The C4 Corvette Grand Sport stands as a poignant farewell to a generation, a limited-production homage to the legendary Grand Sports of the 1960s. Introduced in 1996, its sole purpose was to send off the C4 with a bang, channeling a raw, racing spirit into a street-legal package. Each Grand Sport was instantly recognizable by its Admiral Blue paint, white stripe, and twin red "hash marks" on the left front fender – a nod to the original racers. Only 1,000 examples were ever built, with just 190 of those being convertibles, making them highly sought-after among collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate their unique place in Corvette history. This particular 1996 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Convertible, with an astonishingly low 5,520 miles on the odometer, represents a rare chance to acquire a piece of that legacy. Power comes from the robust 5.7L LT4 V8, factory-rated at a stout 330 horsepower, paired here with a engaging manual transmission – the only transmission offered in the Grand Sport. Its distinctive red interior and the inclusion of the optional F45 Selective Real Time Damping suspension system further elevate its collector appeal. While this example carries a salvage title due to a past flood event, it has been thoroughly repaired and is presented as fully functional and ready for the road, complete with its owner's manual and dealer brochure. This is an exceptional opportunity to own a meticulously sorted, low-mileage example of one of the most distinctive and collectible Corvettes of the modern era.
