1996 Chevrolet Corvette Base Coupe 2-Door Description

The thought of the high performance LT4 motor makes Corvette people very happy. After all, it was available for only one year. So when you can find it in a 1996 Chevrolet Corvette with Collector Edition package, and it's all for a very affordable price, then this is the 'Vette you've been dreaming about.Chevrolet gave the C4 Corvette a grand sendoff in '96 with a limited edition model that will forever be a standout. The exclusive Sebring Silver paint and silver Grand Sport alloy wheels have an instant attraction even before you see the Collector Edition badging. This bold presence is easily seen today, because the rare coupe has been treated with respect from day one. With only 49,499 original miles, it has averaged less than 2,500 miles annually, and we can tell it had a prime spot in the garage, so you know there is still a near showroom quality shine on the precious metal paint. Great care also means that you get to enjoy the wedge shaped styling that made C4s look like they are aggressively in motion even at a standstill. That's why this is a car you can be proud to park everywhere, from car show, to the office party.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 automatic climate control, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, power seats, 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.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. The 330 hp engine boasted a number of improvements, and its willingness to rev makes it a blast to drive. With such a desirable upgrade, we are glad to see this numbers-matching powerplant looking so factory-fresh under the hood. The original appearance and good maintenance also means it starts easily, idles smoothly, and runs like it should. While this coupe is beginning to sound like a car to park for an investment, it would be a shame not to have some fun on the backroads with the ZF six-speed manual transmission (a must for the hotter-engine cars.) 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 Michelin Pilot tires.Complete with owner's manual, you're looking at an exceptional deal on a rare, lower mileage, and desirable 'Vette. That's why you know you have to act quickly. After all, the only thing that moves faster than this LT4 is how fast it will leave our showroom. Call today!!
