1988 35th Anniversary Special Edition Corvette

Read our lips: 1988 C4 Corvette is a hot ride that promises nothin’ but a good time.

To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Corvette, Chevrolet released a special edition in 1988. This Corvette was an exclusive ride as only 2,050 were produced. And Chevrolet made sure that this special edition C4 RPO Z01 was definitely a sexy ride. To paraphrase Jessica Rabbit, it wasn’t bad, it was just designed that way.

The 1980’s produced some of our favorite Corvettes, and the ’88 coupe is no exception. The gorgeous C4 model, found on Barrett-Jackson came with many extras to celebrate 35 years of Corvette’s dominion in the sports car arena. It is perfectly and decadently 1980s, painted white with a black body roof bow, it has a delicious white leather interior including the steering wheel. The interior’s carpeted door sills and dyed carpet adds pop to the look. The car also includes white painted wheels and special badging both the interior and exterior.
