‘95 Convertible: 17k Miles with Optional Factory Hardtop
A really nice-looking automatic C4 with the rare hardtop
A low mileage C4 represents an incredible sports car value and I happen to be in the minority of auto enthusiasts that love this generation, especially the later years. I owned a ‘93 that had been through several owners when I bought it, and it proved to be extremely reliable with absolutely no unscheduled maintenance or repairs over the six or seven years I owned it. With the excellent handling, six-speed ZF transmission, and 300 horsepower LT1 engine, it was a blast to drive.
The Dark Red Metallic paint on this ‘95 seems to be in nearly perfect condition and is complemented by the optional factory hardtop. A hardtop cost nearly $2,000 when ordered with a new C4, and therefore only a handful of customers in 1995 bought it. Finding an original factory hardtop is even more challenging now.
A few features that first appeared on the ‘95 models were the restyled vents on the front fenders, redesigned windshield wipers to resist chattering against the glass at high speeds, and a revised torque converter that was lighter and more durable to improve shift quality. This car remains bone-stock, right down to the radio.
The 5.7L LT1 engine with aluminum cylinder heads and sequential port fuel injection produced 300 h.p. and 340 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine bay looks original and very clean with no aftermarket accessories.
If you need additional performance, there are many vendors available offering upgraded parts to increase power.
The classic Corvette sport seats and entire interior look to be in excellent condition. This is not really surprising considering the mere 17,311 miles on the odometer.
I feel that the $24,995 price is very high, even with the low mileage on this pristine car. I would expect it to sell for no more than the low twenties. It’s been for sale for over a week here:

Love C4 convertibles (and C2 and C3) with the auxiliary hardtop in place. As you wrote, not many of the hardtops were sold in the C4 generation; they were not available from the factory until 1989.
