    Classic 'Vettes are all about the numbers. So take note when you can find a well-presented 1996 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport. This one-year-only high-performance LT4 motor and six-speed is not only a terrific package, but it's also quite a rare sight (in this case, one of 197 ever made!)
    The Grand Sports were the true swan song of the C4. Chevrolet used it to showcase all the reasons why we love the Corvette - power, poise, and true distinction. Combining Admiral Blue with Arctic White stripes and those bright red hash marks on the fenders was a stroke of genius. It's a look that dates back to the early '60s and resonates deep within Corvette lore. Not only the appearance made these instant classics, but also rarity, too. Only 1,000 coupes and convertibles were produced in total, and when you look at option packages, this is one of only 197. That's why this example has been treated with respect, and we have documentation to support that this has averaged only about 1,900 miles annually. And a quarter-century later, the factory paint still has a terrific luster in the sunshine; the doors shut with authority from good panel fit; and the special black Grand Sport alloys still look menacing.
    Those dark wheels and dark accents around the car are a nice complementing piece to the full black interior. So this is the perfect machine for those who like to cruise with the targa top out. The leather seats have the right bolstering, and even have Grand Sport boldly embroidered in the headrest. Plus, both you and your passenger can power adjust these buckets to the individual ideal position. And that's only the tip of the premium feature iceberg. This GS is loaded with automatic climate control, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, power mirrors, electric rear defogger, control cruise, dual airbags, and a powerful AM/FM/cassette/CD stereo system with Bose speakers. And as a true driver's car you'll love how the stick shift feels in your right hand, and the grip of the leather-wrapped steering wheel for your left one. Beyond that, the full gauge panel will remind you of a jet fighter as the mix of digital and analogue readouts dance while you test the limits of this Corvette's performance.
    Chevy chose these Grand Sports to introduce the LT4 fuel-injected V8. The 330 hp engine boasted a number of improvements, including high flow fuel injectors, higher compression, and a completely revived valvetrain (including performance cam.) The result was the speedy fun you always knew was hiding within the C4's sleek lines. With such a desirable upgrade, we are glad to what is believed to be the original powerplant looking so sharp and clean. It's all correct right down to the red Grand Sport tag that reminds you only the best coupes got the LT4. The original appearance and good maintenance also means it starts easily, idles smoothly, and runs strong. While this coupe is beginning to sound like a car to park for an investment, it would be a shame not to have some fun on the backroads with the ZF six-speed manual transmission. Plus, the fully independent suspension on the late C4s found the perfect balance of road carving sports car and highway-mile cruiser. It was all part of a package that includes power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and grippy Goodyear Eagle tires.
    The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and maintenance records. This is the kind of car you know is great to drive today, and it will still be appreciated tomorrow. Don't miss out on this total package modern classic. Call now!

    General Terms
    Terms & Conditions
    We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
    FEES:
    A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
    AVAILABILITY:
    Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
    CONTACT
    : Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
    INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT
    . If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
    PAYMENT
    : We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
    SHIPPING
    : We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
    DRIVE IT HOME
    : If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
    DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
    : All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
    VIN VERIFICATION
    : We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
    MILEAGES
    : Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase. CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
    AS-IS
    : All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
    DISCLAIMER
    : This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
    Fees and Taxes
    Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
