Are you sure that it's a 96? The VIN # says it is, but the color is wrong. Has it been repainted? All Admiral Blue 96s were GS w/ black or red interiors.

That's not a '96...'96s had body color paint on the little divider thing between the front driving lights and the side repeaters

I suppose you checked the VIN again? If not, go back and make sure you didn't make a typo. You mentioned that it is a friend's car. Do you have the car in your posession or does he/she have it? If you have it pop the hood and see if it has the LT4 engine.

yes i do have the car in my possesion.i have doble checked the vin# and made no mistakes.the car is an lt1 not an lt4.

ok that means we've got either a 94 or 95, someone would have to run a carfax or be able to analyze the VIN# to tell which one though

jn79vette · 11-10-2004, 04:16 PM

i have run a carfax on this car and it is indeed a 96.is this color combo
supposedly something not offered in 96?

The problem seems to be with the color. In your picture the car looks to be Admiral Blue (color code 28) the problem is in 1996 Admiral Blue was only available as the color for the Grand Sport, which was an LT4 6 speed car with a black or red interior. In addition to the Admiral Blue paint, the car had a wide white stripe runnung front to back.

Check the paint code on your car. It is located on a sticker under the lid of the passenger side rear compartment. If it is in fact 28 then you have something truly unique. (I'm guessing something is wrong with the color in the picture itself and your car is actually a code 43 - Bright Aqua Metalic)

For ref., here is a 1996 Aqua:
(and as you can tell, she goes teal in the sun to an admiral blue under parking garage lights at night)

The thought that it might be Aqua was just a wild guess. No other color is even close.

and this car was not repainted when the rear wing was added?

Seems awfully Admiral to me in that pic

aeronautica86 · 11-10-2004, 05:28 PM

thats definately admiral blue, and he did say it is an LT1 and a 6 spd so it can't be a '96

Frank43 · 11-10-2004, 05:31 PM

Very odd. Yes, the front bumper clip serperator should be body color, not black on any 96. Also, 6spds were ONLY coupled with the LT4 engine in 96. If it is an LT1, then it cant have a 6 spd. My guess is it is a 95 (due to side gills)
(unless the car was in an accident, and pieced together)

jn79vette · 11-11-2004, 10:36 AM

i can e mail someone more pics if they can post them for me.i would really like to know what i have got here.

85vetteguy · 11-11-2004, 11:03 AM

Looks like a 95 to me. Side gills,black between lights on the front, 6sp. LT1. If it is a 96 it has had extensive work and repaint. Guy

jn79vette · 11-11-2004, 12:01 PM

does this help?which one is the paint code?

jn79vette · 11-11-2004, 12:27 PM

ok,i'm an idiot.after looking closer at the picture above and rechecking the vin in the door and on the dash,this car is a 95.i didnt pay much attention at first but my friend sent me the title to his green 96 lt4.i have the title to this car on the way.now that thats cleared up how does $15,900 sound?thanks for all the help.
