Okay, so when I said I was looking for a low mileage car I meant low (as in 30-40k low)...but yours is off the chain. Possibly one of the lowest mileages C4s left in existence. Man, I hope it goes to the right home.

I also hope it goes to someone who will appreciate the car for what it is.

I know it would have a great home and the best of care if it was in your garage! That would be a nice stable addition to your collection.

Not sure what I will replace it with at this time. Would like to put a new ZR1 in the garage, but I'll see what happens.

I have been watching your cars and can't believe they have not sold yet. The yellow car is awesome and I know it took you forever to find it. This GS was the same way. The last convertible was lost for 14 years, which made it hard to find! Good luck with your sales.

Thanks for the comment. It is certainly collector quality and being the last convertible built made it special to me.

No money out there my friend, and the banks do not like to finance a car this old.

If you're interested in the yellow car + cash, let me know.

The buyers with money have many options right now for cars to choose from. Sellers have to have something special to catch their attention, then the buyer wants to beat the seller down.

Your yellow car is my second favorite car, right behind the GS's.

Default Anyone with an offer?

Anyone interested in the car? I am certainly open to offers! Let's talk if you want a really low mileage convertible.

I know of people paying upper 30's for coupes right now (with black interiors, not red). It won't take a lot more to own the last convertible Grand Sport built.

Your killing me.....When I started looking for my fist corvette last fall it was narrowed down to either a 96 GS Vert or a 95 ZR-1.......The only GS vert I could find for sale at that time had 44k miles and unfortunatly was not well maintained..and I passed on it....I found my current 95 ZR-1 w/3k miles and bought it.....and couldn't be happier with it. If I had seen yours back then however there may be a different corvette in my barn.

This is one unique opportunity in my opinion, perhaps you should broaden your advertising to places like Hemmings, etc.... I would love to have it parked next to my ZR-1 ... but convincing the wife is a whole other story.....Good Luck, someone needs to grab this one!....Kevin
