Well I was lucky and found a 90 Corvette convertible, 6 spd.,with a Lingenfelter package, and 29,000 miles.
Pretty clean car, can't figure out what color it is though.
It it kind of, Dark taupe, looks charcoal sometimes? I was told by the owner it is an original GM color.
Maybe someone here knows what he color is called.
Well thanks,and look forward to hanging out.

Not sure what color that is either. Charcoal would be my best guess based on the photo.

Welcome to the site and congrats on your purchase!

No, actually it is a 383 stroker builtand installed by Lingenfelter.

It's pretty quick12.3 according to a track slip I found stuffed in the paperwork I got from the old owner.

The one thing I've noticed, is it doesn't hook very well in1st and 2nd.
Maybe some stickier tires would improve those times.???

Neither, there MT's Ive had BFG's and ran nitto's and those MT's are the BEST. there so soft you can rubb on them and rubber will just come off in your hand. Just dont drive them on the highway or in water all that much. The Highway eats them up, and well water is like ice
