LT4 Goodbye LT4 (This time for sure)

[okie]

Guess I will take this opportunity to tell all of you I finally sold the LT4. Kind of broke my heart, but as they say I think it was for the best. Actually I sold it back to the dealer (for a small loss) then bought a 35th Edition 88 for a lot less cash. The 88 is not perfect, and it is sure not an LT-4, but with a lot less invested I feel it is something I can afford to have as a hobby. I always felt a bit guilty when I saw the LT-4 sitting idle under the car cover. Perhaps if I had a "real" Grand Sport, I might have felt it was worth the additional money.

Although the 88 seems to have a few gremlins it seems to be just about right for an older car. It does appear to have a few enhancements under the hood as well. K&N Filter, Accel Ignition, aftermarket Alpine Sound System.

Strangely enough I have been told the 35th Anniversy car will appreciate at 3% pre year, while the LT-4 would depreciate at 13% per year.

Anyway, I am grateful for all the help with the questions I had when I first joined CAC

So, I will probably check in every so often to see what I am missing. Meantime I will drift off to the ordinary C4 side of things.

Thanks again for all your help...

Nothing a supercharger couldn't fix

Sorry to hear you got rid of your LT4 but hey, you still own a Vette. I like the 88 anniversary cars. I think they look sharp. Very easily recognized in the Vette Community

okie,

Chin up! Those 35th Anniversary cars are SWEET! Congratulations!

They are one of my all time favorite C4’s, I like them so much that I went and bought one of those miniature Franklin Mint replicas for my home office. If I could afford to have one and keep my LT4, I would.

I see a fella with a 35th during my daily commute to work during the warm months. I know it’s going to be a rain free day when I see him because I only see him driving it when the weather is perfect. He disappears once November rolls around.

Enjoy the new ride!

Thanks, I got one of those Mint cars as well. They do it justice. The fact that the car was so unique is really what sold me on it. Now all I got to do is figure out how to keep in clean.
