The trouble with spending half of your retirement fund on an investment grade Corvette is the amount of poorly restored 'projects' that are readily available for next to nothing. With every NCRS-grade car that shows up to a Chevy show there are 15 more hacked together, low budget builds that keep both prices and exclusivity in the lower end of the market. So, if you don't want a pile of parts held together with a hassle, you have two choices. The first, of course, is to cash in your blue-chip stocks and buy a high dollar restoration from a reputable Corvette shop. The second is to find a low production C4 like this 1996 Arctic White convertible. Freshly serviced and ready to roll, this rare C4 is a well-maintained example that mixes a roster of desirable options with only 63k miles of carefully chosen road time.
Even though it was the last of a generation, the 1996 Corvette regained the top spot in AutoWeek magazine's annual subscriber survey of American cars in which readers had the most pride. Dodge Viper was second.
One of only 177 Arctic white/black convertibles ever assembled, this showroom-fresh Vette began life at Al Serra Chevrolet-Geo in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Here's a detailed look at the car's highlights:
* 63,540 adult driven well maintained example

If you're searching for a fun summertime cruiser that can be driven without worry, you won't find a better deal than this awesome Corvette. It's a fantastic looking car that mixes a ton of eyeball appeal with plenty of open road enjoyment. Better still, with show shine paint, a stout drivetrain and a roster of desirable options it'll age like fine wine, becoming rarer and more valuable by the year!
