The C4 Corvette represented a clean break from the Zora Arkus-Duntov-designed C3, with a completely new chassis and sleeker, more modern but still evolutionary styling. In a departure from the fiberglass panels of its forebearers, the C4s rear bumpers and panels were made from molding plastics, a sheet molding compound. The Corvette C4 came standard with an electronic dashboard with a digital liquid crystal display instrument cluster, with graphics for speed and RPM and digital displays for other important engine functions. The front suspension saw the C3s coil springs replaced by a transverse fiberglass mono-leaf spring, which was only 1/3 of the weight of the coil springs while also introducing an anti-roll bar-like effect on the front. From 1984 through 1988, the Corvette was available with a Doug Nash 4+3 transmission - a 4-speed manual coupled to an automatic overdrive on the top three gears. This unusual transmission was a synergy that allowed the Corvette to keep a stout 4 speed, but add an overdrive. Under the sleek hood you'll find a 350 cubic inch small block V-8. Everything works as well as it did rolling off the showroom floor on this 1986 Chevrolet Corvette. OPTIONS INCLUDE: AC, AM/FM radio, Cassette, Cruise control, Power windows, Telescopic Wheel, Tilt wheel, Power mirrors, Seat belts, Anti theft system, leather interior, Radial tires, aluminum alloy wheels. I do drive this car daily, so the mileage will change.
