Vehicle Description
When Dave McLellan replaced Zora Arkus-Duntov as the chief engineer
of the Corvette, he had some big shoes to fill. Assuming control in
1975, McLellan led the brand through some of the darkest days of
not only the Corvette but American performance in general. But by
the 1990s, change was on the horizon, and Team Corvette would once
again prove why Chevrolet sells America's greatest sports car! This
meticulously maintained 1993 40th Anniversary Chevrolet Corvette is
a 5,224-mile time capsule that has been carefully tucked away from
time, wear and the elements. Undoubtedly one of the coolest fourth
generation Corvettes ever created, this drop-top is clean, fully
sorted and ready to roll. And if you're in the market for some
choice metal that's as fun as it is correct, it's a great candidate
for your next classic!
RUBY RED SHINE
Bathed in exclusive 40th Anniversary Ruby Red Metallic two-stage,
this sweet Vette features stunning presence that's highlighted by a
spectacular, show worthy shine. Steal one glance down the sides of
the car's slick body and it becomes very obvious that, over its
miniscule miles, great care was taken to maintain a factory-fresh
appearance. Step closer to the car's wet looking finish and check
out straight and ripple-free panels that aren't plagued by any
cracks or major imperfections. Grab the car's well-adjusted hood
and feel how smoothly it opens to provide excellent fit that's set
off by a glossy clearcoat sheen. If you like vintage Corvettes that
are completely true to their assembly line state, they don't get
more authentic than this!
USA1 POWERED BY LT1
From the original 283 cars to the newest mid-engine marvel,
Chevrolet has done an excellent job keeping performance alive
behind the Corvette cross-flags. This smooth coupe continues that
work with one of GM's venerable 5.7 liter LT1 V8s. Not to be
confused with the moody LT-1 of the 1970s, this version was
introduced in 1992 as a thoroughly modern form of small block
motivation. The foundation is an iron, 4-bolt casting, topped with
aluminum heads, that utilizes speed density fuel management,
batch-fire injection and a dedicated ECM to twist 300 horsepower
into 340 lb./ft. of street-slaying torque. Known for its good
manners and calm demeanor, the LT1 is a great street engine. And a
simple stab of the go pedal serves as a quick reminder of Team
Corvette's illustrious performance history.
FORTY TIMES BETTER
Behind that hot small block, a proven 700R4 4-speed distributes
power to a factory Corvette differential. With ample torque on tap,
this Vette is plenty quick off the line while retaining mild
highway manners thanks to tall rear gears. The C4 chassis was
engineered to compete on an international level, mixing fluid power
steering with aluminum control arms, aluminum uprights and aluminum
half shafts. Stops are handled by power-assisted calipers, which
clamp four vented discs. And everything moves on machined aluminum
wheels, which spin 255/45ZR17 Goodyear Eagle GS-Cs in front of
285/40ZR17 Goodyear Eagle GS-Cs.
FUN IN THE SUN
Good preservation is key to any vintage car's interior, and this
C4's cockpit has been well-maintained in virtually every way. The
plush driving environment kicks off with a pair of power-adjustable
buckets that are stitched in rich Ruby Red leather. In front of
those buckets, a leather-wrapped and cross-flag branded steering
wheel laps a conservative dash that's fitted with a combination of
analog and digital telemetry. Inside that dash, the car's modern
center stack anchors electronic climate control above a premium
Delco Bose sound system and a simple pushbutton shifter. And
naturally, all the amenities and conveniences you've come to expect
in a modern ride are present and accounted for, including power
mirrors, power windows, power door locks, and Cruise Control.
Throughout the Corvette's 70 year history Chevrolet has produced a
plethora of special edition models, but the 1993 40th Anniversary
cars are certainly some of the brand's most desirable. Don't miss
your chance to bring home a fantastic example of one the of the
most significant Corvettes ever assembled! Call, click or visit
