Vehicle Description
You can get a heck of a lot of car for not a lot of money with a C4
Corvette. This 1994 Chevrolet Corvette coupe proves it, with a
great combination of performance, looks, and price. These really
are nice cars to drive and there's enough performance in this one
to make a lot of mischief if you're so inclined.
Polo White is the most traditional of Corvette colors and even on
the C4 it looks fantastic. This particular ragtop shows just 42,890
original miles, so it's obviously been a fair weather toy all its
life. It has been repainted once, and the result is a car that
looks as good today as it did in 1994. The 1994 Corvettes got a few
final tweaks before the end of the line in 1996, including the
"gills" just behind the front wheels that are a more simplified
version of earlier designs, and a smoother nose with flush-fitting
lights. Fit and finish are actually quite good thanks to the
dedicated factory full of 'Vette enthusiasts down in Bowling Green,
and it has never been damaged in a major accident, so no worries
there. And despite the vast aftermarket of bolt-on goodies for the
exterior of the C4, this one remains totally stock save for the red
hash marks on the front fender, which are a familiar Corvette
styling cue.
The Torch Red leather interior is an elegant alternative to the
usual black or tan, and the high-impact color makes this Corvette
really stand out. It's quite nice thanks to being gutted for the
installation of additional sound-deadening materials, new red ACC
carpets and fresh Al Knoch red leather seat covers with fresh foam
underneath. Digital and analog instruments behind a big
leather-wrapped wheel are both functional and pretty slick to look
at, and as with all Corvettes, it's loaded. There's a trip
computer, automatic climate control, power windows and locks, power
driver's seat, and cruise control, making it a fantastic road trip
warrior and a pleasure to drive every day. The sound system has
been upgraded with a custom Alpine AM/FM/CD head unit that almost
looks like it was born here. Everything works as it should thanks
to the Corvette's fairly impressive reputation for reliability and
even the hatch area is neatly detailed with a heavy-duty rubber mat
to keep it looking its best. This is also a two top car, with a
clear top and a color-matched solid top.
The LT1 350 cubic inch V8 is a mainstay of performance hardware,
even today, and it delivers a nice, round 300 horsepower. Now
before you start thinking that's not enough, just come drive this
car. From a stop, it'll shred the fat Firestone radials and there
aren't many cars that can beat an automatic-equipped C4 on the
roll; just stomp and steer! Again, despite the
modification-friendly nature of the LT1, this one was upgraded with
an eye towards reliability rather than all-out power, and those
mods include a new MSD Optispark distributor, new Bosch water pump,
and a fresh Bailey Engineering LTCC coil-on-plug ignition. There's
also a giant DeWitts aluminum radiator with custom fan controller
that keeps it running ice cold. It starts easily and if history is
any indicator, should run well for years to come. The Corsa
stainless dual exhaust system has a nice V8 burble to it and the
suspension has been upgraded with Z51 shocks and perimeter
stiffening bars reinforce the tub. Massive brakes are a Corvette
trademark and they're quite effective here, and they live behind
chrome ZR1-spec wheels wearing 255/45/17 front and 285/40/17 rear
Firestone performance radials.
There's much more to this Corvette than we can list here. If you
want one of the biggest performance bargains we've ever offered,
this is it. Call today!
