The C4 Corvette, a generation often celebrated for its sharp styling and technological advancements, truly came into its own during its final years of production. For 1996, Chevrolet sent the C4 off with a bang, introducing the highly anticipated LT4 engine. This wasn't just a minor tweak; it was a significant upgrade to the already potent LT1, boasting revised cylinder heads, a more aggressive camshaft, and a higher compression ratio. Rated at 330 horsepower, the LT4 was exclusively paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, making it the ultimate driver's C4 and a fitting swan song for a generation that spanned over a decade. Of the 21,536 Corvettes produced in 1996, only 6,359 were convertibles, and a mere 4,360 of those received the coveted LT4 engine and manual gearbox, cementing its status as a highly sought-after variant. This particular 1996 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is one of those special examples, featuring the desirable 5.7L LT4 V8 engine mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. With just 32,797 original miles on the odometer, this car presents as a well-preserved piece of Corvette history. Its convertible body style offers an exhilarating open-air driving experience, perfectly complementing the LT4's robust power delivery. This is a prime opportunity to acquire a low-mileage example of the C4 generation's most performance-focused convertible.
