ha as a senior member im guessing you no and are pointing out the vague ad, in case you really dont no,
a tach only going up to 6k rpm means it has the LT1, a Z would have a tach going to 8.
there is no dial between the seat adjusters so it doesnt have the Fx3
the slit in the radio up top mean sit has the cd player, so the upgraded cd/cassette bose system.
the other 2 RPO's i cant tell by the pictures but im sure someone more experienced with c4's can tell you

1993 Anniversary edition?????
Going to Look at a 93 which the owner (6th) says is a Anniversary edition with 54K miles, Black with gray interior, removable top, at, THE CRUISE DOESN'T WORK, and it has a Virginia title with REBUILT marked on it.
Wife stopped today to look at it and take pictures for me, battery dead so she couldn't listen to it.
I am not that familiar with the 1993 C4 so my questions to you experts are:
a. Is black a color for the Anniversary edition?
b. Any idea what a REBUILT marked title is?
c. Is this an Opti Spark model and is it something I should avoid?
d. Is the engine in this model the standard engine or an upgrade?
e.What are the options for an Anniversary Edition not on a Base?
f. Are these C4's good and comfortable for a 3-4 day trip?
Thanks for your help and Thanks to my fellow veterans for their service.

Wouldnt touch a rebuilt title....car could be Ok but when it comes to sell time people may get scared off.
Check with your ins co too before you buy.
If it every shows salvaged some wont insure at all.
