Description

When it debuted in 1984, the fourth-generation Corvette was nothing short of revolutionary. From 1984 to 1996, spanning 12 years, many of these Corvettes were made in different trims and specs. But you'll be hard-pressed to find an example quite like the 1990 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible we have for you today. With just 75,605 actual miles on its odometer, and sporting its (believed) original Dark Red Metallic paint, along with its factory-issued accessory hard top, this two-owner car is one of a kind.

Inside, we find an original-looking black leather interior. Featuring a pair of plush and supportive power bucket seats separated by a full-length black center console, complete with dual cupholders and a storage compartment armrest. A padded four-spoke wheel sits in front of the signature C4 gauge cluster, centered around a digital speedometer, with an analog 6,000-rpm tachometer and four auxiliary gauges flanking it on either side. The orange backlit digital theme continues with the HVAC controls and the AM/FM/CD/Cassette head unit, both of which feature easy-to-use push buttons. Power locks, windows, and mirrors, combined with air conditioning and cruise control, offer a range of modern amenities for the time period.

Under its front-hinged hood, we find a 5.7-liter L98 V-8 engine. With its stout iron block and lightweight cylinder heads, the L98 uses Tuned Port Injection in conjunction with an in-tank fuel pump to help this Corvette generate 245 horsepower and 345 pound-feet of torque when it rolled off the assembly line. Power is routed through a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission before heading out to the rear, where it transfers those ponies to the pavement via 17-inch sawblade-style factory wheels shod in wide 275/40R-17 tires.

This 1990 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible rides on an independent front suspension with a five-link setup at the rear. ABS-assisted four-wheel vented disc brakes sit at all four corners, ready to scrub off speed at a moment's notice. If you missed your chance to buy a gorgeous Dark Red Metallic C4, complete with a factory-issued hardtop like this the first time around, then this low-mileage droptop, with its original window sticker, is your second chance to experience one of the few cars whose design continues to turn heads more than thirty years later.
