Is this a time machine? Because you're going to have quite a hard time believing this 1987 Chevrolet Corvette is three decades old. From the rare and shining paint, to the complete and crisp interior, to an undercarriage you can almost eat off of... it will be hard to find something more attractive at even double the price.
This coupe has barely averaged over 1,400 miles annually, and you can tell those few miles were also careful ones. The level of shine on the Medium Gray paint showcases the metallic element embedded within. And we believe this could be the original application. That's especially important, because only about 1,035 were produced in this color for '87. More than just the paint, you need to look at the details. The body panels are some of the cleanest and straightest you'll see on a C4. The glass is crystal clear. Plus, the turbine-style wheels look like someone hand-polished them every Sunday.
If you like the exterior color, then you're going to love the inside, too. The gray leather interior is just as nicely preserved as the exterior, and so we know you'll love taking the targa top out to showcase the well-coordinated total package. The power adjustable bucket seats provide the kind of comfort that could make some modern interiors jealous. The two-spoke steering wheel was purposely designed to give you a commanding view of the unique instrument cluster. The digital gauges were state-of-the-art when they were introduced, and so it's a signature piece that everyone looks for today. That's why it's essential to have it looking as good as this one. But more than just the gauges, as you gaze across the entire interior, everything looks great and correct. This includes the controls for the power windows, power locks, and factory AM/FM/cassette stereo. Plus, the air conditioning is blowing cold with R134a. That makes it the perfect vehicle to cruise with the top off, even in the summer season.
Tilt the hood forward to see the fuel-injected V8 in all its glory. This L98 350 cubic-inch motor has such a look of honesty, that we suspect it's original. And just like the rest of the car, there has been all the right care right down to Mobil 1 lubricant. And we also know there have definitely been investments in upgrades. As you look over the undercarriage photos, the major suspension components continue to look fresh because they have been powered coated for preservation. And that newer stainless dual exhaust almost looks like chrome. Plus, as you look closer, you'll spot new urethane bushings to keep everything feeling tight on the road. These combine with the fully independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and grippy Bridgestone tires to deliver a performance worthy of the Corvette name. But when it's time to just enjoy the grand tour, the four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive, power steering, and cruise control make sure this vintage coupe will get you there in comfort.
Complete with owner's manual packet, plenty of maintenance records, a car cover, and many other extra components, this is the rare and beautiful classic C4 you've been waiting for. But at this price, it won't wait for long. Call today!!!
