1988 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The fourth-generation C4 Corvette was developed with an emphasis on improved handling and braking, and as a result, was the first of its breed to use what GM termed “uniframe” construction. This entirely new chassis featured lightweight construction and fully independent suspension while the sleek exterior was thoroughly overhauled and incorporated several Corvette hallmarks like pop-up headlights and quad rear taillights. The updated interior included not only a digital instrument panel advertised as “the most sophisticated instrumentation package ever offered in a production automobile,” but also “space-age” aircraft-style bucket seats. Complete with a fully removable one-piece roof panel, the C4 Corvette remains a popular choice with enthusiasts due to its performance and aerodynamic shape.
