Default Rare model???

http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/cto/835239702.html


Rare model Corvette - very few made. You may have never seen one on the road, but now you can own one. L98 model includes 5.7 V8, auto, power everything, hard top for convertible look. Excellent condition inside and out. A lot of car for reduced price of $10,000 which includes full cover. Must see to appreciate! For more information, contact Dennis at (513) 770-0442 home or (513) 376-2329 cell between 9am - pm.

It's rare because it has hash marks on the fender.

Never seen a C4 with those before....

Oh, and the 16" wheels that no one wanted...

you cant fault him for being a salesman!

I am half tempted to drive my even MORE RARE 1985 "classic colector item" corvette over there and see it.

They only made a few 1985 vetts after all a few being 40 thousand! only 7603 in black! Very very rare

Those look better than the other 88 wheels imo.

Other than the base model's being more limited, that doesn't look like anything special.
