Chevrolet Corvette C4 5.7 L V8 climate cruise control (1992)

Vehicle description

Anyone who picked up the Corvette as a European in the 1980s was usually not a harmless insurance agent. Although the image of what is probably the most American of all sports cars was tarnished by the improper use of its predecessors as a half-world company vehicle, the Corvette C4 produced from 1983 set new standards in the sports car sector in terms of handling characteristics and performance. Visually, the 4th generation of the Corvette is slimmer and flatter than its predecessor, technically a completely newly developed chassis and the V8 engine offered in various performance levels provided joy. Finally, the Corvette C4 (also offered as a convertible) was built until 1996.

The Chevrolet offered in this auction is a 4th generation Corvette from 1992. This C4 with the FIN 1G1YY23PON5111439 has a total of 3 previous owners, an exact history can unfortunately no longer be presented according to seller information on this sports car. However, it is clear that the Corvette C4 was delivered for the first time by a dealer in Mainz-Kastel. In addition to 1 vehicle key, the Corvette already has an H-approval. The TÜV will run until June 2024, and the so-called matching numbers are assumed.

In silver metallic, the body consisting of glass fiber reinforced plastic is kept, which, according to the seller, is completely undamaged except for a crack in the rear apron. Just like its predecessor (C3), the C4 also has a removable Targa roof, which in the case of this Corvette offered here can be removed without any problems and can also be used again perfectly. External modifications deviating from the original condition can not be found on this C4, the seller states that the Corvette has already been completely repainted. The current owner did not have an accident in the current possession.

Falken tires in the dimension of 275/40 are mounted on original 17-inch Corvette rims. The seller attests to the good condition of the tires as well as the rims and the brake system, in the area of the chassis this Corvette C4 apparently has no modifications.

Black color can be seen from the entire interior of the American sports car: Although some patina can be removed from the full leather seats, cracks or abrasion marks in the leather cannot be detected. The 4-spoke leather steering wheel is characterized by easy use, in the area of the door panels, the dashboard or the footwell carpet, no complaints can be made except for normal signs of use and wear. In addition to power steering and central locking, there are also electric windows, air conditioning, ABS, cruise control and an accessory radio on board the Corvette. Under the storage compartment in the middle of the dashboard hides a retrofitted radio and in the trunk of the C4 a subwoofer is recognizable.

The sporty-looking instrument cluster has a mileage of 122,420 kilometres on the display. According to the seller, all instruments in the interior of the Corvette work perfectly. The last test report and a board folder with some documents such as the operating instructions are available.

The LT1 called V8 engine of this Corvette has 5.7-liter displacement and makes 306 hp. This power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic. In February 2022, the last service work took place, among the most recent repairs are the renewal of the Optispark, the ignition cables and the spark plugs. In addition, the battery, the master brake cylinder and the windscreen wipers were new. As upcoming repair work, the current holder indicates the climate filling.

The seller describes the condition of the underbody of this Corvette C4 as well preserved. The Corvette is the epitome of an American sports car: Corvette-typical features such as the GRP body and V8 front engine also offered the 4th generation, which came up with a modern chassis and the powerful engines. This Corvette C4 to be auctioned leaves you wishing whether you prefer to cruise around closed or with the Targa roof open. A problem-free technology, the clean overall condition and the low mileage speak for this Silver Metallic Corvette C4.

The subfloor is in good condition.

Various documents are of course available with this Corvette C4.
