If you’re looking to experience classic C4 Corvette performance with the wind in your hair, this 1991 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible might be just the ticket. With 73,400 miles on the clock and a clean Illinois title, this example is said to run well and has working mechanical headlights, an important detail on any C4. It’s offered for auction here on Barn Finds out of Frankfort, Illinois, with a reserve set at $9,500.
Finished in a classic shade of white over striking red leather interior, this Corvette carries the sleek styling that helped redefine the American sports car in the 1980s and early ’90s. The body looks clean from the photos, and the seller notes that the convertible top is in good condition, which is another plus for anyone who’s had to track down replacement soft tops. These C4s still turn heads when they’re well-kept, and the overall presentation here suggests it’s been cared for over the years.
Under the hood is a 5.7-liter V8, delivering solid performance with that classic V8 growl. It’s paired with an automatic transmission, which was a common option for this era and makes for easy cruising. The seller notes the car “runs good” and that the signature flip-up headlights are working, good news, since those can often be finicky with age. There is mention of a few drops of fluid found underneath, with no known source identified yet. A little investigative wrenching should clear that up.
The interior appears to be mostly stock and complete. With C4 values still relatively affordable, this could be a great entry point for someone looking to get into vintage Corvette ownership without breaking the bank. The mileage is reasonable for a 30+ year old car, and it sounds like a solid driver with room for light tinkering.
C4 Corvettes are gaining recognition as future classics, and clean examples like this one are becoming harder to find. Whether you’re looking to enjoy it as-is or give it a few personal touches, this drop-top ‘Vette could be a great summer cruiser.
Would you keep this C4 stock or start building your dream custom Corvette?

Classic color combination and the L98 engine does not have the potential Opti-Spark issues from the 92-94 LT-1. Looks like a nice summertime fun car.
Whenever I see a white Corvette with a red interior, it’s being driven by an overweight bleached blonde divorcee.

Oh I don’t know about the overweight part. Those seats are pretty narrow not to mention extremely uncomfortable to sit in. Gravity gives you help getting in but you’re on your own struggling to get out.
lol!
I just sold my ’89 6speed, with hardtop, for $8500. The reserve, in my opinion, is optimistic.
Not to be “that guy” but rear wheels are on backwards.
I’ve got a white 1992 convertible with hardtop, 68k miles, and a lot of new parts on it (brakes/tires/sensors/etc. etc.) that I’ve had for sale for the better part of 6 months for $9500 with only 1 person ever having inquired. As much as I like C4’s it seems the demand for them, other than the ZR-1’s, will just never be there.
ZR1 is just too risky. Grand Sport is the ticket in a C4, imo.
I had a ‘94 C4 Vert that I sold last year. I also think that not only are the rear wheels backwards, but they also belong in the front, and vice versa. If you look at the depth of the rim, the fronts are deeper than the rear, which shouldn’t be the case. GLWTS.
The ZR1 has wider rear wheels, but the regular Vette has 17″ x 9.5″ at all corners. The wheels on this car have been switched side to side. Thats bad because not only are the wheels directional, the tires are too.
That first pic has to be the most unflattering photo ever taken of a corvette.
Say what you want about a C4 but I love them. Clean, sharp design and the tilt hood when raised just looks bada$$ with those wide tires and rims. I have seen a few of these with upwards of 200K miles and still running strong so they’re good cars. The prices will eventually increase as time passes just like everything else. As the saying goes goes, “they don’t make them any more”
I love them as well I have had two of them a 1988 and currently my 1992 convertible. I’m not sure the prices will ever really go up other than the as for mentioned zr1s and the grand Sports. They were just so many of them made they got kind of a bad reputation over time etc etc. What I like is when I see one even from half a mile away I still know it is a Corvette unlike most modern cars. Even the c8… I really like it and I’m impressed with it technologically but when I see it from a distance I can never tell if it’s a Ferrari or a Corvette or what.
It looks good and would be a fine summertime driver. Price seems a tab high IMO but that’s personal choice. I sold my 86 convertible 5 speed last year because the wife now needs a walker and there’s no place for one in a C4 unless you have a luggage rack on the car and they are impossible to find. I ended up getting a C6 purely for it’s trunk which does work. I have to admit IMO the C4 was a lot more enjoyable on the windy roads.
The ONLY C4 Corvette with “mechanical” headlights.
All my C4’s were Electric…
How many others had Mechanical?
