Vehicle Description
It's hard to find something more desirable for the money than this
1996 Chevrolet Corvette. After all, it has a great color combo,
targa top appeal, and a loaded interior. But when it's also a
well-maintained final-year C4 Collector Edition, you realize that
the attraction goes well beyond the value price.
Sebring Silver is the exclusive color that's grabbing all of your
attention. It was only available on the Collector Edition this
year, and it was the first time the precious metal hue was offered
on a Corvette in over a decade. That's why it's so important to
have it complete and bright like it is on this coupe. It shows the
right signs to be the original factory application, and on a car
that has averaged less than 1,600 miles annually, it retains a
shine that you're happy to show off. In fact, this was held in a
small private collection for about the last 16 years. So the whole
car has seen good respect with well-fitting panels, flush
headlights, clean glass, and large doors that have a smooth action.
A good-looking body means it's a great way to showcase other
upgrades like the Grand Sport-style alloys and exclusive Collector
Edition badging. The overall impression is a sophisticated
monochromatic tone that allows for a truly grand sendoff for one of
the Corvette's most iconic designs.
The light gray leather looks awesome against the exterior paint,
and so it's nice to see it in well-respected and original
condition. It gives this car a full precious metal feeling. The
stylish and grippy bucket seats are all-day comfortable, and they
even have Collector Edition embroidered in the headrests. Plus,
this is one of the best colors to coordinate with the black
interior elements like the leather-wrapped steering wheel, center
console, and dashboard. The revised C4 digital speedometer has
matured into an interesting readout that looks good and is
exceptionally informative. A limited-edition like this also means a
long list of features, including power windows, a power driver
seat, electric rear defogger, control cruise, dual airbags, a
powerful Bose AM/FM/cassette/CD stereo system, and provisions for
air conditioning (it will need servicing to blow cold again.) And
this one has the option between a dark glass targa top or a
color-matched version. And either one will store neatly in the
trunk any time you want to really open this coupe up to the
world.
The final-year C4 was a nice sendoff for the LT1 motor, especially
in Collector Edition form. This was part of the final evolution of
Chevy's famous small block motor, and that's what made the Corvette
such a legend. So this 5.7-liter V8 has the right mix of legendary
robustness and a modern fuel-injected configuration. Combined with
the fully independent performance suspension and new grippy Falken
tires, this coupe has the kind of outright performance that has
solidified the Corvette's reputation as America's premier sports
car. At the same time, with features like the four-speed automatic
transmission with overdrive, power steering, and four-wheel disc
brakes, it will be hard to resist not adding road trip miles to the
odometer. So this C4 strikes the perfect balance of being ready for
quick moves through traffic, or long hauls down the highway.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, a special owner's
jacket, and a car cover. This is a life-long southern car that has
been treated with proper respect. It's going to be a long time
before you can find a true collector car that's also this
affordable. So you better hurry because you're not the only one who
sees the value here. Call today!!!
