1986 Chevrolet Corvette
The C4 Corvette represented a clean break from the Zora Arkus-Duntov-designed C3, with a completely new chassis and sleeker, more modern but still evolutionary styling. �It was the work of a team under chief Corvette designer Dave McLellan, who'd taken over from Duntov in 1975.
For consignment, we offer a 1986 version of America's sports car.� A 5.7 liter aluminum head equipped V8� bored over .030 engine, a TPIS Computer Prom, and a Crane camshaft all work together to show the competition who the real boss is. �Also, a very nicely preserved Bright Red exterior, performance handling, and an improved fuel injection system are just a few of the upgrades included for this consignment. �The odometer shows 27,632 miles however we cannot verify this as the title reads Mileage Exempt. �Read on my small nimble warship friends.
Exterior
All clean Bright Red fiberglass in good condition with just a few scratch offs of the paint are seen, the most noticeable on the rear deck around the badge greet us at first glace.� This C4 does not use any chrome, just neoprene and fiberglass painted red and some black accenting including a central black trim band running entirely around the midsection of the car.� �Dual electric controlled sport mirrors,� a rear greenhouse glass and the squared off rear end housing the round tail lights and we have a great stance for this sports car.� Dual dual exhaust tips are peeking out from the bottom on the back and 1988 Corvette 17-inch wheels have 275/40ZR17 tires with less than 200 miles clocked on them, (leaving plenty of tread to smoke off!).
Interior
I'm seeing red when I swing the sporty shaped doors that present with nice red leather for the door panels and again the tasteful use of black for the armrest inset actuator and a speaker.� Inside we can perch on red leather in bucket form looking like racing seats with their high curved side support bolsters.� The seats have aged nicely with some folds showing, and these have the controls on the end of the� lower side bolsters. The driver's seat has some signs of wear with cracking on the entry side bolster area and Simpson racing seat belts are installed for those track day�fun times. �I notice a full roll bar has been put in, and it works its way around the seats and in the back storage section. �This roll bar is finished in a flat battleship gray color. �The seats flank a center console glovebox and various power option controls such as power windows, power seats, and power mirrors. �The rear glass is equipped with a remote access button that will get you into the rear storage area that has enough room to take the bags for a long trip.� A digital driver information system is seen on the square design dash, and in the center climate controls and a factory radio are all lined up nicely all in black including a warning light info screen which could be a precursor to all things digital.� Deep red clean carpeting covers the floors under the seats and in back for the storage area which has a fire extinguisher installed.
Drivetrain
A 350ci V8 with tuned port electronic fuel injection can be viewed within an original engine bay with the flip of the front of the car. �This engine has had some modifications to enhance performance, some of which are a Crane Cam, aftermarket aluminum cylinder heads, a .030 overbore, 1.6 roller rockers, a Lingenfelter intake manifold with the factory EFI. �Our consignor notes that TPIS headers and a computer prom have been added for a little extra kick in the shorts. �Borla provides the muffler system which is dual piped. �Bolted on back is a Doug Nash 4+3 manual transmission w override. �The rear axle weighs in at 3.07 ratio.� Keeping everything cool is an electric fan on the cooling system.�
Undercarriage
Reasonably clean and rust free, the floor pans have a bit of patina and road dirt.� C4 independent transverse leaf spring suspension is seen which now has a rear anti-sway bar. Updated 4 wheel disc brakes from an 1988 Corvette are on for the big WHOAH and they are dual piston calipers with stainless pistons.� The spare tire had to be sacrificed to do this little trick.� All polyurethane suspension bushings are on throughout.
Drive-Ability
This car started right up and the digital dash came to life with all the stats. �It drove very smoothly, had plenty of power, and the handling with these C4's is stellar. �I even experienced some G's! �For overdrive just press down on the shifter.� A few frowns were noted, although minor... in the digital displays there are some bars that do not light upon the fuel and speedo displays. �The heater worked but there was no AC, and remember there is no spare tire.
Overall a good Corvette all around.� A worked 350ci engine which runs well and starts quickly, and has extra performance with the enhancements one can certainly take notice of when pushing it.� Nice red paint and gracefully aged red leather interior.� All correct badging, pure fiberglass and neoprene with no chrome.
