Corvette Values: 1988 Corvette Coupe 1988 Corvette Coupe, VIN #1G1YY2184J5121XXX. The VIN number indicated this Corvette was built near the end of the 1988 Corvette Production for 1988.

The standard motor for most 1988 Corvettes was the 350-240 motor. Coupes for the 1988 production year with the optional 3:07:1 axle ratio were rated at 245. The additional 5 HP came from less restrictive exhaust mufflers. The engine is mated with a 4-speed manual transmission. Only 19% of the buyers selected the 4-speed manual transmission which was the last year it was available. A new 6-speed manual transmission was offered the following model year, 1989. The engine compartment is clean in appearance, an indication that this has been a well-cared for Corvette. The 1988 Corvette is Bright Red in color, the top color selection for the 1988 model year. The paint is rated in good condition with no notable body damage. The interior is Saddle leather and in excellent condition. The contrasting Saddle interior adds to the curb appeal of this Corvette.

We place a value of $12,000 on this very nice original 1988 Corvette Coupe.
Corvette Racing’s Tommy Milner: The Long and Short of Long Beach LONG BEACH, Calif., April 11, 2011 – Sebring and Long Beach are the yin and yang of the American Le Mans Series. Last month‟s season-opening Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring is the longest event on the ALMS schedule; the upcoming two-hour American Le Mans Series at Long Beach on April 16 is the shortest. The distance between the former bomber base in central Florida that hosts the Sebring enduro and the glittering bayside circuit in Southern California is measured not only in miles but also in culture and style. Long Beach is a street race, a beach party, and a celebration of spring. With only a single two-hour practice session before qualifying and the race, the Long Beach schedule is as compressed as a beachfront condo. The ALMS drivers will be first out on the green track on Friday morning, and will end the day with qualifying. They won‟t see the 1.968-mile, 11-turn temporary course again until they take the green flag at 4:30 p.m. PT on Saturday. So does Corvette Racing new guy Tommy Milner feel any pressure going into his second race with the series‟ most successful sports car team? Hardly. “I‟m excited about going to Long Beach and getting back in the Corvette,” said Milner, who will share the No. 3 Compuware Corvette C6.R with co-driver Olivier Beretta, a two-time winner in the GT1 class at Long Beach. “Sure it‟s a short weekend, but Corvette Racing was strong there last year and I‟m looking forward to seeing how the C6.R works for me.” Milner had an up-close view of the Corvette C6.R‟s performance last year on the Long Beach circuit. His former team elected not to change tires during his pit stop, a move that vaulted Milner from fifth to first. But as his used tires lost their grip, Milner lost his grasp on victory. First he was passed by eventual race winner Patrick Long, and then by Corvette driver Jan Magnussen, who was on fresh rubber. Magnussen was also on a mission as he moved up from sixth to second in the closing laps, and Milner had to settle for his second consecutive third-place finish in Long Beach. “Long Beach is all about track position,” Milner explained. “Obviously pace is important, but track position is crucial because it‟s so difficult to pass there. By not changing tires, I ended up in front for quite a few laps. Pat Long gave me a little push and moved me out of the way, and by the time Jan got to me, I was done. Jan still had a hard time getting by me in a car that was a lot faster than mine. This time I think I‟ll have the faster car and I won‟t have to be defending!” Although Milner professes his love for high-speed tracks, he appreciates the charms of America‟s most celebrated street course. “There is something about really hustling a car in the narrow confines of a street track and pushing the envelope right up to the wall that is a lot of fun,” said the 25-year-old racer from Lake Mary, Fla. “One of my favorite corners in Long Beach is the Fountain Turn because you can almost trim the hedge around the fountain with the right fender.”
