1988 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

This 1988 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was acquired by the current owner on BaT in May 2023, and subsequent work consisted of replacing the battery, brake booster, catalytic converter, fuel pump, windshield, wiper motor, and front wheel speed sensors. Power is provided by a 5.7-liter L98 V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential, and it is finished in Dark Blue Metallic over blue leather upholstery. It is equipped with a replacement black convertible soft top, 17″ aluminum wheels, a Delco-Bose sound system, automatic climate control, wood veneer cabin trim, and pop-up headlights. Now showing 18k miles, this C4 convertible is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with the owner’s manual, multiple keys, a clean Carfax report, and a Maryland title.

The car is finished in Dark Blue Metallic (28) and features a manually operated replacement black convertible soft top, pop-up headlights, fog lamps, and quad exhaust outlets. The Carfax report indicates that the vehicle color was “noted as silver” in October 2022 and February 2023, and the silver vinyl wrap was removed under prior ownership. The windshield and wiper motor were replaced in 2023, and the right headlight does not close intermittently.

The 17″ aluminum wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich g-Force Sport Comp-2 tires. The car is equipped with an independent front and five-link rear suspension as well as front and rear stabilizer bars. Stopping power is provided by anti-lock four-wheel disc brakes. Work since 2024 consisted of replacing the brake booster and front left and right wheel speed sensors.

The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in Light Blue leather along with a black dashboard and wood veneer accents. Amenities include a Delco-Bose sound system with an AM/FM/cassette stereo as well as automatic climate control, power windows, and an onboard computer.

The two-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a digital instrument panel that includes a speedometer, a tachometer, and a fuel-level display as well as numeric readouts for oil pressure, oil temperature, coolant temperature, and fuel economy. The six-digit odometer shows 18k miles, approximately 5k of which were added under current ownership.

The 5.7-liter L98 V8 is equipped with Tuned Port Injection as well as aluminum cylinder heads and was factory rated at 240 horsepower. Work since 2023 consisted of replacing the fuel pump, battery, and catalytic converter.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential.

The Carfax report is free of accident or damage entries and lists a least one open recall. The most recent Carfax report mileage entry in June 2025 displays 163k miles.

The Maryland title carries an “Actual Mileage” notation.
