Why this page

The Corvette C4 as a whole was built in large numbers, so it is not a rare car in itself and has no car page of its own. This page collects what is rare about it: the versions, engine and option packages built in small numbers – each with its own page and full history when it is a car collectors look for by name – and the factory colours with a documented production count, which are rows in a table, not cars of their own. Body styles of one version (coupé, convertible, hardtop) are rows of that version's production table.

Rare versions of the Corvette C4

Every documented rare year and version. Each has its own page with production figures, specifications, history and individual chassis.
