Few cars wear the 1980s quite like a black C4 Corvette, and this 1986 Chevrolet Corvette from Motorious inventory turns the volume up with hot-rod flames running down the hood and front fenders. It's currently in-auction, and it packs plenty of classic Corvette ingredients for a buyer who wants something with attitude.
Under the hood is the 5.7-liter V8 that powered the generation, paired with an automatic transmission for easy, relaxed cruising. It's a combination that has always suited the Corvette well: strong, flexible power without much fuss.
The black exterior is the perfect canvas for the yellow-and-orange flames, which give the car a rolling-art-project look right out of the gate. Better yet, the listing notes that the flames are decals that can be removed, so the next owner can keep the custom flair or peel them off and enjoy a clean, all-black C4.
Inside, the gray interior features leather seating, power windows and power locks, along with air conditioning for long summer drives. And because this is a Corvette, the roof comes off: the removable targa top turns the coupe into an open-air cruiser whenever the weather cooperates.
The car is offered by a dealer in Branson, Missouri, and you can see all six photos, the full specs and the dealer information on the Motorious listing page. Corvette fans can also check out more of our coverage, including this rare 2013 Corvette 427 Convertible and this numbers-matching 1965 L78 Convertible.
With a V8, a targa roof and a look that's impossible to ignore, this 1986 Corvette is a fun way into the C4 era. Check out the listing at Motorious to see more.
