undercoating intact on floor pans, no real leakage to speak of in engine/transmission area, and frame is unscathed…what more could one ask for!? How about 4-wheel power disc brakes, and C4 suspension all around…

Drive-Ability
This car started right up and ran beautifully throughout our test ride. The only issue that crept up is that the release for the hardtop wouldn't let go on the passenger side so we couldn't view the soft top or enjoy some early December top down motoring.

A very nice 4th gen example of a Corvette, complete with its build sheet, window sticker and presenting in all original, (other than tires), form. That snazzy tech digital dash, and stunning black leather seats, all buttoned up and cared for by this Corvette Collector Consigner.
