I thought all CE are silver and the LT4 cars were only mated with a manual tranny.

Why is this CE red and automatic with LT4?

It's not an LT4 for sure, esp. w/o an engine pic. Seller actually lists it as an LP4, whatever that is.

You can buy CE badges pretty much anywhere with Vette parts nowadays.

I was assuming the LP4 was a typo, instead of LT4. I will try to get the VIN# and verify.

I can think of two reasons to have rubbers around that car.

Get your heads out of the gutter! What kind did you think I meant?

I sure as heck would stay away from this car. The seller is obviously misrepresenting what it its. Who knows what else he's lying about. If he was honest he'd mention the aftermarket (and incorrect) collector edition badge.

LP obviously stands for Low Power.
