PLEASE do not bid unless you have the funds to buy and are 100% ready to buy. Survivor Details:A three owner (auto check says 1 owner. but it's the original purchaser. 2nd owner 20plus years and me) car that was loved and cherished from the time it was new. Including: · Never. ever in snow. not one time · In rain less than a handful of times · Never in any type of accident · Used only as fair weather car since new · All original paint (Believed true based on owner of 20 plus years being 100% sure it was factory original and I had a local bodyshop confirm) with the only exception being the rear spoiler. It was professionally upgraded to fiberglass replacement (original cracked three times as they all do). I will say paint looks too nice to imagine it's original. but the certainly seems to be the case. There is no way I could be 100% sure as I am not the original owner. · Never wrecked or abused · Meticulous maintenance records (complete history for past 20 years) · 133. 70 actual miles on body · Has placed at numerous car shows and won several times Tasteful Upgrades and Modifications: The car is not all stock. its’ previous owner improved the car tastefully over his 20 years of ownership. including: · Brand new. not rebuilt but new. GM dealer installed GM 5. 7L Tuned Port Injection engine replaced the weaker 5. 0L motor. Have complete documentation (see photo).

Consistent of two amps. all high end speakers. good head unit. and a sub-woofer with separate bass control unit to adjust the punch to your taste. Not all of us want to go boom. boom. · DEI Valet alarm system with two fobs Most major modifications (engine. trans. all accessories) have 12 thousand miles on them since installed. The speedo / odometer on the car is accurate and the installed mileage is on the receipts. so this is not a guess. All of the modifications from stock were designed to make the car more pleasurable / fun to drive. It accelerates. sounds. stops and corners much better than when it was new. No modifications outside of the spirit above were done. meaning. no race cam or other things that would hurt the gas mileage or OEM drivability. Total cost of all modifications is $18. 78 – have every single receipt to prove it Other details and general condition: · Runs and drives better than new · No leaks. noises. funny starting issues. rattles · Everything works – ice cold AC. PW. PL. Cruise. All lights. Hatch release. speedo. hide away headlights. heater. etc all work as new. Even hatch struts and pull down work as new. Hood struts new as well. · Mechanically the car is 100%. turn key and go · No check engine lights on · Wheels and tires like new condition – no blemishes · All glass looks great. no blemishes · T-tops do not leak at all. original bag holder for them in hatch · Cosmetically – it’s nice enough to take to shows and place at many. There are no dents. dings or scratches. The interior looks very nice as well. The dash pad has ripples (see pics) from age or heat. I put a dash cover piece over it to preserve it from getting worse. It is presentable. but not perfect. The carpet. door panels. console. trim pieces and seats all look great. The headliner is presentable. but is showing some age. it's the worse part of the interior. The paint has typical paint chips that have been touched up. I’d say normal for a 3-5 year old car. but much less than expected for its’ age. The paint shines like new. no fade at all and no peeling on the clear coat like many. It also has zero dings or dents or rust. The body is a 10 out of 10 and for an 89 that’s very rare. I’d say overall it looks as good as most 3-5 year old sports cars you see on the road and nicer than many. I'm sure some would say it's 100% mint. but I'm not like that. It's very. very nice and I want whomever gets it to be happy with their purchase. ALSO - ALL PICS WERE JUST TAKEN BY ME MARCH 2015. so you can see exactly how the car looks right now. it has not been driven since. It also comes with the stock original wheels. extra filters. lights. center caps and some other misc parts Summary: This car is one in a million. It is a true survivor of an era and upgraded to be fun by today’s standards. It needs nothing to take to car shows. cruise nights or jump in and drive it across the country in the comfort of cold AC enjoying an amazing sound system. It draws a crowd everywhere it goes. It comes with all paper work to prove everything was done by GM and nothing is missing. New engine. all engine accessories. transmission. rear end. stereo system. seats. tires. exhaust so and so forth have all the documentation. I even have the GM full service manual. original owners manual. and the extra keys it came with new. Of course the title is clean. no liens and in my name.
