1994 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

When the C4 was unveiled in 1984, it represented a clean break from Zora Arkus-Duntov’s C3, with a completely new chassis and sleeker, more modern — but still evolutionary — styling. It was packed with then-new technology, like Bosch anti-lock braking, traction control, climate control, and analog/digital instruments. In a departure from the fiberglass panels of its forebears, the C4’s rear bumpers and panels used a sheet molding compound. And for the first time since 1957, the Corvette used single headlights instead of dual units, but they were still retractable.

The C4’s ride quality improved significantly after 1984, with its fully independent suspension achieving both a smoother ride and greater grip. And in 1992 the TPI engine was replaced by the high-compression LT1 V8. By 1994, that LT1 provided the driver with 300 horsepower, along with 340 lb-ft of neck-snapping torque that makes the lightweight Corvette so much fun to drive.

This example is dressed in Bright Aqua with black upholstery, wears 17” factory wheels, and is powered by a 5.7L LT1 V8 backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission. It now shows approximately 53,100 miles.

This 1994 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a bonded Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is.  

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Hagerty Marketplace representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
