1996 Chevrolet Corvette Collector Edition

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this 1996 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, a sleek C4 drop-top finished in silver with a black convertible top and grey interior. With its low stance, smooth body lines, and open-air design, this Corvette offers 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 documentation notes the LT1 as a 5.7L 350 cubic inch V8 with sequential fuel injection and a 300 horsepower rating. This combination provides a smooth, enjoyable driving experience with the V8 character these cars are known for.

This Corvette is equipped with power steering and 4-wheel power disc brakes, making it easy to guide and confident to control. Features such as air conditioning, power windows, and power door locks add comfort and convenience. The black convertible top creates a sharp contrast against the silver exterior, whether the top is up or down.

The vehicle was built on April 28, 1995, as a pilot car for Chevrolet Display Car Services and was used as a photo model for the 1996 brochure and promotional material. It is part of the 1996 Corvette Collector Edition production, with only 1,381 Collector Edition convertibles built.

Recent service work includes a new 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 changes, coolant checks, front-end grease service, emergency hood release cables, and air conditioning service. Nitto tires, sized 245/45R17 in the front and 285/40R17 in the rear, were installed in October 2022, along with a spare tire.

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