This Chevrolet Corvette C4 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1985 Chevrolet Corvette coupe is finished in white over dark red leather and powered by a 5.7-liter L98 V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes the Z51 performance package, power accessories, cruise control, air conditioning, a removable roof panel, and a Bose sound system. The car was first delivered to the Chevrolet Central Office in Warren, Michigan, and the seller acquired it in 2016, reportedly from a Chevrolet executive who used it as a company car and later took ownership. This C4 shows 11k miles and is offered with a window sticker, a build sheet, an owner’s manual, removed parts, and a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name.

Several rock chips on the hood which were touched-up under previous ownership are noted by the seller.
