Vehicle Description
Collectors know to look for the right mix of features on a 1996
Chevrolet Corvette. This was the final year for the C4, and the
only year for the LT4 motor. This extra-power V8 made the C4 Grand
Sport and Collector Edition instant collectibles, and for those who
wanted a desirable color like black, you could also sneak the LT4
through the option sheet with a six-speed. That's what makes this
one so intriguing.
Sawblade alloys, wide exhaust tips, and the sporty wedge shape
designed the C4 generation. And this was its final chapter. The
finish is very much a driver-quality presentation. That's not
necessarily a bad thing. After all, this is an impressive car that
you're going to want to experience. The odometer is believed to
reflect the full mileage, and so you can drive this car some, and
the odometer will still be quite low. Plus, this is a value price
for a low-mileage LT4 in black. So when you're ready to turn your
driver into an auction star car, the already allows room left in
your budget for any professional paint/detail work.
The gray leather interior looks particularly well preserved. The
dash, door panels, center console, and other fundamentals have a
clean look that feels like a sub-27k mileage car. Even the driver's
seat shows minimal wear. So it feels particularly nice to hop in
and get behind the wheel. The revised C4 digital speedometer has
matured into an interesting readout that looks good and works with
precision. A premium Corvette like this means a long list of
features, including automatic A/C climate control, power windows,
power locks, power mirrors, power seats, electric rear defogger,
dual airbags, ABS, and a premium AM/FM/cassette stereo. And of
course, you can take out the targa top any time you really want to
get the full experience of wind-in-your-hair and a high-octane V8
tune.
The LT4 engine was a single-year offering. It's easy to spot with
its red intake manifold on top of this fuel-injected powerhouse.
This is one of the best motors of the C4 era, with ten percent more
power than the LT1 and a wonderful willingness to rev. So it makes
for a great driver's car and a great collectible. It fires up
eagerly, and the dual exhaust delivers an intoxicating V8 tune. The
key to getting the potent LT4 in a more stand-style Corvette was
opting for the new ZF six-speed manual transmission. So not only
did you get more power, but also you got to fully take control of
it. And speaking of control, this one is optioned with the rare and
desirable Z51 handling package that sharpens the fully independent
suspension. It's all part of a package that includes power
steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and a limited-slip rear
end.
This is a true icon that has one of the most desirable packages
around. So if you want a fun driver for today and a collector car
for down the road, you know this LT4 coupe is the one. Call
