Vehicle Description
Rare, distinctive, and powerful, this 1996 Chevrolet Corvette
Collector Edition is a true custom standout that even has its
fuel-injected V8 upgraded to go with its speedier appearance. So
when you can pick up a special edition icon with added power and
poise - all for an affordable price - then you know you're looking
at something special.
Chevrolet gave the C4 Corvette a grand sendoff in '96 with a
limited edition model that will forever be a standout. The Sebring
Silver paint is an instant attractor to Corvette people because
they know it's an exclusive color. Plus, the great care with this
precious metal hue means you'll impress casual onlookers with an
attractive luster every time the sunshine hits it. So everyone
knows this is something special even before they spot the Collector
Edition badging. But there's much more than just the paint and
heritage that grabs your attention. The addition of the Toledo Pro
cowl hood (a $1,500 feature) adds instant aggression and further
emphasizes the wedge shape we all love in these C4s. And those
bright C6 Z06 style wheels add plenty of flair as they give us a
sneak peek at the upgraded brake package. Plus, the tinted windows,
dark glass targa roof, black door handles, smoked parking light
lenses, and darkened taillight panel all come together to give this
Corvette a well-coordinated dark side.
The black leather inside continues the dark accents from the
exterior. And just like any good limited edition Corvette, the
interior nicely combines a sporty feeling with plenty of premium
features. The revised C4 digital speedometer has matured into an
interesting readout that looks good and works flawlessly. It comes
loaded with power windows, power locks, power mirrors, power seats,
electric rear defogger, control cruise, and dual airbags. Plus, the
stereo system has been upgraded to a modern Pioneer CD/DVD/iPod
head unit with remote. It runs the premium Focal speaker system and
amplified 12-inch Alpine subwoofer. So you better believe you can
still hear your favorite tuned loud-n-clear even when you're
hitting triple-digit speeds with the targa roof out. And speaking
of being open to the world, the automatic climate control is there
to make sure you always stay as cool as you look behind the
wheel.
If you're going to get a C4, you want a later model like this, and
the 350 cubic-inch LT1 V8 is the reason. The fuel-injected
small-block has a legendary reputation for performance,
reliability, and upgradability. In fact, you can see that this
original powerplant has already been invested in for both style and
performance. We love the way the SLP cold air intake shines with
the rest of the upgraded components. Plus, a VMS mass air flow
sensor and 58mm ported throttle body help unleash the full
potential of this V8. With a fully independent sports suspension,
four-wheel disc brakes, grippy Hankook Ventus V12 EVO, and a
four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive, this is the full
grand touring package. But no matter if you're a collector or a
driver, what you'll love the most is the optional F45 Selective
Real Time Dampening suspension package. A forerunner to MagneRide
in modern Corvettes, a computer uses current ride data to calculate
the damping mode for optimum control. It can then individually
adjust special shock absorbers every 10 to 15 milliseconds. This
did not find many takers in 1996 because it was one of the most
expensive options on the list...but this one has it!
The sale comes complete with a car cover, owner's manual, and a
service manual. It's the low-mileage collectable and custom
Corvette you've been waiting a long time to find, and if you hurry,
it can be yours for a fantastic price. Call today!!!
