Is there any car more American than the Chevrolet Corvette? Wearing the economic bowtie badge but packing a supercar punch, the Corvette long ago co-opted the European sports car recipe, but with the twist of a big American V8 under the hood. It’s an iconic, legendary vehicle, and there’s always somebody out there wanting to buy a Corvette, classic or contemporary.
But what happens if you’re saddled with one of the “lesser” Corvettes, your C3s and C4s to be specific. There’s a lot of those ‘Vettes out there, and not nearly as many interested buyers. But there are ways to draw extra attention to your particular vehicle. In this case, the owner decided to go with the tried-and-true Double-G method; girls, and guns.
Want more information? Well tough, because all you get is the bare minimum when it comes to useful facts. What we’ve got here is a “new” 1993 Chevrolet Corvette convertible of the C4 vintage, boasting not even the softest caress of time. We have to admit, this car looks cleaner than a freshly-power washed porta-potty, though the oversized rear spoiler reeks of early 90s
Why stop there? Why not add in some blazing-hot babes with big guns? Heck, there’s a picture on the Craigslist posting that barely contains the Corvette at all, just (we’re assuming) the owner posing with a couple underpaid undergrads. Meanwhile, this guy is asking $26,000 for his pristine ‘Vette, which is at the very top end of the scale for these machines.
Unfortunately for him, the market for C4 Corvettes hasn’t matured in the same it did for the 1960s models, and while his addition of girls and guns to the sale ad did get us to write about it, it probably won’t get him his asking price.
But it never hurts to ask, right?
