Selling my 1996 Corvette convertible, with the awesome LT4 V8 and 6-speed manual transmission. The car is an absolute blast to drive. Just nothing like shifting through the gears with a great manual transmission and a powerful V8.
Since you are looking at the ad, I am sure you know what a special engine the LT4 is, and that the '96, being the last year of the C4 body style, was the only year the engine was available in the C4, and then only with a manual transmission. This car is fairly rare, and has great collector car potential.
The car runs very well, clutch/engine/transmission smooth, the A/C blows ice cold, cruise works, etc. I took the car on a 2000 mile trip last Spring, and besides being a pleasure to drive on the Interstates, it averaged 26mpg. The mpg does quickly drop into the teens when you get on it around town however.
Tires are practically new, fluids and filters have been changed (fuel filter is a little tricky to change), and the top is in good condition (though I almost never drive with it up). Car has about 89k miles.
There is a website where you can download all the options, by VIN, for Corvettes, and it showed this:

Rarity...
There are 1 1996 CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE vehicles (0.023%) matching your exact options list. There are 1 (0.023%) with at least as many options.
That rarity thing above, though probably true, does not really mean that much since it is talking about the total combination of options. The options that will make this a great collector car are the LT4 and convertible on the last year of the C4 body style.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like pictures of something specific. Vehicle is purchased as is where is, and is not for sale on Craigslist (last time I listed a vehicle someone copied the listing for a scam on Craigslist).
Thanks. |

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
