Chevrolet's Corvette can be considered the definitive American sports car, as it kickstarted a revolution when the nameplate debuted in 1953. While each generation of the Corvette brought new technological and performance improvements, the bar was consistently raised. That's why this 1987 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is likely to be highly desirable for some, and with 74,067 miles on the clock, a very lightly run example for its age. If you've been lusting after a white drop-top 'Vette, here's your chance to grab one.

Exterior and Interior

Draped in a clean white paint job, this 1987 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible showcases the crisp Eighties design cues that Jerry Palmer brought to the fourth generation. You'll also appreciate the matching white convertible top that was reportedly installed in 2018 as a new item. Riding on iconic turbine-style alloy wheels, it still looks futuristic, aided by those desirable pop-up headlamps at the front. You'll definitely turn heads as you cruise by in this 'Vette. A cloth car cover is reportedly included in the sale to keep this beauty safe when parked, aided by a ceramic coating also said to have been applied by the current owner. Of course, as you drive, you'll be enjoying the red two-seat interior that this 1987 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible comes with. As Chevrolet's halo model, Corvettes receive the highest specifications of luxury and creature comforts. This car includes power-adjustable seats, a trick digital instrument cluster that uses seven-segment LED displays, automatic climate control, a radio with cassette player, power windows, and power mirrors.

Engine

Lurking beneath the long and low hood of this 1987 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a proper V8, a 350ci L98 unit with tuned port injection, to be precise. The current owner reports that the engine received new spark plugs six years ago. Power output when new was said to be 240hp, with 345lb-ft of twist. It's all sent to the rear wheels via a sturdy 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission. Large ventilated disc brakes on all wheels ensure ample stopping power, while power steering makes handling easier. The fourth generation was also the first Corvette to feature a unibody construction for improved ride and handling.
