I was only looking because I read through this thread last night and got curious. The Corvette shape is iconic and I wouldn't mind owning one someday... even the C4 as I think they represent Corvette's version of the mid-year... much unloved but will still be desirable to those who want in the game on a budget.

I do have to comment, however, that most of the C4s and even the C5 to some extent had really ugly steering wheels. It reached a pinnacle of ugliness with the rectangular monstrosity that graced the last of the C4 interiors in the mid-'90s. Why did they think it was a good idea to take something from the Caprice parts bin and put it in the icon? GM for you, I guess.

It's unlikely my Corvette left Texas after I traded it in. I last saw it in a Craigslist ad posted by the dealer that was later removed after the car was sold, but I have not seen it since.

That's just the thing with "mainstream" car manufacturers; parts from their cars are often carried over to other models.
