Car Bought - 96 LT4
 
Interesting process buying a car from out of State, arranging shipping etc. A bit of a challenge getting it licensed, some hoops in California...SMOG, Vin Verification, but happy to report I got that straightened out yesterday. Thank GOD for AAA DMV Services.

Car is an Unmodified, all original BASE Red on Red 1996 LT4 with 13,900 miles. Cosmetically, the car is pristine MINT inside and out. Still had the original Goodyear tires that rode like wood obviously. Replaced those yesterday with Continental Extreme Contacts.

I'm going to have to go through this thing and replace all fluids, belt hoses etc, but the car runs and drives well and everything WORKS.

Pictures Later :D

It's a time capsule! I know a lot of folks poo poo C4's, but this car runs damn STRONG. :yesnod:

If one is going to buy a C4, than LT4 or ZR1 for the win !

NotSlo 08-01-2021 9:31am

I do miss mine.

Norm 08-01-2021 9:41am

Very nice.:seasix:
You'll see soon C4's start to appreciate just like the C3's are doing now. It's crazy out there.

Looks like you bought a nice garage queen. Apply a good protectant on the paint (Norm approved) and drive it!

Louie Detroit 08-01-2021 9:55am

Nice - cleaner than a skeeters peter! I like the red seats and black dash board.

Same here. Had black on black. Great car until jack wad hit me from behind at 75mph and broke my ****ing back. Had to learn how to walk again.

Wish I had that car again.

OP, aren’t parts hard to get? Particularly electronic parts?

VatorMan 08-01-2021 10:23am

Probably the cleanest C4 I’ve ever seen.

You may be a little off on the poo-pooing C4's, there are a lot of nice C4's out there, and they are making a come back shaking off the stigma.
You have yourself a nice car there, I'd be proud to scoot around in that. :seasix:

I will say 31k since they didn't make that many and it's a California car.

Is being considered a Kommiefornia car an asset or liability?
