"Forty years ago Chevrolet shook the sports car hierarchy with the
introduction of a revolutionary V8 engine in the 1955 Corvette. Its
creators couldn't have imagined it at the time, but this
lightweight high revving V8 would go on to power more street cars
and more race cars than any other engine in automotive history. The
already legendary LT1 V8 that powers the 1995 Corvette is a direct
descendant of the classic 1955 small block V8" From the 1995
Corvette brochure
For consignment, a 1995 Chevrolet Corvette coupe showing 226,764
miles, but the true miles are unknown. This car was repainted
around 10 years ago and has a new targa top and new seat
covers.
Exterior
Let's say you want a little red Corvette, but you don't want a fire
engine colored rocket screaming down the road. Well, this Dark Red
Metallic, more of a maroon, is for you! Not as flashy as Torch Red
but just as fast! Out back, it's almost as if the tail lights were
meant to color match the paint and wide mouth aftermarket exhaust
tips emerge from under the smooth rear valance. The classic wedge
shaped sports car is rounded in the back and the C4's lines have
been smoothed in the front where the marker lights hug the corners
flush to the bumper cover. 17-inch sawblade wheels are on board and
wearing ZR rated tires. In profile, the car sweeps back with a
dramatically raked windshield and fender vents that look like they
were formed by the wind, while sport side mirrors copy the wedge
shape and send a pointed front to the wind. Imperfections include
minor scratches, tarnish on the wheels, a scuff on the nose, and a
scratch in the front air dam.
Interior
Black and gray plastic cover the handsome and efficient door panels
with black switches, armrests, and door pulls blending with the
central panel, showing a tinge of usage. Gray leather bucket seats
provide cocoon like chairs for occupants and present in very nice
shape. An airbag centered steering wheel fronts a race inspired
instrument cluster that puts gauges fairly close together in
arching curves that surround a orange back lit digital screen. The
center stack houses an idiot light panel, the push button A/C
controls, and an AM/FM/Cassette radio with CD. The center console
is an uncrowded place with the shifter, seat switches storage bin,
and ever important statistics plate reminding you of available
horsepower. Low pile gray carpet graces the floor, some of it newer
according to our consignor, and finds its way to the back storage
area where it presents cleanly. Above us, a translucent targa top
allows some filtered light to enter the cabin.
Drivetrain
Lifting the hood forward gives you full access to the 5.7 liter LT1
engine with 300 horsepower and tied to a ZF 6-speed manual
transmission sending power to 3.45 gears in back with limited
slip.
Undercarriage
Some typical age corrosion, surface rust, and minimal residual
fluids are found underneath. Power disc brakes are on all four
wheels while dual exhaust meets at a resonator then continues in
tandem to split wide at the back entering stock style mufflers
before two rectangular exhaust tips.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
If the miles are anywhere close to accurate, the car doesn't show
it. And the engine starts up without hesitation, delivering good
power and superb handling and this well maintained car belies its
age. We note the steering column tilt mechanism is a bit sloppy and
the reverse lights are not working, but all other functions operate
as they should. 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.
We've said it before, C4's represent the gateway avenue into the
performance and specialty car world. Objectively, they will look
good in another 30 years from now and still carry the legendary
marker of being America's sports car, the Corvette!
