1985 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 5.7
Summary:
Exciting ride on a shoestring budget!!
Faults:
Electric windows are very sluggish.
Rear defogger turns off before window is defogged.
Electric remote side mirrors don't work quite right: vertical movement must be done manually.
General Comments:
This is the best high-performance car I've ever had. Driving it is like being in a small rocket and handling is like being on a roller coaster. The ride is harsh, but exciting. The acceleration is exhilarating.
This year is currently about the least expensive Corvette on the market. I paid $4500 for this car. I bought it from a Corvette enthusiast who had upgraded the suspension, wheels and tires as well as having done quite a lot of routine maintenance on it during the six years he had it.
Driving this this car is about the most fun I've had. Considering what a new Corvette costs and how well an older one like this runs I feel like I gotten a real "steal."
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
