Used 1990 Chevrolet Corvette for Sale near Austin, TX

This is a beautiful car and a great deal. The car looks well kept and doesn’t look 34 years old.

This is my second "play car" so I drive just for pleasure and something to tinker with, For that purpose and giving the cheap price, it fits my purposes very well. I paid as much for my C4 as it would have cost to turbo one of my other cars and tune it. That being said, it's a unique and interesting car. The L98 engine is a classic Chevy 350 underneath so there's cheap power and modification options. The car responds well to modification as well, but is fine as-is. The powerband of the engine is narrow, but very good at the same time because of the torque. I love the clamshell hood which makes servicing a breeze. It feels much faster than it actually is and will keep you entertained around town. Handling is very good. The car rides firm, which I like, and turns very flat. This car begs for sticky tires. I also like the subdued styling and the "older" C4 body style. Other nice additions are the forged aluminum bits both front and rear. Paint is very good and better than a new Camaro SS I examined. The engineers put the money where it counts. The 6speed shifter is not very good and the ring that locks out reverse is not durable. The Hurst shifter is a worthwhile upgrade and is a traditional American modification to cars like this. The interior is loaded, but the materials are typical GM. For the convertible, the storage is not good. There's some room under the top when it's down, and more when the top is up, but you have to hold up the rear of the top with your shoulder to get access. The brakes are good, not great but I may need to bleed them. I'm able to get in and out of the car no problem and prefer the strapped in feel. Older folks will have a real tough time living with this and should look at another car or try one 1st. Car is also hand built with fasteners like torx head or screws used all over the place. I love this feature as it simplifies things for me, but have locktite handy or the screws will fall out. The engine runs out of breath at 4500-4800 RPM. The power is excellent until that happens though, but it should be noted. Factory Bose audio system have amps on the speaker that have capacitors that are now dried out. Budget for repairs of this system or replace with a standardized sound system. Overall if you like to hod rod or modify, this is the car for you. Nice big hood and no sheet metal to rust. If you like it as it is, it's a great car too. Just budget for complete fluid flushes at this point and perhaps weatherstripping to get it up to snuff.

i have a friend whose 1990 C4 I have driven to compare with my 1987 C4. Both are awesome and fast, fun and reliable. As with anything you must maintain it to keep it in top condition. I am 6'5", built like an outside lineman at 310 lbs and have no problems getting in or out and the legroom is fantastic. the only car I have ever been able to sit and drive comfortably is a Corvette and I have owned 8 of them now from 1965 thru to 1987. For best bang for your bucks the 85-90 C4 is the best all around funtastic street menace you can get an adredalin rush with and not mortgage your soul for. I have never found finding parts either new or used a problem at all with all the internet stores and Ebay stuffed with anything you could want.

Love my car!... HATE her previous owner. She used to drive really well but the idiot before me tried to put BOSCH quad tip platinum spark plugs in her and stripped out the #8 cylinder, which caused metal to get between the piston and cylinder and so now a rebuild is required! Other than that the car is perfect!!! Gas mileage is about 26/gal. on the highway. Paid 8 Grand for her 2 years ago.

Most unique Corvette, engineered to be the forefront during it’s tenure. The only one to have the front of it raise forward to have access to the engine compartment. The ZR-1 was considered advanced enough to compete with the exotics of that time, at an affordable price. The parts for the C4 are plentiful and their prices are increasing rapidly. It’s design was very soft unlike it’s predecessor that was designed to look like a graceful stingray. Getting into it can be a challenge if you’re too tall or wide due to the interior’s design. There were so many made and so many were abused, so make sure the car has plenty of paperwork. Enjoy the hunt!
