Vehicle Description
Corvettes like this 1994 coupe represent perhaps the biggest bang
for your performance buck in the world. Offering 300 horsepower,
6-speed manual, a world-class suspension and brakes, plus an
interior with every possible luxury and convenience feature, you
just can't beat a C4 in terms of fun per dollar. And with a long
list of upgrades, this nasty black 'Vette still intimidates.
This Corvette isn't about flash, although there's no denying that
the blacked-out look gets noticed. There are no real modifications
beyond the wheels, but it still looks like a custom, and we like
that a lot. Whatever the case, this Corvette can stand proudly on
its own merits. The black paint is probably factory-issue, and
while there's some of the usual GM orange peel in the finish, we
bet you'll like the look. Yes, there are signs of use but from even
five feet away, it looks pretty good. The smoother nose and convex
rear bumper make it arguably the best-looking of the C4s,
especially with the tinted glass that adds a menacing attitude. For
being nearly 25 years old, this car still looks and acts like an
icon. And unlike most of its siblings, this one has not been
over-styled with aftermarket additions, offering only some chrome
exhaust tips and the aforementioned wheels to upgrade the look.
The black interior is always a great choice, lending a no-nonsense
look to the 'Vette's high-tech driver's compartment. Those seats
are every bit as comfortable as they look, with a myriad of
adjustments to suit drivers of all shapes and sizes, one of the
Corvette's strong suits. The leather still looks great, with only
modest "comfort marks" on the driver's seat that are more about
character and comfort and less about wear and tear. The carpets
also remain in very good condition and the door panels that blend
into the dash look great. The combination of digital and analog
gauges were an effort to combine the highest visibility for quick
information assimilation, and it definitely works and adds a
high-tech look that was all the rage in the mid-90s. Of course,
everything was standard, from climate control to power everything,
and the stereo has been upgraded with a Pioneer fold-out screen and
a big subwoofer under the hatch. Don't worry, there's still
reasonable storage back there for a long weekend road trip.
Chevy's LT1 needs no introduction, and in the Corvette, it provided
effortless power and surprising efficiency. Its many tricks are
well-documented, ranging from the reverse-flow cooling system to
the water pump that was driven by the camshaft instead of a belt,
and even today it remains a benchmark against which many others are
measured. 12,000 miles ago, it was upgraded with a Jasper long
block, so it's quite fresh. Upgrades include an MSD ignition,
stainless headers, a new water pump, and the hoses and plugs were
just replaced. The ZF 6-speed manual transmission is still one of
the best-shifting manual gearboxes you'll find, and it's easy to
beat the skip-shift feature by simply giving it a goose before you
grab second gear. Out back you get 3.42 gears, which are punchy yet
the towering overdrive allows it to just loaf along on the highway.
The transmission and rear end were recently serviced, the brakes
are new with stainless lines, there are Bilstein shocks at all four
corners, and a great-sounding exhaust. This Corvette wears custom
18-inch alloys painted black to match as well as a set of Michelin
Pilot performance radials.
If you've always wanted a Corvette, this nicely preserved 1994 C4
fits the bill and delivers big performance without a big
investment. Call today!
