Looks like new. Only 43K miles. New wheels and tires. Original pace car wheels and floormats in boxes.

Column Lock Fix Thanks much for the great info. I just ordered a CLB from Corvettes of Houston. My battery may still be weak but the bypass sounds like a good investment to me. JH

Service Column Lock Message I guess this is a common problem. I just had this message for the first time this last Sunday. I checked with my mechanic and he says check the battery first. My battery is an AC Delco six year battery and the car is ten years old. Also I am not seeing the green...

Dave, When I bought my first vette I asked some club members and a local used Corvette store to recommend someone and they all sent their cars to a local shop. The shop owner only works on Vetts and has owned many of them. He is good and reasonable. Maybe we are lucky in Portland to have...

Repair Job Vinces87, Do what I did!!! Ask the members of your local Corvette Club. You won't be disapointed and you won't have any doubts. Jeff

1998 C-5 Hi TNT, I bought a 98 Pacecar about a year ago with 36K on it. It just turned over 38 and I have had no problems. You should be able to find a good 98 with fairly low miles for around 20K. Get a vehix report on it and have it checked out by a mechanic referred to you by your local...

Great photos Jane Ann, You sure do take some great pictures. I enjoy looking at every one of them. Somehow you capture the beauty and feel of the Vette. Keep up the good work. Jeff

I just bought a 98 Indy Pace Car and the owner threw in a car cover. I have used one for years but this one has pockets for the mirrors and that makes it much easier to tell which is front and it also makes it much easier to put it on. If you streetch it out on top of the car and then put the...

This car has been sold.

jrzvette, Thanks for the quick response. I am looking at a 98 and while test driving it I noticed that the transmission felt a lot different. Much smaller pattern and stiffer feel. Jeff

I am sure someone out there can tell me what year Corvette switched over from the German six speed to the Borg model. Also, is the Borg shift a bit shorter and stiffer than the older one? Jeff

'91 Interior Toni, Very interesting documentation and a great resource for anyone restoring their interior, something most of us will have to do sooner or later. Any estimate yet on the cost? If you could split the interior cost from the sound system it would be great. Maybe you don't really...

Dramo, I had a stock muffler fall off because of rust and went to a good Corvette shop for advise. He installed a set of Walkers which are a little louder than stock but sound very mellow. It wasn't until I checked them out at home that I realized that only one of the two pipes was live, the...

My '89 has been taken good care of and the paint looks great. However a few stones have bounced off the fromt end and taken paint with them. Has anyone had success touchin up these little buggers. I have found a touch up kit by Mothers #101857 for $39.95 and am tempted to give it a try. Any...

Tony, Your expert is exactly right. Many of these guys don't like them running that hot and I admit that when mine first went past 212 I almost paniced. I adjusted to it and was also told by a very knowledgeable guy to leave it alone, it was designed that way. The only other factor is...

Tigman, 35 front and 32 rear works best for my 89. Tires wear evenly and it handles well. Jeff

Found Switch Thanks guys! I found a new one at Corvette Central for $62.50. Jeff

I mostly read and learn from this great forum but I have a problem that I have not seen discussed before. My drivers seat recliner switch appears to be shot(power in, no power out). I was told that GM no longer sells the switch and the only way I could get one was to find a used one. Does...

Randy, You should let everybody know if it is the Bose system or the standard radio. It can make quite a difference because the Bose system speakers each have their own amp. These fry or puke often and it's best to replace the speakers. Jeff
