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

This 1988 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is powered by a 5.7-liter L98 V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential, and it is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic over Light Blue Leather. It is equipped with a replacement black convertible soft top, 17″ aluminum wheels, a Delco-Bose sound system, automatic climate control, wood veneer cabin trim, and pop-up headlights. The car shows 13k miles following ownership history in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Hawaii, and it was recently acquired by the selling dealer. This C4 convertible is now offered in California with the owner’s manual, multiple keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Hawaii title.
