1996 Chevrolet Corvette Collector Edition

Description

The 1996 Chevrolet Corvette was the grand send off for the C4, and so GM recognized it with an optional more powerful small block known as the LT4. But more than just the upgraded motor, this is a rare Collector Edition and it even has a six-speed. Oh yeah, this is one cool 'Vette at the ultimate gone tomorrow price.

Sebring Silver is the exclusive color that's grabbing all of your attention. It was only available on the Collector Edition, and it was the first time the precious metal hue was offered on a Corvette in over a decade. That's why it's so important to have it complete and shining like it is on this coupe. But more than just the silver paint, the limited edition carries Grand Sport alloys and exclusive Collector Edition badging. The overall impression is a modern monochromatic tone that allows bold pieces to really standout like the red brake calipers.

The light gray leather looks awesome against the exterior paint. It gives this car a full precious metal feeling. The stylish and grippy bucket seats are all day comfortable, and they even have Collector Edition embroidered in the headrests. Plus, this is one of the best colors to coordinate with the black interior elements like the leather-wrapped steering wheel, center console, and dashboard. The revised C4 digital speedometer has matured into an interesting readout that looks good and works flawlessly. A limited edition like this also means a long list of features, including power windows, power locks, power mirrors, power driver seat, electric rear defogger, control cruise, dual airbags, and a powerful Bose AM/FM/cassette/CD stereo system. Best of all, the world can see you smiling behind the wheel whenever you want to take the targa roof off and store it behind the glass hatch. And when the roof is out, the automatic climate control will make sure you're always staying cool while looking cool.

Not all Collector Edition cars were created equal. The standard motor was the LT1, but this one got the optional 350 cubic-inch LT4 V8. With such a desirable upgrade, we are glad to see it looking so factory-fresh under the hood. But this one also hides a nice secret. A Hypertech Power Tuner means you are pumping out more than the already impressive 330 hp factory rating. And with more power on tap, you'll love the control of the six-speed manual transmission even better. The suspension on the late C4s found the perfect balance of road carving sports car and highway-mile cruiser. It was all part of a package that includes power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and now also features Nitto Extreme ZR performance tires.

Complete with owner's manual, it's going to be a long time before you can find a true collector car that's also this affordable. So you better hurry because you're not the only one who sees the value here. Call now!!!
