THE STORY The C4 Corvette represented a clean break from the previous C3 model, with a completely new chassis and sleeker, more modern styling. Beneath the fiberglass skin was a fully independent suspension, the choice of a six-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission and the race-proven 5.7 Litre V8 with Tuned-Port Fuel Injection and lightweight aluminium cylinder heads. Bilstein Selective Ride Control was now available which allowed the driver to select from one of three levels of ride firmness (Touring, Sport or Performance). Standard equipment included air conditioning, Delco AM/FM stereo with cassette tape player, leather-wrapped Comfort-tilt steering wheel, driver’s airbag, power door locks, power windows, electronic speed control, halogen fog lamps, front and rear cornering lamps and power windows. Inside, the bucket seats were deeply contoured with a leather sports option that included power seats and lumbar support. THE CAR This beautiful C4 Corvette convertible is finished in gold duco with a cloth black convertible top in good condition. Inside the car is trimmed with black leather sports seats, red floor mats and a black leather trimmed steering wheel. Showing only 53,578 miles, it is an original low miles vehicle. The engine is the original 350ci (5.7 litre) V8 that is very strong with tuned-port fuel injection (EFI) and an excellent, deep exhaust note. Power is linear and is put to the road by a 4-speed automatic transmission, stopping is provided by 4-wheel disc brakes. The car is fully optioned with original 18” cast aluminium wheels, air conditioning, power steering, windows, seats and mirrors, power door locks, lumbar support seats, trip computer and more. Speedo, tacho, oil temperature and coolant temperature are all displayed digitally using advanced technology for 1987. The touch of a button changes the driver feedback from mph to kmph. All gauges and options are in working order, a Kenwood head unit with associated sub-woofer has been installed. A fun and reliable driver quality Corvette with a fantastic colour combination ready to go anywhere.
