1996 Chevrolet Corvette

1996 Chevrolet Corvette Collectors Edition Coupe

Sebring Silver to a Corvette aficionado, is a color that will be forever linked with such classics as the first Sting Ray racer of 1959 and the legendary 1963 split-window coupe. Now Sebring Silver is back, adding a special brilliance to this 1996 Corvette Collector Edition. A coupe version that sports details that include distinctive chrome emblems outside, and sport seats with \"Collector Edition\" embroidery inside. These leather seating surfaces are offered in gray on this car. For the final season for the fourth-generation Corvette, Sebring Silver rings in the celebration. A title verified 70,016 miles and documented maintenance history for this 1 of 5,412 built with the Z15 Collectors Edition RPO, an LT-1 engine, and a 4-speed automatic transmission. All this wrapped up with a clean CarFax and tinted targa top, all waiting for you in our Hallowed Halls.

Exterior
All clean, sparkling and ready to celebrate, Sebring Silver drapes this last year Gen 4 car. The Sebring Silver paint is in good condition, and the badging shows correctly. Spears return to the front air intake and are reminiscent of earlier Corvettes from the 1950\'s, but in a more contemporary style. With its rubberized crash bumpers, this car is virtually devoid of any chrome, and just badging shines brightly against the silver. A removable targa roof panel in smoked transparent \"glass\" comes with this car and can be removed easily depending on your mood. The large greenhouse rear glass leads down to the easily recognized dual dual ovoid tail lights and polished rectangular exhaust tips below. Satin finished 17-inch 5 spoke wheels adorn all 4 corners and are wrapped in correct size staggered width Continental blackwall radials from the 28th week of 2022 and 43rd week of 2021 respectively with an alignment performed in November of 2022.

Interior
Gray stitched leather dominates the snazzy interior that features a semicircular instrument panel that is a digital/analog combination and shows in an orange background with black LCD digits and lines. Noted is the actual mileage of 70,016 miles. Controls for power seat adjustments and the automatic shifter are within the console. Black and gray makes up the matching door panels, and within the armrest are power windows, and power locks. Other conveniences are an AM/FM/Cassette/CD stereo, climate controls, and a large center screen digital display which is essentially a cluster of warning, (idiot), lights. Nicely preserved gray leather embroidered buckets with just the right amount of supple wear round out the sporty passenger compartment.

Drivetrain
A 5.7 liter V8 300hp LT-1 engine which is electronically fuel injected, is connected to a 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission all of which sends power back to a 2.59 geared rear axle. Our consignor notes that the engine was treated to a fuel injection service, a throttle body cleaning and service, and all fluids for the drivetrain were changed within the last 1,000 miles. All stock, just the way we like it.

Undercarriage
Very clean, rust free environment, showing no signs of any stresses or nagging problems. This car was created as one of the best handling and riding C4 Corvette built. Independent suspension with transverse mounted mono leaf springs give the ride while 4-wheel disc brakes round out the undercarriage. Our consignor notes that the front and rear brakes were recently replaced as well as the rotors.

Drive-Ability
This Corvette started easily, and effortlessly went through its paces on the test track. Good acceleration, nice rail like cornering, and a smooth cruising at speed. All functions were working just fab, and the seat controls enabled any driver to get it just right baby bear.

The 1996 Collectors Edition has something special and out of the ordinary offerings of 1996. With its silver exterior, special badging, powerful engine, and embroidered seating, it harkens back to another era when the car was in its infancy, but it\'s definitely not your grandfather\'s Corvette anymore!
