The last C4 Corvette rolled off the assembly line in Bowling Green,
Kentucky on June 20, 1996, and Chevrolet made sure to send it off
properly. For the final year of a generation that had run since
1984, they offered two special editions to close the chapter: the
Grand Sport and the Collector Edition. Every single Collector
Edition was finished in Sebring Silver, a color chosen specifically
to reference the legendary 1963 split-window Sting Ray, connecting
the end of the C4 era directly back to one of the most beloved
Corvettes ever built. This one is a convertible, finished in that
exclusive silver with matching five-spoke silver wheels, Collector
Edition chrome badges, and red Collector Edition embroidery on the
headrests, and the interior is clean and well kept throughout.
Under the hood is the 5.7 liter LT1 V8 backed by the four speed
automatic, producing 300 horsepower and 335 pound-feet of torque.
The LT1 had been the backbone of the C4 since 1992 and was one of
the strongest naturally aspirated small blocks Chevrolet had built
up to that point. The C4 generation as a whole had navigated some
of the most difficult emissions and fuel economy regulations in
automotive history and come out the other side still producing
genuine performance numbers, which was no small achievement for the
era. Power everything is present and working, and the cabin is
clean and ready to enjoy.
The Collector Edition convertible was the most open and expressive
way to experience the final C4, and the combination of Sebring
Silver over red-embroidered black leather with the top down is
about as correct as a C4 finish can get. These were not built in
extremely limited numbers, but the Collector Edition convertible in
this condition is a documented, specific piece of Corvette history
with a story attached to it.
The C4 generation had one of the longest and most accomplished runs
in Corvette history. When the C5 arrived for 1997 with a completely
new design, the C4 stepped quietly into the collector market. The
Collector Edition was the car Chevrolet specifically built for the
people who understood that, and this one is exactly what they had
in mind.
