Love me a black LT4...had a 76 K5 yrs ago (burg/white, 454) it was a blast. Nice square bodys are tough to find not rusted or hacked up.

Looks great. My 96 LT4 is a twin. What did you miss about the C4 that you bought a second one?
BTW, welcome back

I was a teenager in the '90's and always dreamed of having a Corvette. I got my first one, an '84 Frankenstein with an '87 L98 transplant in 1999. I then got a '96 CE in 2003 and kept it until 2019 although I hadn't driven it much after the kids came along. I didn't think I'd miss it but after getting my C7 I knew something was missing. The C7 is a wicked car but it just doesn't have the fun factor, and for me the nostalgia of my teen years.

Yes, '87 all original except one repaint. (The original paint on those cars was brutal)

I consider it Base cuz the only options are the upgraded radio, clear roof panel and the engine.

Finally got to drive it for the first time today! Yes, I know I should have test driven it. I did get a test ‘ride’ before I bought it with the PO driving. Then when I picked it up my buddy drove it home. He gave it a full thumbs up, but I’ve been too busy with work to get out for a drive since I took ownership. All I can say is, damn, I knew I did the right thing and I’d sell the C7 before I part with this machine. It’s such a blast to drive.

I am surprised at this statement. Do you mean the C7 lacks the rawness and the pure sports car feeling of the C4? My ultimate dream car is a C7 GS.
