1988 Z51Corvette Coupe
(Manual transmission - of course)
The pictures on this page are of the car exactly as I bought
it on September 13, 2003.
With 94,417 miles.
Rear shot with top in place. So shoot me. I have for a long
time made the statement that if I ever buy another black car,
just shoot me. But what can I say. Black simply looks the best on this
body style. And the paint on this car is VERY nice.
Pretty much all stock / original. Only modification is the Edelbrock throttle body. Needs clean up and detail (winter
project). But it runs well.
Bling-Bling. I was hoping the first thing I
would do would be to replace these
In 1988, the hottest Corvette's were equipped with the Z-51
Performance/Handling option.
The 1988 Z-51 package:
Larger brakes
Quicker ratio steering (2
turns L to L)
Extra frame braces
Larger sway bars
Stiffer front and rear springs
Stiffer valved
Bilstein shocks
H/D suspension bushings
Engine oil cooler
Power steering cooler
Heavy duty radiator with
booster fan
Larger front air dam
17 X
9.5" wheels.
Total 1988 Corvette production: 22,789 (15,382 coupes).
Total 1988's with manual transmission: 4,282.
Total 1988 Z51's: 1,309.
New wheels! Although these are 1990 wheels, they are
identical to the 1988 Z-51 wheels except they do not have the covers over the
lugs.
First show. Russ Chevrolet.
Damn, I love this car!
