1989 Chevrolet Corvette Description

Minor flaws in the paint, but very minor given the age of the vehicle. The car is in great condition, but it's not a show vehicle yet. It runs well and performs well. If you have any specific questions about the vehicle, let me know and I'll gladly answer them.
This may not be a show vehicle, but it is an excellent daily driver. I love the car to death, but my wife does not, unfortunately, due to the fact that it's a manual, first, and secondly because of the "fall in, climb out" that happens when you have a car set as low as a Corvette.
The '89 was the first year of the six speed manual transmission, and it shifts well and smoothly through all the gears. The sixth gear is very steep, allowing the car to get up to 36 mpg on the highway. Generally, I average 31-33 mpg on the highway, but it's not hard to keep it at 35. The car has an aftermarket Flowmaster exhaust system that's not overwhelming while cruising, but lets the V8 sing at higher RPM's.
The lights still rotate perfectly, all fog lamps, cornering lights, and tail lights work as they should. I just replaced the alternator, starter, battery, radiator T, and idle air control valve. The radiator is also fairly new, and it's beefier than the stock one. The brakes are a couple years old, but in good shape, and the tires have about 50-60% left on them. I have an aftermarket steering wheel, but I kept the stock one boxed as well. The hatchback still works and the driver side window motor is fairly new and works great. Stereo works and plays music with clarity, but that's about it. the back speakers were disconnected at some point in the past as well.
The vehicle has never been in a wreck, and the title is clean, free of any liens, etc. If you have any questions about the vehicle whatsoever, please let me know and I'll get back to you as quickly as I can.
The price is negotiable within reason. Thanks for viewing!
