22K-MILE 1996 CHEVROLET CORVETTE COLLECTOR EDITION CONVERTIBLE

OVERVIEW

This garage-kept 1996 Chevrolet Corvette Collector Edition convertible sends power from an LT4 5.7-liter V8 through a six-speed manual transmission to the rear 18-inch Corvette Y2K wheels. Features include a cat-back exhaust system, an aftermarket wind restrictor, air conditioning, a Delco AM/FM/CD audio system, power seats, and adjustable Ride Control. Finished in Sebring Silver Metallic and equipped with a Black fabric convertible top over a Light Gray leather interior, this final-year C4 Corvette comes with a satin car cover, receipts, the original owner’s manual and a copy, a clean CARFAX report, and an Ontario, Canada vehicle permit in the seller's name.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The seller states the Sebring Silver Metallic paint has received minor touch-ups to repair stone chips and a ceramic coating. Exterior features include LED headlights and fog lights from Headlight Experts, commemorative badges on the sides of the hood, a manual Black fabric convertible top with a heated glass rear window, an illuminated aftermarket wind restrictor with a remote, and dual rectangular exhaust outlets.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

This Collector Edition Corvette sits on new 17-inch front and 18-inch rear chrome Corvette Y2K wheels wrapped in 255/45/17 front and 285/40/18 rear Nitto tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The interior features two-tone door panels, a black leather-wrapped steering wheel, a black dashboard and center console, a Delco AM/FM/CD audio system, a leather-wrapped shift knob, and power-adjustable Light Gray leather bucket seats with matching carpeting. In addition, it comes equipped with air conditioning, keyless entry, a tilt steering column, cruise control, three-mode Ride Control, and power windows and locks.

INTERIOR - GAUGES

Behind the steering wheel are an analog 8K-rpm tachometer, a digital fuel gauge, and a digital speedometer. The analog readouts for the oil pressure, oil temperature, battery voltage, and coolant temperature are located to the right of the speedometer. The digital odometer shows 22,733 miles, which is in line with the most recent mileage figure of 21,782 miles logged on the CARFAX report in December 2021.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

Under the clamshell hood sits the reportedly original LT4 5.7-liter V8. A six-speed manual transmission sends the engine’s output to the rear wheels via a limited-slip differential with 3.45:1 gearing. The battery has been replaced with an Interstate Mega-Tron II unit. During a service and recharge last fall, a leak in the air conditioning system's test port was repaired.

UNDERCARRIAGE

Braking is performed by power anti-lock discs. The mufflers have been deleted and a chambered cat-back exhaust system has been installed.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The CARFAX report starts in October 1995 and shows an accident-free vehicle history with ownership in Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan; the car was imported to Ontario, Canada in June 2021. A satin car cover, receipts, the original owner’s manual, and a copy of it will be included with the purchase of the car.
