Vehicle Description
1994 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
"Despite the limited number of cosmetic and mechanical changes, the
sale of 1994 Corvettes actually rose to 23,330 units despite a
modest price increase to $36,185. Even with the increase in
Corvette sales, the ZR1 Corvette sales continued to suffer with
only 448 units sold in 1994. Given the year over year decline in
ZR1 sales, it was announced by General Motors that 1995 would be
the last year for their "King of the Hill"." Thxcorvsport.com
For consignment, a 1994 Chevrolet Corvette coupe showing 38,360
miles, but the true miles are unknown. 4,066 Arctic White Corvettes
were sold in 1994. In 1995, the Impala SS used the line, "Lord
Vader, your car is ready" to advertise its solid black car.
Corvette may have missed the opportunity to scoop the Star Wars
reference with, "Storm Troopers, your car has arrived" in 1994.
Exterior
It is this solid Arctic White exterior that makes the car a
striking sight and some of us remember that Johnny Carson was one
of the first buyers of an early C4 Corvette and his was white,
forever linking the hue with fame, sunny California, and
exclusivity. This example sports the integrated front marker lights
on a more rounded fascia, while the tail also softens from previous
year's right angles and flat surfaces. 17-inch turbine style wheels
look exactly right on this car and appear to move forward even as
standing still. The smoked glass top of the car creates a fighter
jet like profile and a basket handle type pillar that separates the
top from the swooping rear wrap around glass. Larger than stock
quad exhaust tips peeks out from under the squared tail lights and
this pampered car shows only some chips on an edge, and a bit of
curb rash and delamination on the wheels.
Interior
Attractive two tone doors insert a black panel with switchgear
between red, presenting cleanly greet us upon opening the doors.
Step over the carpeted door sill and into the sport leather bucket
seats in red, with the driver seat showing some significant wear
with faded creases and edge fade, the passenger seat to a much
lesser degree. The thick sporty steering wheel holds an airbag
under the Corvette embossed logo leading to the dome shaped gauge
cluster with rising tachometer, descending operational gauges, and
the speed displayed digitally on the orange backlit center screen.
A dark panel of idiot lights is in the center stack above the push
button A/C panel and an aftermarket AM/FM/CD radio with AUX,
Bluetooth, and USB. A clean center console holds the shifter and
seat controls while red carpet blends visually with the red lower
dash and is protected by black carpeted mats. The rear cargo area
is also a mix of red carpet and black mat and presents cleanly.
Drivetrain
We open the hood forward to a clean engine and bay, housing the 5.7
liter LT1 powerplant rated at 300 horsepower and electronically
fuel injected. A 4L60E 4-speed automatic backs it up and sends
power to 2.59 gears in the limited slip rear differential. Only
power disc brakes would do for this American sports car and that's
what's on board at all four corners.
Undercarriage
Relatively clean underneath with minimal surface rust, clear
knuckles, and only residual oil on the pan. The dual exhaust runs
down the middle, meets an X pipe, then splits out to meet up with
MagnaFlow mufflers right before the quad tips leave the underside.
Suspension is a complex race inspired system of forged aluminum
control arms, knuckles, control links along with transverse
monoleaf springs and a tubular U-joint aluminum driveshaft.
Drive-Ability
We are going to take it slow and short with this one as the 21 year
old tires are dry rotted and cracked. A quick loop reveals a fine
running LT1, good braking and handling we know will be fantastic
with new rubber! Meanwhile, the passenger's window can only be
controlled by the switch on the driver's door. All other functions
operate as they should on this white wedge. While Classic Auto Mall
represents that these functions were working at the time of our
test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at
the time of your purchase.
If you're ready for a Corvette summer, here is a clean '94 in
shining Arctic White, nearly flawless on the outside and with the
potential of some top off fun. Stash the glass top in the back and
throw your hands up in the air, (or at least one of them), to feel
the rush and sensation of driving a 300 horsepower American legend.
Sure, a C8 might have eight gears and nearly 500 horsepower, but
where do you think it all started? The C4 changed the game for
Corvette and is the grandfather of the modern car, even as it keeps
its good looks and high performance capabilities.
