Default Good price for a LT-4?

I am looking at a red LT4 with 63k on it for 9600. It looks to be cherry plus he has all new bushings and coilovers. What do you guys think?

Purchase and run an Autocheck, and look for accident history, (if any), and the obvious better high score in relationship to the scoring range.
Also check the A/C operation, and where it's blowing from. Sometimes there is more of a air blend door issue on the '96 as they operate a little differently, then the year(s) before. Best of luck.

Im in the market as well. I know recently a local well kept LT4 with 88k miles, new tires, both tops and no accident history sold north of $8000. If your car is clean and no history of damage id say its a good deal

I'm a C3 guy that's been looking for a LT4 and I've seen a BUNCH all with different conditions and prices. It is a bit crazy out there.

That price sounds very "in zone" for the miles.

Go for it

Just for a reference. I bought a 96 CE LT4, last year with about 68K miles on it, and I paid $9000 USD, I paid $11000 CDN so it comes to about $9000 USD (if I did my math correctly).

Cant get them transferred, only problem with it is it's torch red, not my color of choice. Anyone want to buy a blue 92?

God forbid a Corvette does anything but parades and car shows.

He did race it, I race mine also but I backed out on it from putting together things he would mention about it.

in some cases a car that's raced is taken care of better then a car that's not but that's rare. Most racing a c4 race one because there cheap to buy and run into the ground and have a little fun doing it for not my $ outlay. Sorry if it bothers you but chev didn't make the lt1 to be able to take wide open high rpm racing. Its a street motor. Most who build a race motor at least use forged parts. Beat on an lt1 long enough and your going to have problems. Personaly I wouldn't give 5k for a car that had been raced. For the 9600 dollar asking price you can get a pristine lt4 coupe. I'm sure ill here the lt4 owners claim no way but like most of us we have a bit of an inflated view of what our c4s are worth. Seriously sell it and see what you actually are offered.

and that's the biggest red flag. It obviously was raced and he isn't being honest about it. What else is he not being honest about?
