It was time for a change (again) and the 1964 Impala had to go. So this morning I took off to meet the owner of a 1992 Corvette convertible. This was a deal that I was taking the risk of driving all the way to Fairfield California. In cases like this I normally meet halfway between the two involved parties. I was the one that initiated the deal so I was being more aggressive than normal trying to make the deal materialize.

After meeting up with the “trader” we agreed on doing the deal. The Vette is in really good shape for its age, I’d say a good clean daily driver condition.

All parked in the Manetarium bay 2. I’ll begin checking out all that needs to be repaired or worked on. I’ve found no matter what the previous owners evaluation of their own vehicle it’s always on the generous side.

I’m not a fan of the stock wheels. I like the wheels used in the C5 models. I had a 1989 Corvette a few years back and it sat on a set of newer generation rims.

The interior seats are rather worn but the plastics, console and dashboard are in really shape. I did notice on the way back home when hitting the higher speeds the center gauge which displays the speed and selectable vitals became erratic and unreadable. This will need to be addressed soon. I’ve had to deal with these type of issues in the past and working under the dash board is very difficult considering the lack of room to maneuver around.

The first generation LT1 motor ran good on the short 80 mile drive home. It has dual exhaust and quad chrome muffler tips. The tone is tame enough at idle but definitely has a rumble when jumping on the accelerator.
