LS1-Powered 1990 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Offered midway through the Corvette’s fourth generation (C4), the 1990 Chevrolet Corvette blended advanced technology with classic American performance. Buyers could choose between the sleek Coupe, with its removable roof panel, and the open-air Convertible, which offered top-down cruising without sacrificing performance.

This 1990 C4 Corvette received a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 engine from a C5 Corvette at the Carlisle (Pennsylvania) Nationals in July 2015. Work was performed on site by Chris Petris of Petris Enterprises. The car’s 700R4 transmission was rebuilt as well.

The Corvette is finished in Bright Red with a black soft top that folds into a hard tonneau cover behind the seats. Modifications include 18” Cray five-spoke alloy wheels, drilled and slotted brakes, Bilstein B8 shocks, a Dana 36 rear axle with 2.87:1 gear ratio, ZR1 style rear bumper cover, LED headlights, a black replacement top, Speed Hut gauges, and high-back bucket seats from a 1994-96 Corvette, which wear red and black leather covers.

Factory equipment includes pop-up headlights, a Delco/Bose AM/FM/CD/Cassette stereo system, and power-assisted steering, disc brakes, windows, door locks, mirrors, and seats.

Initially registered in Michigan, this Corvette has been registered in Florida for over 30 years.

This 1990 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is now offered by the selling dealer with a CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a clean Florida title.
