Overview of 1988 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible For Sale by Owner

The C4 Corvette was Chevrolet’s high-tech answer to the sports-car world of the 1980s, and this 1988 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible keeps that unmistakable character intact while adding a number of enthusiast-focused touches. Showing under 100,000 miles, this example stands out with its Baby Blue exterior, custom Baby Blue leather cabin, and open-top configuration. The digital instrument cluster, power-adjustable seats, aftermarket sound system, custom paintwork, and aftermarket wheels give it plenty of personality, while the reupholstered interior and replacement convertible top further separate it from a standard C4. For anyone after a classic Corvette that still delivers the look, sound, and low-slung feel that made the C4 such an icon of its era, this one checks a lot of the right boxes.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1988 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is finished in Baby Blue as part of a custom paint job, giving the sharp-edged C4 bodywork an especially distinctive look. The classic wedge-shaped profile, pop-up headlight design, and low stance are all unmistakably Corvette, while the aftermarket wheels add a more personalized finish. An aftermarket convertible soft top completes the roadster configuration and keeps the car ready for top-down cruising. The interior of this 1988 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is finished in custom Baby Blue leather and has been reupholstered, creating a cabin that matches the exterior’s bold presentation. The C4’s digital instrument cluster remains one of the coolest period details, instantly placing you in the high-tech atmosphere Chevrolet was chasing in the late 1980s. Power-adjustable leather seats, power windows, power door locks, and automatic climate control make the cabin comfortable and usable, while an aftermarket sound system with an Alpine audio head unit gives the car an updated audio setup.

Engine

Under the hood of this 1988 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a 5.7L naturally aspirated L98 V8 breathing through Tuned Port Injection. This example has also been upgraded with aftermarket aluminum heads, adding a performance-minded touch to Chevrolet’s classic small-block formula. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission, giving the car the front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout that has always defined the Corvette experience. Between the V8 soundtrack, the low seating position, and the open-air body style, this C4 still delivers the kind of analog American sports-car character enthusiasts look for.

$74,999

The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 1LT represents the C8 formula at its most focused: mid-engine proportions, naturally aspirated V8 power, and a chassis tuned to feel far more exotic than the Corvette name once implied. Showing just 8,109 miles, this example is finished in Black over an Adrenaline Red leather interior and is equipped with the desirable Z51 Performance Package, bringing a performance rear axle ratio, Z51 suspension, electronic limited-slip differential, upgraded brakes, heavy-duty cooling, performance exhaust, and high-performance tires. Its 20-spoke Midnight Gray forged aluminum wheels with red striping and Bright Red brake calipers add another layer of visual aggression, while the transparent removable roof panel keeps the car versatile enough for open-air driving. It is a low-mileage C8 with the right performance hardware and a color combination that suits the car’s dramatic character particularly well.
