1988 Corvettes For Sale

Anyone who has wanted a special anniversary edition Corvette will appreciate this 1988 35th Anniversary model built to commemorate the 35th year of Corvette production. Chevrolet decided to set these cars apart from the others by using a white color theme, and so they painted them white and included these items: • White leather seats • White leather steering wheel • White wheels, and • White exterior emblems • Two removable hard tops Corvette enthusiasts will appreciate the condition of this low mileage car – only 21,667 original miles. It is numbered 0151 out of 2050 produced. The car comes with its laminated original “build sheet” & the original owner’s manual. The digital cluster instrument panel works flawlessly. This Anniversary model also includes the very rare GM part number 10051200 Aero Kit – a ground effects kit that was styled after the IMSA GTO Corvettes. This kit was dealer installed and came with its own window sticker showing a price of $2,317.50. Painting and installation brought the cost up to the mid $4,000 range. I have a copy of the window sticker for this kit. This kit was only sold to individuals purchasing 1988 corvettes. I’ve been told this kit was only sold for about six months. Note the unique “shark” side panels behind the front wheels. I personally have seen about 15 GM Aero Kit fitted 1988 Corvettes but never have seen another 35th Anniversary model with it. Also included with the car is the second removable hard top. The blue see-through version was used throughout the life of the car and the conventional hard top (not see-through) has never been used on the car. One final note about the car. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Gordon Killebrew – Corvette Hall of Fame Member {Inducted 2007} and attending his C4 school in Tennessee. Gordon worked on this car and was kind enough to autograph the underside of the hood for me. A detailed maintenance history comes along with the car. Asking price is $17,900. Thanks for looking.

Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is excited to digitally present this 1988 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport, presented in a striking granite metallic exterior paired with a light brown leather interior that will stand out on any road! This classic is powered by a robust 5.7 Tune Port V8 engine paired with a 700R4 automatic transmission, offering a driving experience that seamlessly blends power and precision. 1988 was a special year because it was Corvette's 35th Anniversary so a number of improvements were made as if a Corvette isn't impressive enough already! The L98 engine got a bump in HP due to the addition of a free breathing cylinder heads, a reprofiled camshaft and a less restrictive muffler package on the coupes only. Larger 17x9.5-inch wheels with meaty P275/40ZR-17 Goodyear Eagle GT "Z-Rated" tires were offered and this was the 1st car to have wheels that large. Inside, the Corvette is equipped with a range of features designed for convenience. The air conditioning system ensures a pleasant cabin environment, while the AM/FM radio and cassette tape player provide entertainment options for your journeys. The leather interior is complemented by power seats with lumbar support, allowing for optimal comfort on long drives. Power locks, power windows, and power steering further enhance the driving experience, making every trip effortless. Safety and performance are at the forefront with features such as power brakes, seatbelts, and performance tires. The Corvette is fitted with rally wheels and offers both bias ply and radial tire options, ensuring a smooth and controlled ride. Now that we got that covered let me take you back to 1989 when a New York man won a TV contest granting him 36 Corvettes, 1 for each year Corvette was in production. Those Corvettes were sold to a famous artist who put them in storage, and they were forgotten about until discovered in 2005. After being discovered they were separated and sold to new owners including the gentleman selling this beauty which was part of the collection. So whether you're a collector or an enthusiast, the 1988 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport stands as a remarkable example of automotive history.
