8,900-MILE 1996 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE

OVERVIEW

This one-owner 1996 Chevrolet Corvette convertible has been driven only 8,949 miles since new and is powered by an unmodified LT1 5.7-liter V8 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. It was originally delivered to Tom Jumper Chevrolet in Sandy Springs, Georgia, and was garage-kept by its original owner until recently changing hands. Finished in Arctic White and equipped with a white cloth retractable top over a Light Beige leather interior, this C4 Corvette is now offered by the selling dealer with an owner’s manual, a window sticker, a clean CARFAX report, and a clear title.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The Arctic White exterior features pop-up headlamps, halogen fog lamps, vented front fenders, an antenna, a glass rear window with a defogger, a dual exhaust system, and quad taillights.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

Machined aluminum 17-inch directional wheels are wrapped in the car’s original 255/45 front and 285/40 rear tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

According to the selling dealer, this C4 Corvette is showroom-new inside and out, smells new inside, and runs and drives like a new car. The two-seat cockpit is outfitted with Light Beige leather power-adjustable bucket seats, matched to the door panels, lower dash, and carpeting. Options include the Preferred Equipment Group #1's air conditioning and six-way power-adjustable driver seat, cruise control, power windows with driver-side auto-down, power steering, power door locks, power mirrors, automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a Delco/Bose AM/FM/CD radio with a digital clock.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

Instrumentation includes a digital speedometer, a 6,000-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for the oil pressure, oil temperature, coolant temperature, voltage, and fuel level. The digital odometer reads 8,949 miles, which falls in line with the most recent recorded figure of 6,413 miles logged in the CARFAX report in 2002.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The LT1 5.7-liter V8 was rated at 300 horsepower and 335 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is fed to the rear wheels via a console-shifted four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential.

UNDERCARRIAGE

Handling is assisted by a traction control system. The suspension uses a five-link rear end along with an independent front end. Stopping power comes from power-assisted anti-lock disc brakes at all four corners.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

The accident-free CARFAX report classifies this as a one-owner Corvette and shows an initial entry in 1995 and Mississippi registration through late 2022. The sale includes an owner’s manual and a window sticker showing an original retail price of $48,334.
