Optiman,
Your C4 is gorgeous. Just wanted to let you know to find out all the details of getting the car over the border if you sell to someone in the US.
I was selling my C4, and a very nice Canadian gentlemen was all set to purchase the car but with all the border fees for him and all the tax forms they wanted me to sign (basically making me claim the purchase price money as "income" on my taxes) - it made the deal unacceptable to both of us...
Im not sure coming from Canada into the US is as difficult, but you might want to start investigating that now, so in case someone from the US becomes interested, you can share all the costs to get it over the border.
Good luck!!

In 1996 I had my 1980 painted that color, still is that color. I get lots of compliments when seen, get weird looks when I tell anyone I have a purple vette. One of GM's finest colors IMHO.

Finally got around to using Cirvette DNA app
Next time quoting prices, maybe you should click 330hp LT4 engine and manual transmission.
Value went up to $13750
Also app does not take the rare color under consideration.
Also app only allows under 25k miliege or over 50k difference of another $1100.
Showroom compared to excellent is a 50% increase in value.
I believe at $14,700 the car is priced correctly.
It's an app that doesn't take geographical location under consideration.
Sorry for venting

i get price police emails every week, people just get p'd they cant afford it.
hold out, tax returns are coming in, guys will want a new summer toy.
Can always go down but not up!
Dont think its the color so much just overall condition, yours is pretty sweet and obviously you stay on top of it- that counts for a lot with these old things. The first timers will have to learn the hard way with a cheap fixer we all did

Just as an FYI I sold my 96 CE LT4 for 12500. I'm in Canada (Ontario) and mine had under 100,000kms so very nice condition and I was second owner. It was a Canadian car just like yours.
Realize mine was not as rare as yours, as there were a lot more Collector Editions made. For some reason these there is just not much love for the C4's.
