For sale in our Dallas/Ft. Worth showroom is a mint 1996 Chevrolet
Corvette. This isn't just any C4 Corvette though. This is the
limited production Grand Sport. As a last hurrah for the Fourth
Generation Corvette, Chevrolet released 1,000 Corvette Grand
Sports. There is no mistaking a C4 Grand Sport for any other car.
The recipe is simple: lay down the eye catching Admiral Blue
Metallic, set a fat white stripe down the center, lay down two red
hash marks on the driver's fender, and wrap the fat Goodyear rubber
from the ZR-1 around the black five-spoke wheels and you have the
look complete. Of course, anything bearing the name of a legendary
racecar can't be all show. The Grand Sport received reworked LT1,
renamed the LT4, that has an upgraded camshaft, aluminum high-flow
heads, larger valves, higher compression pistons, high flow fuel
injectors, and roller rocker arms. All of these factory upgraded
parts were good for an extra 30 horse-power and 500 rpms tacked on
to the redline. All in all this was a very fitting farewell for the
longest production generation Corvette, and with the limited
production of just 1,000 units this is sure to be a collectible
item in the future. This Grand Sport is one of only 190
convertibles made, and with only 4,391 actual miles it is a must
have for the serious Corvette collector. The 96 GS has seen
positive increases in their value over the past few years, and have
no reason to do anything other than continue to climb. With the
incredibly low mileage, this car is a sure bet in the world of
Grand Sports. This is a Corvette you don't want to miss! To view
