An affordable low mileage 1993 Chevrolet Corvette is already enticing. But when it's a 40th Anniversary special edition that has been babied since day one, well then, you know it might not be here long enough for you to read this whole description.There's only one way to get Ruby Red Metallic paint from the factory on a Corvette, and it's on a 40th Anniversary C4 like this one. There were only 6,749 special edition cars produced...that's it. More than just a 40th Anniversary model, when you find a low mileage example like this one, it should also be no surprise that the C4's hallmark pointed front chin doesn't appear to have been scuffed on steep driveways or blasted by gravel. It is a similar situation out back where the convex rear bumper cap appears unmarred by signs of parking lot combat. That's why we love this car. Usually when you buy into a car community at a value price, you'll start at the bottom rung. But this Corvette is a forever standout model with 40th Anniversary badging on the fenders and saw blade alloy wheels. It's a stellar presentation you can be proud to own, and it's all for the price of an economy hatchback.As the name suggests, the ruby red leather interior is just as special as the exterior color. And you can share this coordinating color combo with the world just by taking out the tinted glass targa roof. The loaded interior means you and your passenger get supportive bucket seats that are power adjustable in just about every direction, and yes, the 40th anniversary stitching in the headrests still looks pristine. From behind the wheel it truly feels like piloting a jet fighter, with the digital readout on the dash that's flanked by all the essential gauges and a wide array of control buttons. The great thing about a classic from the 1990s is that you get every modern convenience you could want in this premium 'Vette. It includes R134a air conditioning, power windows, power locks, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, an alarm system, factory AM/FM cassette stereo, and driver airbag. There has even been some nice wood veneer added to the panels to warm up the atmosphere.It is always a good idea to get a later C4 because the LT1 V8 was absolutely worth the wait. This small-block has a legendary reputation for proving the flexibility to be tame and forgiving in everyday traffic, but always ready to unleash its full fuel-injected 300 horsepower fury at a moment's notice. It looks exceptionally tidy under the hood, and with the whole car averaging around 900 miles a year, it gives you great confidence in this original motor's condition. There's a wicked growl from the dual exhaust at startup that just begs you to take the day off from work and take it through its paces on a winding back road. If so, you'll be rewarded by the fully independent suspension that has been engineered to hug the asphalt like an old friend. And the total performance experience is effortless with four-wheel disc brakes and grippy Cooper Zeon tires. On those few days that you do go to work, this Corvette can still be your friend with the four-speed overdrive automatic, power steering, and cruise control.This is a true collector's car, so it comes with the right documentation like the window sticker and owner's manual. So while you might have thought that a turnkey limited edition classic was out of your price range, if you hurry, this 40th Anniversary 'Vette can be yours. Call today!!!
