The C4 generation of the Chevrolet Corvette, launched in 1984, marked a radical departure from its predecessors, bringing a sleek, aerodynamic design and a thoroughly modern chassis to America's sports car. By the time 1996 rolled around, the C4 was in its final model year, culminating in what many enthusiasts consider its most refined and potent iteration. Chevrolet sent the C4 off with a bang, introducing the LT4 engine, a significant upgrade over the standard LT1. This special engine, initially intended for the Grand Sport, found its way into all manual transmission Corvettes for 1996, solidifying the final C4s as highly desirable collector's items. This particular 1996 Corvette Convertible exemplifies that pinnacle, showcasing the rare LT4 engine paired with a manual transmission. Documented as one of only 98 built with this specific combination of features, this striking red convertible with a black interior and black top has covered just 33,000 miles since new. Its 350 cubic-inch LT4 V8 produces a robust 330 horsepower, a noticeable bump from the standard LT1, and is complemented by a host of desirable options including the FX3 adjustable suspension, G92 performance axle, sport seats, heavy-duty brakes, and Bose CD audio. Having recently received its 30,000-mile service, this meticulously maintained example comes complete with its original books, window sticker, build sheet, and two sets of keys, ready for its next discerning owner. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a low-mileage, highly optioned, and historically significant final-year C4 Corvette.
