Featured here is one of many outstanding Corvettes we have availble for sale at Garage Kept Motors. This low mileage, two owner 1992 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is a perfect example of what makes the Corvette such an icon in the automotive industry. The 1992 Chevrolet Corvette keeps things simple. In fact, in basic description, the 1992 Corvette, a fiberglass-bodied 2-seater with a pushrod overhead-valve engine driving the rear wheels and is in many ways unchanged from the original Corvette of 1953 and preserving the heritage. Of course, it is more than that when you consider a list of hard-to-see improvements that made the 1992 Corvette a benchmark in Corvette history.
This convertible represents an outstanding opportunity to get out and enjoy driving. Under the hood is the second-generation LT1 V-8 which was first introduced in 1992. The high revving LT1 pumps out 300hp and 330 ft. lbs. of torque. One of the coolest features of the C4 generation Corvettes is the flip up hood which opens to reveal the full engine compartment and front suspension. Under the hood of this Corvette presents well and is clean and has been maintained. To further enhance the driving experience of this Corvette is the ZF 6-speed manual transmission mated behind the LT-1 V8.
The underbody of this car is unrestored but with many of the factory chalk marks still present. The suspensions on the C4 Corvette is less brutish than previous generations yet improves handling making this a great candidate for weekend autocross competition. Equipped with the standard-equipment Bosch ASR (Acceleration Slip Regulation) traction-control system that automatically comes on when the car is started but can be switched off by a button above the headlight control giving full control to the serious driver. Braking is world class on this Vette with four-wheel power disc brakes equipped with Bosch ABS system. Ride quality can be controlled with a 3-position variable shock damping system that features a Tour, Sport, and Performance mode to meet whatever your driving needs are. Power assisted rack-and-pinion steering is nicely weighted and features a quick turn-in response.
This black paint on this car presents well with some light swirl scratches but shines with a deep luster. In 1992 Chevrolet softened corners and added squared-off taillights vastly improving the lines of the more boxier early C4s. The exhaust tips were also changed from round quad tips to dual rectangular outlets to reflect the new powerplant and complement the new taillight design. The wheels have been upgraded with aftermarket lightweight aluminum wheels and are wrapped in Nitro GT gatorback radial tires that subtly enhance the already racy looks of this Corvette as well as the handling of the car.
The tan cabin features black trim and bolstered seats upholstered in leather. The interior shows very light wear with some sun fade in the carpet and light soiling on the driver\'s side floor. The dash features ergonomic wrap-around instrument panel with analog gauges which is a diversion from the previously square digital dash and often problematic dash pods of the early C4\'s. Buttons on the instrument panel were changed in 1992 to black to make them easier to read. Break out your favorite mix tape to play on the Delco Bose Gold Series AM/FM/Cassette Tape Player as you cruise with the top down. The tan convertible top is in very good shape showing only some very light wear, and the rear window features rear defrost and has some light hazing present. In 1992 GM engineers enhanced the sound deadening and weatherstripping on the Corvette so you hear less rattles, squeaks, and driveline noise and more of those 90\'s hits on your cassette mix tape.
This Corvette has only 36,000 miles on it and only has had two owners who like many Corvette owners, pampered this machine, and quite literally saved the car the next buyer. Corvettes of this era are not only exhilarating to drive and enjoy, the Hagerty Price Guide is showing the values on these 30-year-old Corvettes starting to surge not only making them a great investment in fun, but a potentially great financial investment as well.
