1996 Chevrolet Corvette Collectors 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. The sleek finish really helps to highlight the straightness of the body panels where there has been careful perseveration so that details like the headlights and doors close to fit flush. But more than just the silver paint, the limited edition carries Grand Sport style alloys and exclusive Collector Edition badging. The overall impression is a modern monochromatic tone that allows bold pieces to stand out like the red brake calipers.

The black leather looks awesome against the exterior paint. The odometer is believed to represent the full actual mileage, and that would mean averaging under 2,800 miles annually. So the overall impression of the interior is good care and far less use than a daily driver. The stylish and grippy bucket seats are all-day comfortable, and they even have Collector Edition embroidered in the headrests using a bold red. The seat joins the leather-wrapped steering wheel, stick shift, and full gauge package to get you ready for a true sports car experience. A limited-edition like this also means a long list of features, including power windows, power locks, power mirrors, power seats, electric rear defogger, a tilt steering column, 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 offering ten percent more horsepower. With such a desirable upgrade, we're glad to see it looking quite correct with signs of good maintenance and just the right hints of upgrades. And with more power on tap, you'll love the control of the six-speed manual transmission. 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 wide performance tires.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and maintenance records. 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 today!!!
