I bought this C4 three years ago (from someone here on CF!!), and it's been a blast, but I've gotten ill and I have lots of medical bills and not a lot of time to drive anymore. When I got it, I had it cleaned up by Tony's Corvette in Gaithersburg, put new tires on, and since then I've driven her a few thousand miles. I've done oil changes and maintenance regularly, and I always stored and covered it every winter since I owned it... and while I've only put on a few thousand miles myself, I loved every single one of them.
This is the most fun car I've ever owned, and the most monstrous-sounding vehicle I've ever been near in person , but it must go asap.

Modifications/Updates:
Nitto NT555 tires < 3000 miles/3 years ago - front: 275/40/17 rear - 315/35/17
Battery replaced < 500 miles ago
SLP Claw air filter installed < 500 miles ago
Working handbrake

(Done by previous owners
Pioneer head unit with AUX input jack
Replica C5 Z06 Black wheels
Hot Cam (exact part unknown)
Bullet catalytic converters
Long tube headers (exact part unknown)
Ram clutch (https://ramclutches.com/c4-corvette-conversion-kits)
Single-mass Flywheel
Custom tune
Dynojet - 344hp/343tq @ wheels
(You could probably squeeze a little more out of it with some tuning, but I'm happy)

Good:
Runs great, in great mechanical order
All major modifications done at specialty corvette shops
Well-documented service history from the previous and current owners
Water pump, Opti-spark replaced < 500 miles ago

Bad:
Paint on hood is in rough shape. Some scratches, peeling.
A/C directional buttons don't all work
Interior is around an 8/10. Door panels were reinstalled at some point and don't feel perfect.
Missing fuse box cover. I haven't been able to source a replacement.
Single-mass flywheel means the transmission rattles in neutral (but it revs more freely!)
Shift **** is a little beat up. New ones are like $40 but it's not bad enough that I felt it needed replacing.

Other stuff:
Full disclosure: There was at one point a p0134 code (Drivers upstream O2 sensor error) but no others. This happened after the SLP Claw air cleaner was installed. The MAF sensor was filthy and had a chunk of plastic caught in it, the error hasn't come back since cleaning that out.

Extra stuff:
Set of stock sawblade wheels wrapped in non-drivable tires, only used for parking it in the winter.
Extra driver's side floor mat.
Corvette-specific car cover

This car has been absolutely wonderful and incredibly fun, and I hope I can find someone who will appreciate it.

Thanks!

I can't either. If I could swing it right now this is the one I'd go for.

For those that haven't driven an LT4, they're a lot of fun
For those that haven't driven an LT4 with a Hotcam and Lightweight Flywheel, they're a lot more fun!
