Description

First of all, if you have any questions, feel free to message me on eBay, text or call me at (404) 780-0520 (if I don't answer, leave a message and I'll call you back as soon as I can), or email me at elijahkresses@gmail.com.
Here's the URL of a video of the car running/revving (a common request I get). The quality's not quite as good as when sent by text, but with headphones it's decent. That's condensation, not smoke.https://youtu.be/WCAnKkAi5Pc
Anyway, for sale is my 1993 C4 Corvette with a cammed LT1 stroked to 383 cubic inches, and a built TCI Streetfighter TH700R4/4L60 transmission. I have FOLDERS of receipts for just about everything I'm mentioning about the car -- some of them date back to 2001, but some are as recent as last week. It's got about $5600 invested in the engine, $3100 invested in the transmission, $1200 invested in the exhaust, and $1050 invested in the rear-end. It's a very fast car with the traction control off, but the A/C works great and it doesn't overheat in traffic. Pretty "streetable" car. It's summer time, the perfect time to take the targa top off and go for a cruise.It's tagged, titled, and insured in my name. Ready for a test drive!
Odometer reads 21,470 miles, but it's not the original odometer (not that it really matters, being the engine has been built, the transmission has been replaced, and it's been repainted). Records indicate it was replaced in 2003. Receipts show that the built engine was assembled in 2005/2006, the car was repainted in 2007, and the new transmission was put in in 2012, meaning all have low mileage on them. Vehicle history report shows it's only racked up 10,000 or so miles since 2003 when the cluster was replaced, which is consistent with what the previous owner told me. I only recently bought this car, and I love driving it (nothing like a cammed black-on-black Corvette to put a smile on your face), but I have the chance to buy my girlfriend's NSX for a good price, and I love NSXs.
Despite the aforementioned drivetrain and paint, the car is not perfect -- the door panels have the typical "C4 floppy door panel problem," and the interior is your typical "1993 GM product" interior, meaning sticky plastic here (due to the factory Dulso coating GM used) and worn out clips there. But, seats are in good shape (8.5/10; don't mind the headrest not being snapped in -- that was before I'd fully installed the new cushions; it is snapped in now) and the dash is perfect (obnoxious tachometer is velcroed on and can be removed; stock one works fine). The carpet is gray (I know it looks tan in the photos); the hatch has a WeatherTech cargo liner mat ($94). Due to the bigger cam, it sometimes stalls in neutral or reverse (also dependent on whether or not you have the A/C on) due to the lower idle speed of those gears. Ohh, and the power steering pulley wobbles a bit (the assembly is pretty cheap, but the pump is fine, and just the bearing is even cheaper). The radio doesn't work, either (typical of the Bose systems on these C4s, sadly). Probably a relay, as I doubt all 4 amplifiers are bad. The paint is decent -- it's been repainted once (in the original color, black) and it was an okay job, but it's picked up a few scratches and scrapes here and there since then. But, nicer paint than most 1993s.As I fix the radio and replace the power steering shaft bearing, my price will be less negotiable. The price is somewhat negotiable, feel free to make an offer, but not $4500 -- waste of time. Due to non-paying bidders, I'm requiring a $500 (REFUNDABLE, except for PayPal fees) PayPal deposit within 48 hours of purchase -- the rest of the money is due (by a cashier's check, cash, or a wire transfer) within 10 days. You can drive the car home, tow/trailer the car home, or have it shipped (I can assist with loading, but you'll have to hire the shipping company).
I'm open to trades, but not to 4-wheelers, g_ns, Japanese cruiser motorcycles, or boats. Your trade should have a similar value to mine. Other sports cars (another Corvette, a Mustang, a Camaro, a Trans Am, a Datsun, an MR2, a 300ZX, a 3000 GT, etc.) or sportbikes are preferred. Cash on top is even better. Probably not interested in trading "up" unless it's to a C5 Corvette (preferably a Z06), Ducati (must be very clean), or MV Agusta, but you never know. But, cash is preferable.
Now, on to the good stuff...

I'll include some random odds and ends I have for it as well -- an upgraded headlight harness (uses the original switch and plug to flip a relay, and draws power straight from the battery, so you get more power -- a nice upgrade even with factory sealed beam lights, but a must if you plan to go to H4 bulbs and separate housings), some new wiper blades, some extra transmission fluid, an extra transmission pan gasket (a rubber one from TCI), and things of that nature.Car also comes with the original targa-top ratchet and a spare set of keys.
