Vehicle Description
1996 Chevrolet Corvette Collectors Edition
After decades of getting its ass kicked by Italian and German
imports, the Corvette had officially returned to the point where it
could at least offer them a little competition with the C4
generation. With this return to dominance comes the return of a
more traditional crossed flags emblem. The checkered flag remained
on the left, a Chevrolet bowtie on the right, with a circular
border.
Sebring Silver- to a Corvette aficionado, is a color that will be
forever linked with such classics as the first Sting Ray racer of
1959 and the legendary 1963 Split-Window Coupe. Now Sebring Silver
is back, adding a special brilliance to this 1996 Corvette
Collector Edition. A coupe version sports details that include
distinctive chrome emblems outside, and perforated sport seats with
"Collector Edition" embroidery inside. These leather seating
surfaces are offered in gray on this car. For the final season for
the fourth-generation Corvette, Sebring Silver rings in the
celebration.
Exterior
All clean, sparkling and ready to celebrate, Sebring Silver drapes
this last year Gen 4 model. Paint is in good condition, and badging
shows correctly. Spears return to the front air intake and are
reminiscent of earlier corvettes from the 1950's, but in a more
contemporary style. With its rubberized crash bumpers, this car is
virtually devoid of any chrome, and just badging shines brightly
against the silver. Standard polished aluminum 5 spoke wheels are
noted on all 4 corners.
Interior
Gray stitched leather dominates the snazzy interior that features a
semicircular instrument panel that is digital/analog combination
and shows in orange background with black LCD digits and lines.
Noted is the actual mileage of 57,030 miles. Controls for power
seat adjustments, 3 handling modes, and seat heaters are within the
console as is a commemorative plaque next to the automatic shifter.
Gray and black make up the matching door panels, and within the
armrest are power windows, and power locks. Other conveniences are
an AM/FM/Cassette/CD, climate controls, and a large center screen
digital display which is essentially a cluster of warning (idiot)
lights. Nicely preserved gray leather embroidered buckets round out
the sporty passenger compartment.
Drivetrain
A 350ci LT-1 V8 which is electronically fuel injected, is connected
to a 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission.
Undercarriage
Very clean, rust free environment, showing no signs of any
stresses, or nagging problems.
The 1996 Collector's Edition, something special out of the ordinary
offerings of 1996, with its silver exterior, special badging, and
embroidered seating, harken back to another era when the car was in
its infancy, but it's definitely not your grandfather's Corvette
anymore!
