Vehicle Description
You can get a heck of a lot of car for not a lot of money with a C4
Corvette. This 1993 Chevrolet Corvette coupe proves it, with a
great combination of performance, looks, and price. These really
are nice cars to drive and there's enough performance in this one
to make a lot of mischief if you're so inclined.
This pretty burgundy 'Vette has an appealing upscale look and the
color will get attention no matter where you go. This particular
coupe shows just 69,323 original miles, so it's obviously been a
fair weather toy all its life. It is wearing original paint, so
there are a few signs of age and use but at this price, you should
probably just get in and have fun and give it a wax job on
weekends. The 1993 Corvettes got a few final tweaks before the end
of the line in 1996, including revised "gills" just behind the
front wheels that are a more simplified version of earlier designs,
and a smoother nose with flush-fitting lights. Fit and finish are
actually quite good thanks to the dedicated factory full of 'Vette
enthusiasts down in Bowling Green, and it has never been damaged in
a major accident, so no worries there. And despite the vast
aftermarket of bolt-on goodies for the exterior of the C4, this one
remains totally stock; no wings, no stripes, nothing to make it
seem like the kid down the street owns it.
The charcoal cloth interior is an elegant alternative to the usual
tan leather, and the grippy seats are actually a pretty rare find.
It's quite nice throughout, suggesting someone was careful about
climbing in and out, and while there's some wear in the normal
places, it looks pretty darned good for 25 years old. Digital and
analog instruments behind a big leather-wrapped wheel are both
functional and pretty slick to look at, and as with all Corvettes,
it's loaded. There's a trip computer, automatic climate control,
power windows and locks, power driver's seat, and cruise control,
making it a fantastic road trip warrior and a pleasure to drive
every day. The sound system still sounds great with an
AM/FM/cassette setup. Everything works as it should thanks to the
Corvette's fairly impressive reputation for reliability and even
the hatch area is in excellent shape with no signs of having been
left out in the sun too long. The solid roof panel is easy to
remove and stows under the hatch, making this a great car for any
season.
The LT1 350 cubic inch V8 is a mainstay of performance hardware,
even today, and it delivers a nice, round 300 horsepower. Now
before you start thinking that's not enough, just come drive this
car. From a stop, it'll shred the fat Goodyear radials and there
aren't many cars that can beat an automatic-equipped C4 on the
roll; just stomp and steer! Again, despite the
modification-friendly nature of the LT1, this one remains
completely stock, although it does have a recent tune-up to ensure
it's running its best. It starts easily and if history is any
indicator, should run well for years to come. The factory dual
exhaust system has a nice V8 burble to it and the suspension
remains the benchmark by which many others are measured. Massive
brakes are a Corvette trademark and they're quite effective here,
and they live behind factory aluminum wheels wearing 255/45/17
front and 285/40/17 rear Goodyear performance radials.
There's much more to this Corvette than we can list here. If you
