Default New C4

I just got a new corvette and I am so excited!

She is a collectors edition, silver/red, LT4, 6 speed, convertable. And she is absolutely gorgeous (I think).

She will join my 81, so I figured I better come over to the C4 forum to say hello to you all too!

Have to love the Red Interior on that Collectors Edition!!!! Very Very rare and a convertible to boot.

Congrats!!!!

How many miles on it? Do you plan on driving it, mod'ing it and or plan on doing NCRS down the road?

Great car

She has 42K miles. No, I try to keep my cars as original as possible. I plan on driving her as much as possible! This car is amazing and so so powerful compared to my C3.

I will take her to local car shows and cruise ins and parades. That is what I do with my 81. The problem now will be picking which one to bring!

I had to have the red interior. My black vette has red interior too and I think it is really nice.

Great looking rides!
I saw a C4 just like yours go through the auction at Bloomington Gold. It had very low miles and sold in the 20s.
Congratulations!

Very nice. Enjoy the "honeymoon" with the car....the first few months with a new vette are unforgettable. The '81 is sharp too....I may have to add a C3 to the collection someday.
