C4 Corvette Wants You To Swipe Right, Costs Less Than America's Cheapest New Car

Before delving into it, we will remind you that the C4 generation Chevrolet Corvette came to life between 1983 and 1996 at the Bowling Green factory in Kentucky, USA. The bowtie brand constantly refined it over the years, not only from a visual perspective but from a technical one, too.

Numerous special editions came to life, and this model was offered in two body styles. These included the targa top and convertible, and each one had a punchy (for that era) V8 motor resting under that long hood. Transmission options included manual and automatic options, including a six-speed stick shift signed by ZF and a Doug Nash unit with overdrive.

This one is said to feature an automatic, which is paired with the 5.7-liter V8 motor. The vehicle is said to "deliver exhilarating performance with smooth and effortless acceleration." We tend to believe the vendor, after seeing the multiple images it released on its website, that we will link in just a few moments, as this old-timer looks very good for a car that left the assembly line almost four decades ago.

You are looking at a 1987 model that has been "meticulously maintained throughout its life." It's not a low-mileage example, so that will probably disappoint you if such a ride was high on your shopping list, but we've seen far higher mileage than this one. The 'Vette in question has 108,618 miles (174,804 km) on the odometer, and by the looks of it, it can travel much more than that with minimum intervention (assuming nothing goes wrong, obviously).

The car has a classic red-on-red look, rides on ZR1 wheels, and is looking for a new home at Garage Kept Motors. So, how much do you think it will set you back should you want to see your name written in the papers? Unless you said $14,900, then you are wrong, as that was the asking price at the time of writing. Is it decent or pricey? One can find less expensive C4 Corvettes out there, but they could also come across pricier copies.

For what it's worth, this 1987 Chevrolet Corvette, which is advertised here, costs less money than America's cheapest new car. The latter role goes to the Nissan Versa, which is accompanied by an MSRP of $16,680 for the latest model year. So, for that kind of money, would you really get a new and hassle-free subcompact model or a great V8-powered American classic like this C4 Corvette? Speak your mind about it below.
