Vehicle Description

Exterior
A black coupe, all fiberglass, and all parts are there. Neoprene bumpers, hidden headlights and a black wrap around trimming. Shark gills for the front quarters, a black removable smoked glass top and rear greenhouse glass. Black window surrounds, factory tinted glass, and black door handles. In back, the round dual tail lights are iconic feature of the C4 Corvette. Turbine style wheels are wrapped in near-new condition rubber all around. The condition overall is very good.

Interior
Grey leather buckets, showing slight areas of wear near seams, look overall well preserved. Square and rectangle design abound all in black. The dash is original and has backlit digital gauges behind the plastic panels that are all operational. The original steering wheel fronts the dash and in the center is a lineup on top of vents, then down to a litany of toggles which control the display of warning lights in a small frosted glass panel in the center. The climate controls sliders, and down to the console which has the shift lever, window toggles and mirror adjustment toggles along with some storage. In back under the greenhouse glass is a grey carpeted storage area.

Drivetrain
A 5.7 Liter V8 with the Crossfire EFI resides under the clamshell hood. A 700R4 4-speed automatic w/overdrive sits in an unrestored and original engine bay.

Undercarriage
Optional Z51 Performance Handling Package included with strong frame construction and plenty of cast aluminum parts. Dual exhaust and upgraded suspension and four-wheel power disc brakes stop the car.

Drive-Ability
A quick starter and runs and handles well with confident braking. The AC and cruise control are in-operable.
