Default It's official, I now own a C4 convertible.

I did a thing last night.


Drove 2.5 hours to check out a Vette, took it for a long ride, made the deal, drove home and this is what I have.
1992 C4 convertible. Might be cliché' but it's red w/ a white top & tuxedo interior.

Has it's flaws, but for the $6200 price it's an awesome driver.
Made the trip home last night in pouring rain & got 26 mpg according to the instruments.

I'll be pestering you folks for all kinds of info now. LOL

Cheers!

Nice car and color combo

My 89 is Red/Red with a white top and I’ve never seen a C4 with a Black interior and White top they’re usually BLACK White tops usually came on the Red and White interior cars I wonder if a previous owner replaced it to white?

11T rpo for white vinyl top
19t rpo for black cloth top

Default Congratulations!

Welcome and congratulations on your 1992 purchase. Looks like a great value. You will love the LT1 motor. And of course top down cruising.

Best of luck.

Welcome to the C4 funny farm. Great group of C4 owners here that have a wealth of knowledge on all things C4. Looks like you got a great '92 vert for the money.

So much car and fun for so little $$$$$ Enjoy and send more photos of the car when you get a moment with the story of what got you looking at C4's, how you found this one etc.

Nice car. Always good to see another one down with the sickness.
Perfect time of year to have a Corvette too.

As requested, a couple more pics - taken outside work today.


Black & white leather looks surprisingly nice for 100,000 miles.

Barely any rash on the bolsters, seats show minor wear but are both really clean.

Cockpit

It really looks clean in there with the black & white contrast.

Some road grime but it's no show car. Not bad for 100k on the odometer. No leaks or smells, my drive home from buying it was 2-1/2 hours with no issues.

Good rubber, reasonably clean under the hood.

Not too bad under there.

Obligatory "butt shot". LOL


Plus - I kidd you not - as I was on my way to my insurance agent's office during lunch Prince comes on the radio with "Little Red Corvette".
I laughed, it was good.
