"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 with a title
verified 63,223 actual miles. Owned by our consignor for 21 years,
this coupe represents a clean, stock example that has been well
maintained.
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
chips, scratches, inclusions, curb rash and clear delamination,
rock spray, flex cracking, and typical chin spoiler scrapes.
Overall, the body and paint are nice.
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 but remaining in nice
shape. Gray leather bucket seats provide cocoon like chairs for
occupants and present in good condition with some typical wear and
on the driver's seat. 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. The center
console is an uncrowded place with the shifter and storage bin over
low pile gray carpet graces the floor, showing cleanly and finding
its way to the back storage area where it shows a touch of use but
is fully intact. Above us, a cloth headliner lines the body colored
targa top.
Drivetrain
Roll the front clip forward and it reveals the familiar 5.7 liter
LT1 V8, rated at 300 horsepower and mated to a ZF 6-speed manual
transmission. Power is routed to the rear axle of course, where it
finds 3.45 gears and a limited slip differential.
Undercarriage
We find driver quality and clean conditions underneath with the
typical metal oxidation caused by the passage of time and use, but
it's a solid and dry environment with only a film of oil on the
pans. Dual exhaust travels through original equipment mufflers
which lead to rectangular exhaust tips on each side of the valance.
Power disc brakes are supplied and 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
"Little red Corvette, baby you're much too fast". Thanks, Prince.
But you missed comfortable, capable, and most of all, fun! This
example operates as expected leaving no mysteries unsolved. Other
than the reverse lights, all functions work just as they should and
we roll this maroon gem back to the mall. 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! This is a great
example to begin your hobby car journey!
