My latest addition.....1996 Corvette LT4 with 6600 miles










Not a thirdgen, but I could not pass this one up.....1996 Corvette LT4 6 speed with 6600 miles - Kinda rare as the only option on the car was the optional LT4 engine.
Usually, these cars are pretty heavily optioned, but not this one. It's an NCRS Top Flight car as well. Seller put new tires and exhaust tips on it (which was stupid) other than that, it's 100% original.

Sweet, but what are you going to do with the rest of the car? What are you gonna put the LT4 in? Details!

A friend has the 6.2 supercharged LT4 from a C7 ZO6 in his 2001 WS6 TA.

Congrats! C4s are a good value. Same with C5. I'd like to have a 4th Anniv. car. Passsed one on the side of the road yesterday, nice looking example with for dale sign in the window. I just couldn't stop and look, because if it was nice, I'd want to bring it home.

I know what you mean!
C4's are a incredibly good buy right now, IMO, they are a way better "Bang for the buck" than thirdgens are

Wow great score. LT4s were beasts i rode in a rare Camaro with the LT4 in it a few years back at Cruising the Coast. Very impressive. I've been to look at 3 C4s lately and a few 4th gen Birds. When I come across a good deal on one with a manual transmission im planning on getting it. C4s are cheaper to get in now than a Third gen it's hard to believe.

Thanks !!
Yes, lots of nice low mile C4's out there for good prices! Better buys than 3rd gens when you look at the HP, brakes, suspension, etc for the $$
FYI - The LT4 was a one year only engine (1996) and all of them had the 6 speed behind them.

Re: My latest addition.....1996 Corvette LT4 with 6600 miles

Nice ride, man!!!!!


Speaking of LT4 cars, I was at a truck stop in Ogallala, Nebraska in 1997 and there was a 3 car transporter there with 3 Hendricks Motorsports 97 30th Anniversary SS Camaros, with the 330hp LT4. They were all autographed under the hoods by ALL of the Hendricks guys. I think they only made NINE of them, and I got to see 3 of them in one shot. Let me see if I have any pics on my phone.....


Found a couple. Hard to tell in the engine pic, but the inner wheel wells, and radiator support are COVERED in signatures. Rick Hendrick, Jeff Gordon, Terry LaBonte, Ricky Craven, Dale Everham, etc etc etc......everyone with Hendricks at that time

Re: My latest addition.....1996 Corvette LT4 with 6600 miles

Beautiful car. It seems like C4 Corvettes are somewhat ignored by collectors and are sometimes criticized for their design. The value will go up. I don't understand the criticism at all. I think it's always been a great design that got even better with some of the small refreshes that were done over its run. It still looks fresh. I liked the C4 way better than the C3, and I think it was the best looking Vette until the C7, which I really like.
