A modified 1986 Chevrolet Greenwood Corvette convertible is being presented for sale, offering a distinctive take on the fourth-generation Corvette shaped by one of the most recognizable aftermarket names of the era. Showing 16,717 miles, though true mileage is noted as unknown due to exemption, the car reflects a period when bold aerodynamics and race-inspired styling were central to Corvette customization.
The Greenwood name traces back to brothers known for racing Corvettes and developing dramatic aerodynamic treatments to support their competition efforts. Beyond the track, they applied those ideas to street cars, producing custom builds and body kits that became closely associated with high-performance Corvettes. While their work was most visible during the C3 era, Greenwood offerings continued into the C4 generation with body kits, suspension components, wheels, and other upgrades.
This example wears a Greenwood body kit and rear wing that significantly alters the C4’s factory profile, giving it a lower, more aggressive appearance. Finished in Flame Red Metallic, the convertible features color-matched body cladding and a wide rear wing that stretches across the decklid, framing the quad taillights. A tan convertible top and period-correct “salad shooter” wheels complete the exterior presentation. Cosmetic imperfections are present, including paint chips, scratches, and wear to weather stripping, particularly on the cladding.
Inside, the tan leather interior remains largely intact and well preserved. The perforated bucket seats show minimal wear, and the cabin retains the C4’s distinctive electronic gauge cluster with digital readouts and ascending light bars. The center stack houses factory controls and a Delco AM/FM cassette radio, while the Doug Nash shifter for the 4+3 manual transmission sits within easy reach.
Power comes from a 350-cubic-inch V8 rated at 230 horsepower, paired with the Doug Nash four-speed manual with three overdrive gears. A 3.07 Positraction rear axle delivers power to the rear wheels. The undercarriage is described as clean, with minimal surface rust, four-wheel power disc brakes, and a dual exhaust exiting through quad tips.
Suspension remains stock, using a transverse composite leaf spring up front and an independent rear setup with trailing links. During driving impressions, the car was noted to accelerate strongly and handle confidently. Air conditioning and the power antenna were not functioning at the time of evaluation.
As C4 Corvettes continue to gain appreciation, Greenwood-modified examples like this one stand out for their period-correct customization and connection to a unique chapter in Corvette performance culture. See it here.
