1996 Chevrolet Corvette

Description

This 1996 Chevrolet Corvette gives you LT1 V8 power, an awesomely distinct color, and all the best features - from a loaded A/C interior to two targa tops. So when you can find a low mileage car that's so clean and complete, and the price is this affordable, you know you're looking at a fleeting opportunity.

This Corvette is passing the magic quarter-century threshold that takes it into a proper classic status where it's even eligible for classic car benefits in many states. And this is exactly the kind of car you want in the new class of true classics. The Polo Green paint looks like the original application, and while this coupe has been driven over the last 25 years, averaging around 1,300 miles annually is a telltale sign of less use and better care. That's why the panels fit flush, the glass is clear, and the special buzzsaw factory alloys are in good shape. It's all quite stock except for the little things, like the taillight louvers and a good-looking tint on the windows. So the result is a true classic that has been treated with respect for a quarter-century.

This car comes with the desirable option of the color-matched targa top of the tinted glass top. But really, we know your favorite option will be no top at all. The black interior has the same level of preservation as the exterior, and the deep color looks good against the dark green exterior. So it's great to show off the full package at once. What also makes this so desirable is because it's also a loaded setup. You and your passenger get supportive bucket seats that are power-adjustable in just about every direction. The tilt/telescopic steering column and low spokes on the wheel were engineered to give you a full view of the comprehensive readout package. In fact, the great thing about a classic from the 1990s is that you get every modern convenience you could want in this premium 'Vette. It includes automatic A/C climate control, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, ABS, and dual airbags. Plus, the factory AM/FM/cassette/CD stereo came from Bose, so you know it sounds fantastic even when with the roof out at highway speeds.

This is the final year for the C4. That's not only good for collecting, but also it means you know you're getting the superb LT1 V8 under the hood. This is the small block you want if you love a car that fires up with authority, is happy to cruise around all day without a fuss, and unleashes its full 300 horsepower performance the moment the road opens up... yeah, we love that, too! These C4s have earned their reputation for being one of the best performance machines around through the right packaging that pairs the gutsy fuel-injected motor with the sport-tuned fully independent suspension and four-wheel power disc brakes. On those few days that you do go to work, this Corvette can still be your friend with the four-speed automatic transmission w/ overdrive, power steering, and cruise control.

Complete with owner's manual, this C4 has bold paint, turn-key appeal, and a gone-tomorrow price. It's everything you want, and it's ready right now.
