I would like to find a 6 Speed Z51 / J55 car.
I'm looking for a C4 that is reliable enough to complete a couple of hundred mile trip without issues and compete in some autocross events.
My 1st choise would be a '89 or '90. My 2nd choise would be a '88 4 plus 3 Z51 or a '91 Z07. But I would consider any manual transmission C4 with suspension, brake, and or performance upgrades if meets the following desires.
I'm looking for nice presentable driver quality paint with working A/C and less than 100K miles. I realize that these cars are over 20 years old so they are not going to be perfect nor do I expect them to be. Although I'm not looking for a project car or a track only car. I don't want a car that needs a paint job or has several paint issues as that's a budget breaker. I'm also not looking to do any major drivetrain work like engine, clutch, trans, or rear end overhauls. I would like to be able to drive it before I have to start fixing it. Worn driver's seat and cracked weatherstrips I can deal with. I perfer the L98 engine as it's easier to work on but I don't want to rule out a LT1/LT4 or a modified motor.
As far as color goes I'm pretty much open to almost everything except green (sorry not trying to offend anyone - a family member is superstitious).
I did have a '86 4 plus 3 car back in the late 80s so I have a pretty good idea of what I might be getting myself into.
I would also like to stay in the northeast so part of the budget doesn't have to go towards shipping.
As far as price goes $8500 would be about the upper end of what I'm hoping to spend. Maybe a bit more but I'm not looking to move up into entry level high milage C5 range even though most agree they handle and perform better than C4s.
I don't have internet access at work so I can only reply in the evenings or weekends.
Thanks in advance for any interest.
