The Chevrolet Corvette C4 was built from 1984 to 1996.
The Corvette, the most traded version: The C4 Corvette marked a revolutionary departure from its predecessor, introducing modern aerodynamics and advanced technology to America's sports car. Built on a completely new platform with a backbone frame and independent rear suspension, the C4 delivered handling that finally matched its looks. The 5.7-liter L98 TPI V8 produced 230-250 horsepower depending on year, while the legendary LT1 arrived in 1992 with 300 horses. Notable variants include the Grand Sport's wide-body aggression and the ultra-rare ZR-1 'King of the Hill' with its exotic LT5 engine. Production spanned 358,180 units over 13 years, making clean examples increasingly sought after. The C4's digital dash and pop-up headlights define 1980s automotive excess, while later models offer genuine performance credibility. Values are climbing steadily, particularly for low-mileage Grand Sports and any ZR-1, as collectors recognize the C4's significance in Corvette evolution.
