For sale a rare, and in excellent condition 1996 Corvette Grand Sport. I bought the car ten years ago from a Corvette dealership in Orlando Florida. I had owned a Grand Sport previously, but had to move to Denver so I had to let it go. Once I got back out California, I missed it enough that I knew I had to find another one. For those that don't know, the Grand Sport was the last of the C4 Corvettes ever produced, and was meant to send the C4 off in a big way. It was given it's signature admiral blue with white stripe paint job, black ZR-1 style wheels, and some major engine upgrades to give it the one year only LT4 motor, among other improvements. For a complete rundown on all of the changes to the Grand Sport over the regular Corvette, I'd really recommend checking out GrandSportRegistry.com. It's an excellent resource, and I found it super handy while I was looking for mine. Only 1,000 of these cars were ever produced. Of that 1,000 only 810 where Coupes. Of that 810 only 206 came with the Black Interior and with the F45 adjustable suspension. Everything on the car is stock, just like the day it came off the line. I'm a huge fan of the car. It's not exactly what you'd call fast in a street light to street light kind of way, but my God, it is one of the best touring cars I've ever driven. It's extremely comfortable once your inside ( which I'll admit, is a bit difficult due to the ride height, it's not the kind of car you'd want to go do errands in ), and it seems like it was built for the open road. It's highly stable at very high speeds, and seems to have been geared more for top end cruising than drag racing. I've taken several road trips in it, and have never once regretted choosing it over anything else. I also find it to be one of the most beautiful cars ever produced. The paint alone is absolutely stunning, but matched with the aggressive styling of the C4, the car is an absolute head turner. I guarantee the next owner won't be able to take it out for a weekend and avoid getting some shout outs, she's absolutely beautiful out on the road. Unfortunately due to some circumstances in my life I've had less and less free time to take her out and really enjoy her. She deserves to be out there one the road doing what she was built to do, not sitting in a garage. It's my most sincere hope that her next owner has the time to enjoy and respect her the way she deserves ( please, in the name of all that is good and Holy, DO NOT PUT A SPOILER ON HER ). If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact me: 818-312-2526 Thanks very much for looking.
