Please call Matt directly at 513-708-1468 with any questions about
this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this beautiful 1996
Corvette Convertible in spectacular condition with only 54,980
miles. The Arctic White (10) over Red Leather (703) with a Bright
White (16) convertible top color combination is highly desirable,
truly striking, and looks great on this C4 body style. It is also
the correct and original color scheme as verified by the codes on
the service sticker, which is pictured in this ad.
I have personally driven this car and put about 50 miles on it.
During that time it was flawlessly reliable with no issues at all
and a true pleasure to drive.
There is also a copy of the AutoCheck report in this ad. The report
is totally clean, shows no accident history, and verifies the low
mileage.
The car comes with, two sets of keys and the original owners
manual. We have this Corvette priced to sell and are offering an
excellent opportunity to own a very desirable C4 at an unbeatable
value. The 1996 model is the last year for the C4 body style and is
considered to be the best year by those in the Corvette community.
One could buy this car now and sell it for more than the purchase
price in years to come as the market on C4 Corvettes has really
turned the corner and started to rise recently. C4 Corvettes have
gone from simply being older used to cars to become a collectable
classics. This is especially true for special examples, low
mileage, original, unmodified, and premium cars like this
Corvette.
The very low original mileage is verified not only by the condition
of the car, but also the clear Ohio title, that shows the mileage
as "Actual." Please peruse all of the photos, video, list of option
codes, and other information to get a true sense of how nice this
Corvette really is.
As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle. We
hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our Corvettes come
from owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give
the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and
encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car
inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We
photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the
Corvette, just give us a call.
Exterior
The Arctic White exterior is in excellent condition. As one can see
in the photos, the finish has dazzling gloss, smooth finish, and
deep shine. Both doors open and shut nicely. We have seen no paint
lines, overspray or other signs of paintwork at all. The aluminum
wheels are in spectacular condition with a brilliant finish and no
curb rash. The Continental tires have about 90% tread left and are
correctly sized 255/45R17 in the front and 285/40R17 in the rear.
The convertible soft-top is in very nice condition with no rips or
hole and still has the correct glass rear window. As one can see in
the many photos of the underside this C4 is very clean
underneath.
Interior
The Red Leather interior of the Corvette is in fantastic condition.
The sport seats look great with split seams, rips, or holes. There
is just a small amount of standard wear on the bolster where the
driver gets in and out, which is very typical on the C4 Corvettes.
Please note that these appear to be the original seats and skins,
not some cheap aftermarket covers. The gauge faces are clean and
crisp and the lenses are clear. The carpet is in also in great
condition with no stains or holes. This includes the rear carpet,
which is often neglected. The factory radio works and sounds great;
most importantly the dash has never been cut or modified for an
aftermarket installation. The dash and console are in great shape
with no cracks, fading, or sun damage. The jack handle is still
with the car, stored under the driver's seat. The original spare is
also present and has the nubs on it. This Corvette has never been
smoked in; there are no burns marks and no aroma of cigarettes.
Corvette interiors from this era are not known to wear well,
especially for a convertible, and the excellent condition of this
all-original interior is a huge testament to the meticulous care
and attention this Corvette has received throughout its life.
Mechanical
This Corvette seems to be in wonderful mechanical condition. As
stated above I just put 50 miles on this car with no problems at
all. The engine starts right away every time, runs great, and idles
smooth. The car drives magnificently and feels nice on the road and
at highway speeds, it drives just as well as you would expect from
a well maintained sports car with low mileage. In the video below
one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to about
70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight, and
going through some curves. Please note that there are no strange
noises or vibrations and the car performs quite well overall. The
brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. The
transmission shifts well throughout the power band. This Corvette
has plenty of power and is very fast. Also, the engine compartment
is beautifully clean, detailed, and correct as one can see in the
photos. The car is completely stock, has no modifications, and it
totally unmolested.
Please note in the video the dash warning lights are working; they
light up when the key is first turned on and then go off when the
engine is started as they should. There are no "check engine"
lights that stay on. The horn works as do the fog lights,
headlights, brights, turn signals, interior lights, indicators,
wipers, power windows, power locks, power antenna, and rear
defroster, and blower on all speeds. Even very detailed items like
the key buzzer and hood lights still work. The a/c works and blows
cold. All of the gauges work. Not enough can be said as to how much
of a pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with the top down
on a beautiful day.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 1996 Corvette Convertible car looks fantastic and is
in excellent driver condition. The beautiful original color
combination, the excellent condition, and the low original mileage
make this C4 especially important and very hard to duplicate. In my
opinion and based on our experience the fourth generation C4
Corvettes are rising in value and are becoming classics. This is
especially true for premium and low mileage examples like this C4.
The value of these cars is going up and they are solid investments
for a collector. One could easily enjoy this vehicle for several
years and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal
effort.
Thank you for looking and please do not hesitate to email or call
with any questions.
