So,

In selling my fathers 40 foot motorhome for my mom, I ended up getting cash and a trade of a 1990 corvette.

Interesting ride, blue with tan interior.

Needs some clear cost touch up and the seats need leatherique...and possibly the middle arm rest needs new padding.

I will play with it for a while, then sell it.

A 1990 Corvette?
OK, I have to ask, " (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) is the point"? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (Sorry, I couldn't help it).

IMHO GM was having some identity crisis issues when they built that model.

Wow, the front trunk is huge. You could store a whole other car in there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

My girl friend drives a 96, last year of
the c4. Total piece of crap. I won't drive it.
That 90 is worth less than 5k. I really
hate working on it

Yes, its a one piece top that stores in the trunk.
Weighs about40 pounds, takes 2 people and
20 minutes to remove it. Leaks worse than a 914.

corvettes are easier to sell than motorhomes. Sounds like a good business decision.

...from the guy who makes fun of me for having a Miata? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Really?

You should at least take it to the track for a DE once and flog it before you sell it!

Congratulations on having something a little different. I think it's cool and so would Milhous' mom. Nice.

Ding, we have a winner.

I got what we wanted in cash for the motorhome, plus this car.
So, the car will get cleaned up and sold.

Plan to see how if runs on the drag strip, maybe one night.

Fix the clearcoat, make the interior look much better...pass it along to the next happy owner.

Corvette versus Miata....no comparison, sorry.
Besides, I got his in place of more cash...it made the deal happen on the motorhome...which I have been trying to sell for a LOOOOOOOONNGGGG time.

Happy to see a couple take the motorhome, they will enjoy it.
The longer those things sit, the longer the list of things to fix becomes...and the more bee spray you need to buy.

I have to agree,, I have a 87 corvette convert taken in on a trade also... It's a left over muscle car of sorts!!! Big torq, handles ok, it's loud, rattles and leaks... Put the top down and do errands and smile the whole time.... I might even break out my gold chains... I was going to flip it and it will probably go once the 914 is done but in the mean time I enjoy it for what's its not!!!! So I like tacky loud cars every once in awhile!!!! and hardly a mustang goes by not wanting to run it!!!!

Enjoy the car and have a little fun!!!!!?

Good year, new dash, but old front and rear bumpers, one year only car, Rare color combo as well. Should sell if miles are low.
