1992 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Don't purchase a 1992 Corvette and squirrel it away in a warehouse hoping it will make you wealthy. If you want to collect something that really might make a fortune someday, try coins, Hummel's, or hood ornaments, or a limited run of "the Artist Formerly Known as Prince" plates. This car was made to be driven. It would be a shame to own it and have it any other way. Imagine, someday opening the door to a Classic from 1992 which happens to be a Chevrolet Corvette. Draped in Polo 2 Green Metallic, this fiberglass piece of road sculpture sucks you inside. As you take it all in it starts up and you are mesmerized by the roar of the V8 which is an LT1 300 HP engine. Nice comfy light beige leather interior nearly puts you to sleep, when suddenly you are awakened by a snap of your neck, and your right foot is to the floor, and you are speeding forward, convertible wind in your hair style. That someday could be as soon as today, if you contact one of our car specialists, or walk into our overwhelming mall, and hop in you dreamer you! Exterior Polo 2 Metallic Green covers all the fiberglass, which remains in good shape. A few scrapes on the driver's door seam, and some heavier overspray on the hood near the hood badge, but otherwise the paint is looking beautiful and metallic. A clamshell hood, and tan canvas convertible top are just the basics. Further investigation reveals hidden headlights, body matching integrated bumpers front and rear, and aerodynamic straight fiberglass panels with well minded gaps throughout. Simple badging, and round inset taillights with dual horizontal chrome tipped exhaust are seen on the rear of the car, and pop up headlights in full working glory protrude upward on the nose when headlights are turned on. 17-inch shiny turbine style wheels wrapped in nicely preserved radials adorn each corner. Interior The dream continues with tan leather covered high back buckets that have enough horizontal tuck and roll tufting to be the new Michelin Man. While being grabbed by this leather, use the side and console controls to electronically put you exactly where you want to grab the wheel, shifter, and press the accelerator to start your drive to hyperdrive speed. A smooth black center console races forward to the dash, and houses some storage, seat controls, and the shift lever. Moving up into the center of the dash is an AM/FM/Cassette/CD orange readout radio, temp and airflow controls, all push button. This panel makes a sharp left in an upward curve and melts into the analog cascade of orange numbered and lettered gauges, which huddle around a central vertical rectangular orange LED readout for speed, and mileage. Nice clean tan carpet covers the floors and storage area and shows little fading overall. Drivetrain An LT1 5.7L V8 300hp small block mill featuring fuel injection is nestled with a 4-speed automatic transmission strapped on the back. Electronically controlled suspension, and manual ride selection options are standard, as well as traction control (ASR). The engine bay is nice and clean, with no corrosion on any aluminum parts, or fading of plastic. Undercarriage Looking underneath, just as nice as the topside, with no rust, slight patina, and very clean, even devoid of road dirt! A solid unibody construction with an X frame reinforcement for some extra stiffness to carve those curves is noted. Independent coil springs for the front, and a 5 link transverse leaf spring rear suspension is seen as are 4 wheel power disc brakes all around. Plenty of lightweight materials have been utilized for this suspension and underside mechanicals, all for more power from that LT1 upfront. Drive-Ability A quick starter and hopping inside those overstuffed leather seats just grab you. After achieving perfect driving position, it was off to the test track where she performed just beautifully, with rocket-like acceleration, handling on rails, and quick stopping. Steering was tight, and it provide a smooth ride at cruising speed. The convertible worked flawlessly, and all controls were also in working order. Dreams become reality right here at the Classic Auto Mall halls, and rooms may contain the automotive pleasure you seek. It's all here including this 1992...a 3 owner, well maintained beauty, which presents very nicely, awaiting to be scooped up for a fraction of the price of the new version, and it's a convertible!
