1996 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this 1996 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, a sleek C4 drop-top finished in a silver exterior with a black convertible top and grey interior. With its low stance, smooth body lines, and open-air design, this Corvette brings a clean and recognizable look from the final year of the C4 generation.

Under the hood is a 5.7L LT1 V8 engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The provided documentation notes the LT1 as a 5.7L 350 cubic inch V8 with sequential fuel injection and a 300 horsepower rating. This combination gives the Corvette a smooth, enjoyable driving feel with the V8 character these cars are known for.

This Corvette is equipped with power steering and 4-wheel power disc brakes, making it enjoyable to guide and confident to bring under control. Features like air conditioning, power windows, and power door locks add comfort and convenience, while the black convertible top gives the silver exterior a sharp contrast whether the top is up or down.

The documentation provided with the vehicle notes that it was built on 4/28/1995 as a pilot car for Chevrolet Display Car Services and was used as a photo model for 1996 brochure and promotional material. It also references the vehicle as part of the 1996 Corvette Collector Edition production, with 1,381 Collector Edition convertibles built.

Service notes included with the car show several items addressed over recent years, including a battery, rebuilt gears in both headlight motors, replacement sun visors, Corvette floor boots, a driver side window regulator, treated rubber seals, routine oil and filter service, coolant checks, front-end grease service, emergency hood release cables, and air conditioning service. The records also note Nitto tires installed in October 2022, sized 245/45R17 in the front and 285/40R17 in the rear, along with a spare tire.

With its LT1 V8, automatic transmission, black convertible top, power amenities, 4-wheel power disc brakes, service documentation, and unique supporting history, this 1996 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a fun and well-documented example of C4 Corvette style.
