why does it say "no rating" as to price
doesn't say whether it's a good deal, bad deal, overpriced. just says "no rating".

1986 Chevrolet Corvette Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Remember back in 1975 when Chevy tried to tell us they wouldn't be producing Corvette convertibles anymore? Well, it came back in 1986.
All 1986 Chevrolet Corvette convertibles were Indianapolis Pace Car Replicas and came with a decal package which could be affixed by the dealer. Of 35,109 Corvettes sold in 1986, 7,315 were these pace car convertibles.
Anti-lock brakes, advanced lighting, and a key code anti-theft system were made standard in the 1986 model year. The engine remained the same as in 1985, a 5.7-liter L98 rated at 230 horsepower. The 4+3 manual transmission was still available.

Bought for autox & track events as well as cruising around town. After some modifications, the car met or exceeded my expectations. Pretty good technology & features for a 29 year old car. Good motor & everything held up well to all driving conditions.May 05, 2015

This Vette runs very strong and still looks great among many of today's newer sport cars. This one is for the most part, a stock vehicle; meaning no real engine modifications. Only an air-intake vortex power spacer for a few more ponies and efficiency, as well as tuned with performance products. The original front bumper was professionally OEM upgraded to accommodate newer matching Greenwood fascia kit, which turned out to be a huge improvement. Overall, these cars are known as a 'rolling power-house' for their power-to-weight ratio straight from the factory.Mar 03, 2015

Look great for the year and handles great on the road. I have seen some that look good but not head turners like mine. I love to go on long rides with it on good days. It feels almost like riding on my motorcycle.Jul 28, 2013

Lotsa power due to extensive mods: K&N airfilter; MAT Reloc kit; Edelbrock throttle body; Comp CAM; Roller Rockers; Trick Flo Twisted Wedge Heads; Hooker Long Tube Headers; High Flow CAT; Gigantic ZR1 Tires; Beautiful paint job. Have to let here go, since I lost my job :(Jul 01, 2013

This is one of a kind. It's looks like it's racing while sitting still. Eyes turn when this beauty passes by. The power is refreshing and impressive. Smooth on the Interstate and struts in the City. This red beauty need do nothing to "show off".Apr 14, 2012

regular performance,acceleration, braking & handling. need not
mechanical repairs, but difficult to get in and out for mature
people (60 +) noisy for mi taste. external appearance look
brand new, interiors features new leather seat covers (custom to
originals). 72000 original miles. powerful & reliable. Feb 02, 2010

It has excellent Chevrolet quality. The Physical aspect of the build is very reliable. Performance wise, it's a corvette, they're legendary, c'mon. Excellent acceleration and light and nimble, making it very fun to drive. Insurance isn't bad because I'm a safe driver :)Aug 18, 2009

It's got a Doug Nash 4+3 transmission and a removable glass top. It's fast and fun, but a rattle-trap. Possibly because of the year, but maybe someday I'll own a newer one to compare it to. We bought it before we had kids... Now it's not very practical. Thinking about selling it if anyone's interested.Sep 03, 2008

Corvettes are great, reliable cars with good performance and GREAT value! I Can't wait to buy a newer one! You always get loads of attention, plus it's cool to tell everyone you own a corvette, it's a great conversation peice. I wouldn't mind trading mine in for a c5 though!Jul 21, 2008

Awesome car. Looks sleek and sounds great with any aftermarket exhaust system. Just as fast as most modern sports cars that cost about 5 times the price.Feb 09, 2008

My first Corvette, and still in the family. Since this photo was taken my sister's taken ownership of it as a college ride, and the entire exterior and my Z06 rims have all been painted black. It truly looks wicked.Jan 02, 2008
