That's a really rare C4.

Don't confuse rare and valuable though. Actually the price seems pretty fair. And we know dealers will always come down a few thousand

Beautiful color, HTF body kit but I would want to see receipts for what was done to the motor.

I don't think the kit paint matches the body paint either, but that is just me. It would be interesting to know when the kit was put on.

Some one tell me what makes this car special. Just looks like a C4 with a body kit to me.

The bodykit is rare, IMO it was put on later in the cars life though.

I concur I believe the widow released several final kits years ago. This is a newer mod

Larry Shinoda was a famed Corvette Designer. This body kit is, IMHO, the best one for a C4. That rear spoiler treatment is outstanding.

Waaaaaaay too much for an 86 with those RPOs.
Interior is sun baked and faded.
Panel fitment is okay 6/10

10-12k is more inline for clean 86 with this kit.
I've always wanted one of these if Mears and Rahal would sign it...

IMCO this body kit, the Greenwood Motorsports kit, and the GM GTO kit looked so much better back in the day then they do now. The only one that has really stood the test of time is the Calloway Sledgehammer but I might be the only one with that opinion.

Years back, a friend of mine had a Steel grey (or blue, can't remember) ZR-1 with the Shinoda body kit. Must have been really rare. The thing looked really sharp.
