It has to go, can't sit on it any longer, $5000 cash takes it.

Car is located in Jensen Beach, Florida.

1987 Coupe- Custom Black Paint with Saddle Leather Interior, A/C all power accessories & Fully Optioned.
I have owned this car for the past 12 years and am the second owner. I have the original window sticker, books, all paperwork, extra steering wheel, extra canvas “corvette” seat covers, extra set of front carpets and original front bumper plate & other Misc stuff.
I have $35k + invested in this car with every receipt categorized and documented. I also have a notebook that details dates, work performed & cost.

I suspect the engine recently spun a bearing. Car still starts easily and drives but is now sitting under cover in my garage. Car was never raced, started it to go to work and and thought i had developed an exhaust leak. Mechanic suspects bearing somewhere. I was going to fix it but a c-5 literally fell into my lap so I have decided to let this one go.

As you can see from the pics the car is in “excellent” condition and loved all its life. Someone with mechanical knowledge and a little time will get a great car.

Bump for a good buy. Someone with a little mechanical know-how should jump on this.

ronniebfla

i want to see it, can someon check it out 4 me?

ronniebfla

how much would it cost to fix bearing?
Which bearing is it, Tranny? I'm a student at ati. Auto tech institute but I'm no mechanic yet ..lol

THRLL RYD

Thanks everyone. My mechanic is not sure exactly which bearing. He suspects maybe a cam bearing. He dropped the pan, said the bottom end looked good.
Ronnie, my original idea was get into a mechanics class at my local college and fix it myself just to get the experience of it, but my business demands 12-14 hour days right now.
Anyone should feel free to call me at anytime on this if they want more info.
I have too much blood equity into her and really want to see her go to a good home.

where can i get Valve Covers like that

ronniebfla

Thats Very funny about school, The whole reason I actually signed up for ATI was so that I could work on my vette instead of paying thru my butt!. Seriously when you get word about the bearing let me know, Thanks Again-

THRLL RYD

Ronnie, I recieved your email saying you want me to hold the car and that you will call me, please feel free to give me a ring for more info. It is a first come first served offering.
As far as the bearing goes my mechanic suspects rear cam bearing. I am not going to have him go any further into the motor as far as diagnosis than that, I don't have the time or energy due to my work schedule and have decided just to sell instead.
If anyone else is interested i can be reached via phone or email at bodylogix@bellsouth.net

I think with that price you have to list it other places, this place most of us have vettes already, so your chances are more slim find someone to buy a 2nd one. nice car, nicer price.

THRLL RYD

THRLL RYD
