Vehicle Description
1996 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
Don't purchase a '96 Corvette and squirrel it away in a warehouse
hoping it will make you wealthy. If you want to collect something
that really might make a fortune someday, try pirates shekels,
Cabbage Patch Dolls, or hood ornaments, or a limited run of Kincaid
painted dinner plates. This car was made to be driven. It would be
a shame to own it and have it any other way.
An Arctic White coupe version of the iconic Corvette with an LT1
300hp engine, nice interior, and plenty of power ready for you to
let the good times roll. The car has been well maintained and is
showing a mere 13,238 miles, but unfortunately the miles cannot be
verified due to a mileage exempt classification on the title. A
close look at this stunning white beauty tells that the miles most
likely are original.
Exterior
Clean and mean Arctic White envelopes this Corvette. Matching
polyurethane crash bumpers are on front and rear. Hidden headlights
and a sculpted hood create a seamless aero look. The rear of the
car sports the iconic sunken in round taillights, which is topped
by a greenhouse glass rear pop up storage area. A body matching
Arctic white roof panel is seen and in the rear storage area we
note the presence of a 2nd top, this time in smoke glass. Factory
tinted glass is also seen all around. Shiny turbine style wheels
are seen on all 4 corners wrapped in 255/45ZR17's in the front and
275/35ZR17's in the rear. Just a wonderful presentation for this
final year C4.
Interior
Black and red vinyl and leather dance with each other and take
turns adorning the interior. The door panels have black central
panels and are surrounded by retina searing red. Red leather
buckets, barely worn with only minor creasing, typical of leather
which is broken in but not overused. These chairs have high backs
and nice wide side support bolsters for when you carve those
curves. On the dash, a cascade of gauges and a left mounted
tachometer create a semi circle which has a centrally located
orange LCD readout for MPH, fuel level and mileage. Digital
readouts are also seen within a centrally mounted larger screen
which has plenty of info and warning lights for your monitoring. An
AM/FM/Cassette player is also flush mounted and sits just under the
push button climate control. The central console in black houses
the shift lever and ashtray as well as a large storage glove box
between the seats, and this backs up to a big storage area under
the greenhouse glass in the rear of the car which is fully carpeted
in red carpet that remains very clean.
Drivetrain
The original 350ci, 300 horsepower, Multi-Port fuel injected LT1 V8
rests under the clamshell hood and is backed by a 4-speed 4L60E
automatic transmission. A 3.07 geared rear axle puts the power to
the pavement. A near showroom presentation under the hood with nary
a sign of dust, dirt, corrosion or patina.
Undercarriage
All rust free and plenty of ground effect panels we note the car
rides and handles with front independent SLA forged aluminum upper
and lower control arms and steering knuckle along with a transverse
mono leaf spring and steel stabilizer offset. With the rear made up
of an independent 5 link with tow and camber adjustment, forged
aluminum control links and knuckle, transverse monoleaf spring,
steel tie rods and stabilizer, tubular U-jointed aluminum
driveshafts. Power 4 wheel disc brakes bring this racy sports car
to a halt and the factory installed dual exhaust is still present
and looking good.
Drive-Ability
This Corvette started easily, and effortlessly went through its
paces on the test track. Good acceleration, nice rail like
cornering, and a smooth cruising at speed. All functions were
working just fab, and the seat controls enabled any driver to get
it just right baby bear.
An all preserved example with super low miles, the LT1 edition in
white and red leather interior. Runs great and right now these
vettes are a great deal! Imagine yourself in a classic Corvette,
snaking along a winding road, listening to the growl of the engine,
and the transmission shifting through as you tell yourself life is
truly good!
