Well I don't know what all everyone else has replaced / repaired however My 89 has had a few problems with the digital heat / ac controls + the programmer for the same. I replaced the radiator and still can't get all the air out of the cooling system although I've burped it several times and no leaks in the system. The squeaks in the dash had to be addressed as well asthe fuel tank sending unit & fuel pump. The tires are always in need of rotating and balancingbecause I don't drive it enough, But all in all I love my car!!!

Holy cow!! That about covers quite a few major items! Maybe your shift ****? Your lighter and ashtray??LOL!!! You probably won't need much more other than keep up with your maintenance religiously and you should keep your Vette on the road where it belongs for years to come.Good luck!

Well the only other thing that I can think that you'll have to replace would be a your windshield...lol. It looks like you covered everything else. I drive an 86' and I'm sorry you had to deal with all that crap. When I bought mine, I had to fix things but not nearly that much.
