1986 Corvette Convertible Indy Pace Car - Yellow, Black Top 4+3 Manual Graphite
1986 Chevrolet Corvette
1986 Corvette Convertible Indy Pace Car – Yellow with black top and 4+3 manual transmission; 71,050 miles; mostly original condition except for the radio and wheels. The Delco Bose radio was upgraded to a GM CD Player, hich looks factory stock with the white lighting in the background (I have the original non-working Delco Bose cassette which will be included with the car, nd the wheels are from a 1987 instead of 1986. The previous owner has custom rims on the car when he owned it, nd had the original rims in his basement, hich were stolen when he had someone break in his house. He said at the time, e could only find rims from a 1987 so he went with those, nd said he liked the darker inner color anyway vs. the stock color of the 1986 rims. I personally prefer the 1986 rims, ut have had trouble as well finding original rims that are still in good condition. Car has the following options:
AG9 – 6-way power seat
AQ9 – Graphite leather adjustable sport bucket seats
AU3 – Power door lock system
B4P – Radiator cooling boost fan
KC4 – Engine oil cooler
K34 – Electronic speed control with resume speed
V01 – Heavy duty radiator
G44 – 3.07 Axle ratio
UU8 – Delco-GM/Bose music system-electronically tuned AM/FM stereo radio with seek & scan, assette tape and digital clock
I have a copy of the original window sticker and build sheet. Car was originally purchased from Ray Weil Chevrolet, nc. in Amherst, Y. I have replaced many items while I have had the car with AC Delco parts if they were available, r NAPA parts if they were no longer available. Some of the parts include all 4 BF Goodrich G-Force Sport Comp 2 tires with 4-wheel alignment, rakes and rotors, ll 4 Bilstein shocks, aster cylinder, CM computer, lutch, lave cylinder, lutch hose, amp; clutch master cylinder, ew exhaust from the cat back, an blower motor and all tune-up parts under the hood including hoses, erpentine belt, hermostat and housing and low-temperature fan switch (I have original switch), nd a bunch of other little parts throughout the car. Manual gearbox oil and overdrive unit fluid has been changed twice since I’ve owned the car, nd overdrive unit works perfectly. Real axle fluid has been changed once. I’ve put just over 9,000 miles on the car since I purchased it 3 years ago. I will post some better pics shortly, owever we had a bunch of snow this past weekend, o I need to wait until some of it melts. I have the clear Pennsylvania title on hand. Car runs very well, nd has passed inspection and emissions with no issues each year. I have always used Mobil 1 10W-30 full synthetic oil with Slick 50 at each oil change. A/C blows cold, nd has been upgraded to R134A.
There are a couple of minor items that need repair, nd the new parts will be included with the car – Driver’s side door ajar switch needs to be replaced, nd the lumbar bladder motors need to be replaced. Again, ew replacements will be included, owever I just haven’t had the time to replace them myself.
Comes with 1986 factory repair manual and 2015 Corvette Black Book.
Overall, would rate the car as a 7 out of 10. The yellow paint and decals are still in good condition, nd the paint has minor chipping on both of the bumpers. The black cloth top is in good condition and the back window is still in decent shape. The top has a small ¼ inch tear on the passenger side, ut it is not very noticeable.
The car is a good driver, nd still gets tons of thumbs up from people as you drive by. Call me at (610) 360-5836 any time to discuss or if you have additional questions. Asking a very fair $10,500 or best offer. Car is sold as-is with no warranty.

. - I will be sending out the original Delco Bose Radio/Cassette Player for repair to Dr. Don's in Texas tomorrow morningto be repaired/refurbished. He is an expert and has been repairing these radios for the Corvette's for over 15 years. My cost will be $220.00 including return shipping. When I went out to warm up the car this afternoon, he currently installed AC Delco CD Player was not coming on. Checked the fuse(s) and everything was OK. Not sure what happened to it, aybe the cold? I will be removing this unit and sending it out for repair as well as soon as I can find a repair shop that can repair this type of Radio/CD player, owever please note that only the original Delco Bose Radio/Cassette Player will be included in the auction and re-installed in the car. I don't want tohave a Radio/CD playerin the carthatisn't working properly when the car is sold.

Here are some additional pics and info - Lol, e has a mini snow squall right as I was backing it out of the garage, o I had to snap these real quick. Obviously, he white specks are from the snow. Here are a few more new items that I forgot to include. I replaced the steering wheel with a NOS that I found out a dealer ($200), ew driver's side sun visor, the passenger visor could probably stand to be replaced, s it has about a 3 inch hole in the material on the top side, o you can't see it while sitting in the seat, owever themirror and light still operate properly), ew shifter boot, hift knob, nd shifter button and overdrive switch. Also, had the digital dash sent out for repair when I first got the car, o all the LED's are working correctly now, nd it still has a lifetime warranty. The center console light and locking mechanism still work correctly. As mentioned in the original description, have the stock radio/cassette player out for repair, nd will be re-installed before the sale. The are no rips in either of the leather seats, o rips in the carpet or door panels, nd no cracks in the dash. A few of the screws/plastic mounting pointswithin the interior have the typical small stress cracks from being 30 years old this year. No tears or rips in the headliner either. The windshield has a tiny rock chip on the driver's side that was professionally repaired by Safelite, nd has not gotten any bigger in the 3 years I have owned the car, nd it is not in your line of sight as you are driving. Power seats, ocks, indows, nd mirrors all function properly. Even the factory alarm still works after all these years. If I think of anything else, will add to the listing.
