The fourth generation Corvette was a big deal for Chevrolet's most beloved sports car, it was much more purposely designed, sported a completely new chassis, and the wickedly quick ZR-1 edition recorded the highest ever 24-hour-500 mile land speed in 1990. Apart from good looks and even better performance, the C4 was a significant milestone. This very special 1993 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe has just closed a chapter of its adventures with a little over 89,000 miles on the road and awaits a new owner to write the next.

Exterior and Interior

As the new Chief Corvette designer, Dave McLellan understood the significance of the C4, to be unique, the new Corvette had to look the part certainly. Styling was bold yet revolutionary; every panel contributed to the Vette's ability to slice through the air as a hot knife does through butter. Molded plastics replaced fiberglass. Rest assured, the C4 was highly designed and engineered for its era. As the pictures suggest, one would find it hard to imagine that this car was manufactured nearly 30 years ago, so credit must be given to its current owner. Due to its new and sleek design, the interior provided a unique experience. Drivers would find themselves 'falling in' to the cockpit, where they would be embraced by an intimidating dash setting that would only be familiar to a very few who have operated a fighter jet. The C4, however, had much more to offer once inside. For the first time, drivers would get feedback via an electronic dashboard sporting a digital liquid crystal display instrument cluster.

Engine

Tasteful gimmicks aside, the 1993 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe also received a bump in power. The 5.7L V8 now produced 300hp from the standard 245hp, and torque was at 340 lb-ft. This allowed the Vette to reach 60mph from a standstill in just 5.6-ish seconds before topping out at 170mph via an automatic transmission. The current owner reports that this example has had a recent maintenance and tune-up to prep it for sale.
