Subject says it all. I've had a 'vette bug for years, almost bought an '89 a bunch of years ago but things just didn't work out. I've been a lifelong car fan, and I've always had a performance oriented car.
I was sitting in my van at a light, and heard someone blowing around a corner in a new GTO. I wound up driving a couple, but on my way to a lot I saw a bright red hood on another lot, belonging to a red '89 coupe. I stopped and looked at it, but too many issues and the price was a little too high. But the hook was set, so back home that night I did a little research on the internet and came up with a nice '95 6spd targa coupe about 100 miles away. I drove up the next day and after some talking and looking I stroked a check and drove it home. Not knowing RPO codes, I thought I had bought a standard coupe with the Z51 adjustable suspension but after some time on the phone with a buddy of mine, turns out I had found a Z07 car. It's got the wrong size tires on it, but the door sticker tells all. 84000 miles, nice shape, I've been running around this AM gathering up lubricants and parts to do a service.
Issues I do see: the car has a thump, coming from the pass. side, that gets quieter and faster with road speed. It also gets quieter if you turn or bend left, and louder going right, so it's probabally a bearing. I haven't ahd the wheels in the air yet so I'll find out shortly. That's about the worst of it, some minor little things and I need to get an alignment and get proper sized tires on it.
