Default New C4 owner
Hi all
Finally got around to say hi. Previous C3 owner.
Purchased 96 end of last summer, LT4, Deep metallic purple.
Needed new tires so went wider with A-molds and 315 rears.

Only 320 ever made in Deep metallic purple in 1996.
71 with LT4 engine
Might be the only one in Canada?

Congratulations. Great looking car.

Pretty rare combination. The only other LT4 I have seen in that color is the one that Jim at Powertorque systems races.

The color has to be seen in person, looks different in different light.

No paperwork, just the word of an 81 yr old passionate corvette owner.
Health reasons had to sell all his cars.
Have the ownership history only.
Only needed tires (to old) brakes and reverse switch for back up lights.
Wanted wider tires, same sizes as Grandsport. Since I needed tires went with the zr1- a moods.
I figured a color like purple needs a more masculine color wheels in black.
