1996 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport 5.7L V8 PFI OHV 16V 6 Speed Manual

US$51,995.00

For sale in our Dallas/Fort Worth showroom is a mint 1996 Chevrolet Corvette. This isn't just any C4 Corvette though. This is the limited production Grand Sport. As a last hurrah for the Fourth Generation Corvette, Chevrolet released 1,000 Corvette Grand Sports. There is no mistaking a C4 Grand Sport for any other car. The recipe is simple: lay down the eye catching Admiral Blue Metallic, set a fat white stripe down the center, lay down two red hash marks on the driver's fender, and wrap the fat Goodyear rubber from the ZR-1 around the black five-spoke wheels and you have the look complete. Of course, anything bearing the name of a legendary racecar can't be all show. The Grand Sport received reworked LT1, renamed the LT4, that has an upgraded camshaft, aluminum high-flow heads, larger valves, higher compression pistons, high flow fuel injectors, and roller rocker arms. All of these factory upgraded parts were good for an extra 30 horse-power and 500 rpms tacked on to the redline. All in all this was a very fitting farewell for the longest production generation Corvette, and with the limited production of just 1,000 units this is sure to be a collectible item in the future. This Grand Sport is one of only 190 convertibles made, and with only 4,317 actual miles it is a must have for the serious Corvette collector. The 96 GS has seen positive increases in their value over the past few years, and have no reason to do anything other than continue to climb. With the incredibly low mileage, this car is a sure bet in the world of Grand Sports.
