I think if you look at my profile you can see more pics. My coupe has every conceivable option for 1990 that can be fitted to a coupe. Both roof panels, six speaker bose, FX3 suspension, automatic a/c, power leather sport seats, heated power mirrors, rear defrost, leather steering wheel, four speed auto 700R4 transmission, 3:07:1 rear gear etc. etc. I bought it last April when I saw it in our local Craigslist. I've never owned a sports car before and never had a car with a posi-trac rear end so applying the power was a learning experience for me. LOL I've had it sideways a couple of times. I'm amazed at some of the technology in the car for a 1990 model. Lots of Cadillac type features that weren't available in 1990 on other cars. Low tire pressure warning system. Anti-lock brakes, automatic dash lights that self adjust for the outside brightness. It even came with the factory VHS tape explaining everything. Now that was an experience watching that. It's amazing how we used to dress and wear our hair. Ha Ha.
It's all original except for the wheels and the rear portion of the exhaust has been replaced. I even have all repair receipts since new. What a find it was and it was inexpensive too. The FX3 shocks are long gone and I understand why. Most people would not spend $1200 to have the shocks replaced including labor. It's such a nice handling and riding car. As you probably know with yours that we sure can appreciate the gas mileage. I get 18 in all around town and on a flat highway I get 31 mpg. Include hills I get 28 mpg. I neve thought mileage like that in a fun car could be possible.
If it isn't broke, I haven't fixed it yet....

Vette(s): I have a 1991 Artic White, Red Interior convertible, 30,000 miles on it, & a 1993 40th Anniversary with 50,000 miles on it
Congrats on your new purchase. From the photos it looks fabulous. I could be way off base, but in my feeble mind I think C4 Corvettes are going to start going up in value. There are still a lot of nice C3's out there but from all I have seen most C3's are either owned by a lucky and happy owner, these cars are really sharp and in extremely nice condition. Those owners are married to their Corvette and understandablely so. Then you have the ones that have been let go and they are in need of serious, maybe even an off frame resto, my guess ten to twenty thousand bucks worth of resto.
C4's on the other hand are very affordable right now. Paid ten grand for my 40th Anniversary (51,000 miles on it) and seventeen grand for my '91 Convertible (30,000 miles on it). I could very well be wrong, time will tell.
At any rate, again congrats on your purchase, hope you come to love it as I do mine. Looks teally nice from the photos.
