The C4 coupe was the first general production Corvette to have a glass hatchback. The Corvette C4 came standard with an electronic dashboard with a digital liquid crystal display dash, with graphics for speed and RPM and digital displays for other important engine functions. Outstanding condition throughout, this fine example came to us from a local Corvette enthusiast collector. This Vette is very difficult to find in this car's condition and is ready to be driven, shown and enjoyed for years to come.
With the continual refinement of their L98 engine, a bigger focus on safety and security, and the development of many new functional and luxury features, the arrival of the 1986 Corvette carried with it the continuation of the spirit of innovation that had helped Corvette rise to become a world leader in the sports car market since its humble beginnings in 1953. The C4 represented a clean break from the previous generation of Corvette with a completely new chassis and modern, sleeker styling. The primary design emphasis was on handling and braking, with all-independent suspension with lightweight suspension and wheels, and all new brakes with aluminum calipers.
Under the hood, the L98 engine received an upgrade when the cylinder heads were changed to aluminum, reducing the car's curb weight by 125 pounds. This reduction in weight made the 1986 Corvette the first 'Vette in twenty years to weigh less than 3,000 pounds. From 1984 through 1988, the Corvette was available with a Doug Nash "4+3" transmission - a 4-speed manual coupled to an automatic overdrive on the top three gears. This unusual transmission was a synergy that allowed Corvette to keep a stout 4 speed, but add an overdrive.
