Chevy gave the C4 Corvette a grand send off by creating an upgraded small block engine known as the LT4. It offered a few more horsepower and it loved to revand#44; and if you were smart like the guy who originally ordered this Torch Red 1996 Chevrolet Corvette coupeand#44; you got it in a standard Vette. Now this coupe is in the league of the ultra desirable Grand Sport and Collector Edition models. And this one is at an irresistible price. You cant argue that the C4 wasnt a great-looking carand#44; and even today they command respect on the street...and now youre looking at the ultimate sleeper. This final-year fourth-generation Corvette has the most powerful motor available that was typically reserved for special carsand#44; as well as for a few people who knew how to manipulate the ordering system. From the outside this one shares the legendary wedge styling that made all C4s look like they are aggressively in motion even at a standstill. This was highlighted even further in the last few years with the iconic sawblade wheels. In factand#44; those optional alloys also offer the only bit of chrome on the car...everything else is the iconic red Corvette. The tan leather looks awesome inside the C4. The stylish and grippy bucket seats are all day comfortable. The revised C4 digital speedometer has matured into an interesting readout that looks goodand#44; and works flawlessly. A premium corvette like this means a long list of featuresand#44; including power windowsand#44; power locksand#44; power mirrorsand#44; power seatand#44; electric rear defoggerand#44; control cruiseand#44; dual airbagsand#44; ABSand#44; a powerful AM/FM/cassette/CD stereo systemand#44; and air conditioning. Best of alland#44; 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. The 340 hp LT4 engine boasted a number of improvementsand#44; and its willingness to rev makes it a blast to drive. Its easy to spot with its red intake manifoldand#44; and like its brother the LT1and#44; modifications are plentiful. Fortunatelyand#44; this one remains completely stock with its original motor. That also means it starts easilyand#44; idles smoothlyand#44; and runs like it should. While this coupe is beginning to sound like a potential car to park for an investmentand#44; it would be a shame not to have fun on the backroads with the ZF six-speed manual transmission (this was actually the key to getting the LT4 installed in a more subtle-looking standard Vette.) The suspension on the late C4s found the perfect balance of road carving sports car and highway-mile cruiser. Its all part of a package that includes power steeringand#44; four-wheel disc brakesand#44; and grippy Goodyear Eagle tires. With the ZR-1 goneand#44; the LT4 was the top motor to send off the C4 Corvette in its final year. Its the most desirable 1996 motor todayand#44; and finding a standard Corvette with the LT4 is arguably a rarer find than a Grand Sport. This is a valuable future classic available at a drivers car price. You better hurry and snap this one up as we dont see it staying in our showroom for long. Call today!!! |
