In 1991 the continued existence of the Corvette was genuinely in
question. Sales had declined enough that Chevrolet General Manager
Jim Perkins was called before the GM board to justify whether the
car should continue at all. The board ultimately agreed it should,
and the 1991 model year arrived with the most significant cosmetic
update the C4 had received since its 1984 launch, including a new
slimmer front fascia, wider body-side moldings painted to match the
body color, and the return of true dual exhaust for the first time
since 1974. The decision to keep the Corvette in production led
directly to the C5, the C6, and everything that followed. This
example is finished in black over black leather and has lived an
exceptionally well-documented life from the day it left the
factory.
Under the hood is the 5.7 liter L98 V8 backed by the six speed
manual, producing 250 horsepower and a top speed of 163 miles per
hour. The C4 generation dominated SCCA Showroom Stock GT racing so
thoroughly from 1985 through 1987 that the sanctioning body
eventually banned it from competition entirely, which tells you
everything about the platform's capability when driven the way it
was designed to be. The adjustable performance handling package
fitted to this car sharpens everything the chassis is already
capable of, and the six speed puts every bit of it directly in your
hands.
Inside, the black leather interior is clean and well equipped with
the Corvette Preferred Equipment package including electronic air
conditioning, the Delco Bose sound system, six-way power driver
seat, and a removable roof panel. The original window sticker
showing $39,569 with $6,564 in factory options comes with the car,
which is the kind of documentation that tells the complete story of
how this Corvette was built and what it cost when new.
This car has had two owners, both retired car collectors, and has
been driven June through August each year. It has been serviced
annually with Mobil 1 and a GM filter, and comes with a full tank
of gas and a folder of service records. It shows 22,500 original
miles. For a C4 Corvette that is 34 years old, that combination of
mileage, ownership history, documentation, and annual care is
essentially impossible to improve upon.
