AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Chevrolet Corvette has been America's iconic sports car since 1953, but with the introduction of the C4 generation in 1984, Chevrolet took a significant step forward. The Corvette C4 combined a distinctly modern design with serious technology for the first time, improved aerodynamics, and driving behavior that could compete with European sports cars. By 1990, the C4 had grown into a mature and refined sports car, without losing its raw V8 character. The convertible version added the pure pleasure of open-air driving, making this variant one of the most beloved versions.
This 1990 Chevrolet Corvette C4 Convertible embodies that classic American sports car feeling. The long hood, low silhouette, and distinctive pop-up headlights make it instantly recognizable, while the open roof provides an unfiltered driving experience where the deep V8 sound is fully appreciated. The 5.7-liter V8 delivers power in a relaxed, effortless manner, making every drive an experience, whether cruising peacefully or driving sportily.
This particular example stands out due to its exceptionally well-documented history. The car features a clean Carfax report confirming it has remained damage-free and that the mileage is accurate. With no less than 51 maintenance records, including 22 detailed service visits, it is clear that this Corvette has been meticulously maintained over the years.
The car was recently serviced. In April 2024, an maintenance check was performed, during which oil and filters were replaced, and a general inspection took place. In previous years, important components such as the transmission, water pump, and starter motor were replaced, contributing to worry-free use. This means the car is not a static collector's item, but a classic convertible ready to be driven and enjoyed.

The interior exudes a typical '90s Corvette atmosphere, with a futuristic digital instrument panel, sporty seats, and a cockpit-oriented layout. Everything is designed with the driver in mind, while features like electric windows, central locking, and air conditioning provide comfort that remains pleasant even today. The body construction with corrosion-resistant coating and the clever clamshell front emphasize the technical ambitions Chevrolet had with the C4 at the time. Due to its age and mileage, the interior shows some signs of use, and the rubber seals are dried out and damaged in places (a new set of rubbers can be ordered online for about 100 euros).
Administratively, this Corvette is also attractive. The car is supplied with a USA Title and complete Dutch import documentation, with all import duties and VAT already paid. This makes it very appealing to European buyers. Additionally, the seller can assist with worldwide transport and shipping, further simplifying the purchasing process.
The factory-finished Corvette was delivered with the following options and equipment:
Standard equipment
New bumper-to-bumper vehicle warranty, 36 months or 50,000 miles, $100 deductible per visit after 12 months or 12,000 miles.
