Everyone has a favorite color of an iconic model, even if you don’t own or plan to own said vehicle. As I’m convinced I have fully cleaned myself of the desire to own a C4 Corvette, I can still freely acknowledge that if I had to own one, this is the color I’d spec it in. The seller’s car is clad in Medium Blue Metallic paint with a matching blue leather interior, and it looks absolutely fantastic. He claims it’s offered with a low reserve price, and with under 55,000 original miles, it remains in great condition overall. The Corvette is listed here on eBay with bids to $5,600 and the reserve unmet.

Some of you will look at this interior and undoubtedly find it completely unappealing; I get it. Blue is an acquired taste, and if you were buying new cars for your growing family in the 1980s, you may have even been totally sick of blue leather/vinyl interiors. However, as a child of the 80s, by the time I was of driving age, blue interiors were a thing of the past, and all you could seemingly find was beige leather and gray cloth. The blue leather shown here has some spots of wear and tear, but it still looks decent – and with the corresponding blue carpets, it’s likely the wildest factory interior you’ll see in a C4.

The seller presents this as a decent driver with some minor flaws. The paint has some oxidized spots, but the air conditioning blows cold. Another major highlight is the reconditioned digital dash cluster, as many of these fail over time. The fact that it’s been proactively repaired is a nuisance job the next owner won’t have to deal with. The original Bose stereo also remains in place, and overall, it appears to be a bone-stock C4 Corvette. Power-wise, the factory 5.7L engine produced 245 horsepower and 340 lb.-ft. of torque, and in this instance, it’s channeled through the optional automatic transmission.

The C4 Corvette is undoubtedly one of the most “available” performance cars you can buy. This color, however, doesn’t come up often, and with period-correct styling and paint jobs all the rage right now, it doesn’t get much more early 90s than this color scheme. The appeal of a car beyond its performance figures hinges on many factors, but good condition with decent maintenance histories and a desirable paint job all help to make a vehicle more desirable. This 1989 Corvette would be a great driver for the fair weather months even if it wore the more typical red or black paint job, but it’s pretty hard to top wearing blue-on-blue.
