George Madsen Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Jim sounds like this gentleman is on an expedition to determine the value of this car. Is my lower mileage 88 worth $20,000 plus? Maybe not. Good luck to Marvin. On another note, YE8=Corvette Engineering Dept.Test Vehicle. Please cancel my order for the L27 engine, I?m leaving the ZL1 in the 91 Reatta.

JWC Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 If I remember right we built a Gray Reatta for Sinatra not a red one, it was a big deal at the time. Manikmekanik I dont remember any special exhaust put on the car at the time but that was a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manikmekanik Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Thank you for your input, JWC!Are those YOUR initials I've found on the underside of certain interior parts?Thaks also for doing such a fine job building these marvelous cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWC Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I don't remember putting my initials in the interior, but like i said it's been a long time ago.On early 88's some have a small dent in the door for the gas tank, a friend of mine made a hand apply tool to re-shape it to fit the Reatta quarter panel, and I check every Reatta to see if it's one of them.
