This 1988 Corvette has been well maintained, reliable and is fully sorted out for Aussie Conditions.
Ready to drive around Australia tomorrow.

The R4700 4 speed transmission was completely rebuilt by Neil Maxwell of Precise Automatics, Beenleigh, Qld, a recognised expert on these transmissions. The steering rack was totally reconditioned and improved by Pinks Automotive.

NEW: Starter, Alternator, Radiator, Coolant Hoses, Brake Master Cylinder, Aircon Compressor, Evaporator and Dryer, Rear Wheel Bearings, Front brake rotors, S/S flexible brake hoses, Fuel pump, all 6 UJ’s,  4 Shock Absorbers, Water pump, Windscreen, Weatherstrip, Blower motor, Handbrake cable, Throttle Cable. oil pressure sensor, coolant sensor. 4 New Tyres.

RECONDITIONED: Transmission, Dana 36 LSD Differential, Steering Rack, Heads, Fuel Injectors, Throttle body with improved bearings instead of original bushes, Headlight bushes –I’m sure I’ve forgotten a few things!!

SPARES: I have a spare ECM (computer), Heater Core, LED globes, several 2nd hand parts etc

I am the second owner in Australia, the first owner was a Police Inspector who imported the Corvette from the USA and had it converted to Right Hand drive.

FULL HISTORY: I have logged most of the maintenance on this Corvette, since the day I bought it, on this website at http://robhealey.com.au/Corvette/

Also on this website is the story of my search to find this car, http://robhealey.com.au/Corvette/my-corvette-dream/ , why I choose it, trips and holidays in it – I’ve documented just about every part of the Corvette experience.

REASON FOR SALE: I love driving my vette, I get a smile on my face every time I sit behind the wheel, BUT after 4 failed back surgeries getting in and out of this low slung machine is very hard.

The ECM (computer) has an extension to the chip, which I have fitted. It’s set to suit our Aussie climate and road conditions – the radiator cooling fan comes on at 96C and off at 92C, the overdrive is set not to engage until 70kph etc.
