The 1985 Chevrolet Corvette signaled a new era for the model, introducing improved performance, refined styling, and advanced electronics that defined the early C4 generation. This example is powered by a 5.7-liter L98 V8 paired with the desirable Doug Nash “4+3” manual transmission with electric overdrive and is finished in Black over a tan leather interior. It comes equipped with the Z51 Performance Handling Package, pop-up headlights, aftermarket Gotti wheels, A-pillar-mounted auxiliary gauges, a Pioneer stereo system, and more. Showing under 61k miles on the odometer, this Corvette is now being offered for auction by its seller out of California.
This example is finished in Black and features pop-up headlights, integrated fog lights, body-colored mirror caps, a Corvette-branded front plate cover, and quad exhaust outlets. It rides on aftermarket 16″ Gotti Z51-style wheels with Corvette-logo center caps, wrapped in Falken Ziex ZE512 tires dated 2007. The seller notes no signs of dry rot on the tires. Cosmetic imperfections include a small paint crack on the hood and right rear quarter panel. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
Inside, the cabin is upholstered in tan leather with matching carpets and door panels. The dashboard is accented with simulated wood trim and houses a digital instrument cluster. Interior upgrades include aftermarket oil pressure and temperature gauges mounted on the A-pillar, as well as a Pioneer stereo system. All gauges and electronics are reported to be in proper working order with no warning lights illuminated.
Power comes from a 5.7-liter L98 V8 engine, which delivers a factory-rated 230 HP and 330 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a Doug Nash 4-speed manual transmission with integrated automatic overdrive. It features the Z51 Performance Handling Package, which adds a heavy-duty suspension with Bilstein dampers. A B&M short shifter has additionally been fitted. Equipment also includes four-wheel independent suspension and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes. The most recent documented service was in 2012 at approximately 59k miles, which included a new water pump, upper and lower radiator hoses, thermostat, and radiator cap. Prior service in 2005 at 58k miles included new spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap and rotor, fuel pressure regulator, fuel filter, throttle body service, and various heater hoses. Additional receipts from the 1990s and early 2000s, including work completed at Steve Snyder Chevrolet, are included in the sale.
This sale will include a set of factory 16” turbine-style alloy wheels and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “This car is very well maintained and treated really good. The owner unfortunately passed, he is a car guy and own a collection. He maintain this car meticulously and he drives all his cars.”

@pm2207 thank you, very 80's vibe isn't it?
Bid in the amount of $5,500
Thx. Couldn’t appreciate it in the video. Those Gotti wheels look great.
@pm2207 the overdrive still works. You can hear it on the driving video as I accelerated into the freeway I turned it on. You can see the rpm drop as well
Does the overdrive button still work on the shifter?
Welcome, I am representing the owner of this vehicle. This vehicle was purchased new locally and never changed hand. It is in good condition for its age. I will try to answer question as possible as I can. Best of luck, thank you.
