The gauge collection on the fourth-generation Corvette is among my outright favorites. It has an unique retro appearance with bar-style lit up readouts for the speedometer, tachometer, and fuel degree, incorporated with an inset electronic speedometer and dazzling shades throughout. As a matter of fact, the only thing that isn’t matching with the futuristic (can we call it advanced if it’s 37 years old?) style is the mechanical odometer.
That odometer, incidentally, shows only around 10,800 miles on it. Whoa.
The Pick of the Day is a low-mileage 1987 Chevrolet Corvette noted for sale on ClassicCars.com by an exclusive seller in Pueblo, Colorado. (Click the link to see the listing)
“Excellent condition Corvette is family-owned, purchased off the showroom floor,”the listing says. The seller states that the auto has always been garaged (and there is a picture in the listing with the cars and truck garaged and covered to confirm it!). The outside is called “mint,” which is very easy to think considering it has actually only been driven 10,000 miles in its life time. A 2015 assessment from Corvette Center in Fountain, Colorado valued the car at $17,220 according to paperwork the seller has actually provided.
The C4’s life-span ran from 1984 to 1996, and it utilized General Motors’ Y-body platform which was a”uniframe”as opposed to a typical body-on-frame layout like the prior generations. Right out of the gate, the C4 was a sales success– greatly since lovers had been waiting since 1982 for the new generation to launch (the handful of 1983 cars produced were prototype and pre-production only). For 1984, the Corvette offered 51,547 units throughout 17 months. Sales dropped in a direct instructions for the next 4 years, with 39,000, 35,000, 30,000, and 22,000 units being marketed respectively.
According to the Corvette enthusiast internet site CorvSport, there were 14 various outside colors available on the 1987 Corvette. Today’s highlighted vehicle is Silver Beige Metallic, which strikes me as a relatively unusual color for a fancy vehicle. One of my favored features of this auto is that it is being offered as a “package” with promotional materials like a demo cassette for the stereo, an owner’s guidebook, extra keys, and an auto cover.
The asking price is $ 15,950. You will not locate numerous one-owner Corvettes with gas mileage such as this!(Let alone one from the 1980s keeping that awesome instrument collection). Totally rad. To watch this listing on ClassicCars.com, you can locate it in the archives at Pick of the Day.
