Another baby on the way. This baby must go! I held out on getting rid of my corvette with the last baby, 18 months later and now I have no choice.

I bought this car about 20 months ago here in KC, previously it had spend most all its life in Florida and Texas. The car has a clean carfax. I recently replaced the runflat tires with Avon Tech M550's 17" front and 18" rear. I retained the tire pressure system in case the future owner wants to replace with runflat tires. The majority of Corvette owners replace the runflats due to horrible handling and harsh noise. Either way, it is nice to be able to monitor the tire pressures from the DIC. I just recently replaced the two back Tire Pressure Sensors with new GM parts (Cost $250 + labor).

This car is pretty well optioned since it came with the memory pkg, dual power sport seats, dual zone A/C, heated mirrors, Chrome wheels, etc. However another major gripe among Corvette owners is the poor sound of the factory BOSE system. I pulled the Bose out and installed an Eclipse AVN 5435 Navigation unit and upgraded the speakers all around with components ($3000 total). None of the factory Bose AMPS, changer harness, speaker wires, etc were cut or removed. This car could easily be put back to BOSE for the purist, but I'll take the Component speakers, Navigation and DVD player ANY day.

The license plate frame was about $150, the custom embroidered LLoyds mat set I recently purchased was over $200 new (Cargo and floor mats). I put in new GM European taillights and flush mounted them. I love the look. Yes, the turn signals actually blink amber in the clear section just the way a Euro Corvette does. I think the look is beautiful....all that was another $500. Some of these pics were taken before I replaced all of the tail lights. The weather here in the Midwest has been so crappy I haven't been able to take any new pics outside showing the car off. Someday I will retire to Florida.

Plugs/wires recently replaced just for good measure, new K&N filter in stock airbox. I can't do justice to how clean the engine is.
The passive keyless remote is brand new and works perfectly.
Everything is in good working condition on this car. Someone will get a heck of a deal. I will also include my brand new Escort Passport 8500 X50 (blue leds $350), which was used maybe twice.
My loss your gain........

All that said, what is wrong? Well, number one, I am soon to have 3 kids, 2 of which will be under 2 years old. So, I just bought a new 530i so I could be a more responsible father. The Corvette has to go! The bank does have the title, but I can get to you in a few days.
Mechanically, the oil pressure sending unit went out and I am having that replaced as we speak with an upgraded unit. NOT the AC Delco part. No harm, it just supplies the reading to the dash gauge and should be fixed by the time you read this.
