This 1996 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, showing approximately 135,641 miles, features the sought-after 5.7-liter LT4 V8 paired exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission, delivering a driving experience that captures the character of Chevrolet's final C4 performance offerings. Finished in Black over a Black interior with an aftermarket Black convertible soft top, this example also features 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, automatic climate control, and a Delco/Bose Gold Series audio system. Additional updates include aftermarket headlight motors, an air conditioning unit, seat covers, and carpeting.
