This makes me happy I bought a 87 convertible 4+3. Paid 6500 for it two days ago and don't regret it.

Obviously the LS-1 was a misprint.

Not many ZR-1s (pictured) are going for under $10k these days... Oh, and LS1 in 92 "V4s"??
Other mistakes not withstanding, I agree the C4 is a super value - especially for a hobby car!.

"One issue is that the majority of the C4 class of `Vettes are now considered classic cars, so the price is quickly increasing. When you could once slide into these for a quick $3K , you are now looking at least $7K for mid-1980s models, but you can sneak into the 300-horsepower mid-1990s models for less than $10K."
When was that? I can't ever remember other than project or very worn C4s being less than 3K. The 7K number seems to be a more towards reality.

The C4 is a lot Corvette for a reasonable buy in.

They never made mention of the LT5 and showed it as an LS1 that was supposed to be an LT1?.. They don't know squat.

Some ricer had to write this article. They know a good bit about the imports but botched the vette.
