With the C3 Corvette becoming a decade older in terms of production years, it was time for a refresh. What was to come had to suit the fast paced lifestyle of the Eighties. With this 1989 Chevrolet Corvette, it’s clear that the folks over at Chevrolet really did their job well in creating a head-turner to this day. Located in Illinois and with a reported 99,500 miles since new this 80’s American hero can be yours to own and serve you as a classic that’s practical and useable.

Exterior and Interior

Breaking away from the legendary C3 design was a tough choice for the design team over at Chevrolet considering how well the C3 Corvette sold. With the new C4 Corvette, everything changed with its sleeker and more modern styling, and gave us a peek into what would be the look for Corvettes over the next 2 decades. This 1989 Chevrolet Corvette sports a metallic blue exterior that blends in well with all the quirky Eighties design features such as pop up headlamps. The black soft-top on this car matches the metallic blue exterior and blends in with the set of silver 20” wheels which are wrapped around a set of new Michelin tires according to the current owner. The interior of this 1989 Chevrolet Corvette has a lovely mix of blue and black which help bring out all the original components present on the car. It’s reportedly been refurbished by the current owner with new black leather seats in place. A quick look at the dashboard and you would notice the original steering wheel with the Corvette insignia. A Panasonic radio with Bluetooth enables you to pump up hits of your choice with ease.

Engine

With modern design language for the C4 came a refresh in the powertrain department to match. This 1989 Chevrolet Corvette carries a 350ci (5.7L) V8 engine that could put out a fair 245hp when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic gearbox, making this drop-top Vette a fine cruiser, with either the iconic V8 burble or some music of your choice as the soundtrack.
