My names Rich and Im the new owner of a torch red coupe. The car was bought new by my dad, then he sold it to me. 57k on the odo. . .mint interior. . Let me know what you think!







Anyone have any advice on cleaning the engine bay? I know not to directly spray electronics and that i should probably leave the engine running. . . watch out for the opti or is it less venerable on the 96? thanks

looks nice!

the later opti much more resistant to moisture... but you still don't wanna flood it.

I would hit the front of the engine with simple green and use a very low pressure hose to rinse it off. That's what I do with my 92.

Don't be surprised if it runs a little funny right after... that's why I would do it on a cold dry engine, and let it sit in the sun for a while before starting. Otherwise, the plug wires can get a little damp.

I guess you know the vehicle history pretty well then.
Kudos to pop for keeping it in the family. Nice ride too.

alright, who is the dick that left his car parked in the carwash?

just kidding you want to clean the engine bay with damp rags..... do a little at a time and it won't seem so bad....

thanks buddy. so dont even crank it before i go to work on the engine bay

It looks sharp! I love the two tone black and red interior. Nice Vette

Hey, nice color

As bogus said, the '96 Opti is much harder to "Kill" with water. I have washed my LT4 engine many times.

As he also said though, don't directly spray the hose right at the Opti. And I wouldn't use one of those high pressure wands either.
