1996 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

1996 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

Don't purchase a '96 Corvette and squirrel it away in a warehouse hoping it will make you wealthy.  If you want to collect something that really might make a fortune someday, try Pokemon Cards, Cabbage Patch Dolls, hood ornaments, or a limited run of Kincaid painted dinner plates.  This car was made to be driven. It would be a shame to own it and have it any other way. 

A black Corvette coupe with an LT4 330hp engine.  Nice interior, and plenty of power ready for you to let the good times roll.  Our consignor states the car has been well maintained, garage kept, and driven on short trips regularly. 

Exterior
Clean and mean black envelopes this Corvette.  Matching polyurethane crash bumpers are on front and rear.  Hidden headlights and a sculpted hood create a seamless aero look.  The rear of the car sports the iconic  sunken in round taillights, which is topped by a greenhouse glass rear pop up storage area.  A black painted roof panel is seen however is easily removable.  Tinted glass is also seen all around.  Shiny turbine style wheels are seen on all 4 corners in 17-inch format with 255/45's up front and wide wide 285/40ZR17's in the back.

Interior
Black leather dances with itself creating a nice high back with molded in headrest buckets.  Just a hint of some tuck and roll for the upper inserts, and the seats are nicely aged smooth leather showing some creasing but no cracking.  The door panels have black central panels and are sleekly designed to have all the working seamlessly inserted into them.  On the dash a cascade of gauges and a left mounted tachometer create a semi circle which has a centrally located orange LCD readout for the speedometer, fuel level, and mileage.  Digital readouts are also seen within a centrally mounted larger screen with plenty of info and warning lights for your monitoring.  An AM/FM/Dolby cassette player is also flush mounted and sports multiple present push buttons.  The central console in black houses the shift lever and seat controls along with large storage glove box is between the seats, and this backs up to a big storage area under the greenhouse glass in the rear of the car which is fully carpeted in black carpet that remains very clean, as does the carpeting beneath the seats.

Drivetrain
350ci of V8 power making 330 horses via  Multiport fuel injection for the LT4 small block engine.  What make the LT4 unique from a run of the mill LT1 is a different camshaft, 1.6 ratio rocker arms, and LT4 specific cylinder heads.  This rarely seen mill is backed by a 6-speed manual ZF transmission and can easily break their tires loose in the first two gears.  A 3.45 Positration rear axle is installed from the factory.

Undercarriage
All rust free and plenty of ground effect panels we note the car rides and handles with front independent SLA forged aluminum upper and lower control arms and steering knuckle and a transverse mono leaf spring and steel stabilizer offset.  With the rear made up of an independent 5 link tow and camber adjustable suspension with forged aluminum control links and knuckle, transverse monoleaf spring, steel tie rods and stabilizer, tubular U-jointed aluminum driveshafts.  Power disc braking is in all 4 corners.

Drive-Ability
This Corvette started easily, and effortlessly went through its paces on the test track.  Good acceleration, nice rail like cornering, and a smooth cruising at speed.  All functions were working just fab, and the seat controls enable any driver to get it just right baby bear.

An all preserved example with an LT4 edition in black on black  Runs great and right now these Vettes are a great deal!  Imagine yourself in a classic Corvette, snaking along a winding road, listening to the growl of the engine, and running through the gears as you tell yourself life is truly good!  Thanks Duntov.
