Up for sale is a PRISTINE 1996 Corvette Grandsport Coupe 100% original as new. As a collector I have maintained the vehicle to show condition. The Corvette Grand Sport was produced in the C4 edition as the final year of production-1996. The factory made 1,000 total cars 810 coupes and 190 convertibles.
So what makes the GrandSport such a collector item?
The 96' GrandSport is a tribute to the early 1963 version, sporting the same color scheme of Admiral Blue Paint with the arctic white stripe, red hash marks on the driver side fender, but new for the '96 are the 17" Black 5 spoke aluminum wheels. The interior choices for the '96 were either black or a red/black combination with the name Grand Sport lettered onto the seats. New for '96 is the LT4 power plant made especially for the Grand Sports. Very conservatively rated at 330HP The LT4 motor was mated only to a six speed manual transmission and was a option ordered with base manual equipped corvettes that bore the Grand Sport logo atop the engine.
The RPO# for the Grand Sport Package was Z16 and added cost of $3,250 for coupes and $2,880 for the convertible. The RPO#Z16 includes:
LT4 330HP Engine

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
