1996 Corvette LT4 Z51 6 Speed Overview - World Class 90s Performance

[@WarriorsPhoto]

That green exterior with tan interior is awesome. It's a beauty and I hope you keep her.

[@mattquerio]

I really wish I did. I actually sold this beauty for a little under 15 grand thinking that was a great offer. At the time it was, but I think today this is probably a 17-18k car in this color combo, stock, with the LT4 and Z51 package.

[@WarriorsPhoto]

@@mattquerio I love Corvette and hopefully 🤞 prices stay steady.

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

I'f anyone thinks the C8 is better looking than this ( looks, not performance ) then you just as well buy a Ferrari or a McLaren. This is a REAL Corvette.

[@EJleon96]

Yes sir!! This thing is BEAUTIFUL… I confirmed my preference for the C4 over C8 at Costco. They had a Maisto die cast section and I grabbed a C4 GS over a C8😂

[@hydroplaneconvoy8130]

I much rather drop 30-40grand on a super low mileage c4. Like 5-10k miles. My dream daily driver

[@yesh3279]

The color Green and Corvette always went well together. Unfortunately back when I bought my C6 that color wasn’t available, so I opted for the next best , Monterey Red. Love the style of the C4, but like the C6 Tech. This C4 is a very nice example

[@mattquerio]

Thank you. I love the C4, my interest skips past the C5.. save for the Z06. The C6 would be the next vette I am interested in, as I have only had C4 and C3 gens. I also like the C7, but I feel the C6 offers a touch more bang for buck. And the C6 is still a looker to me!

[@yesh3279]

BTW when I was young (in my20s) I had a ‘70 warmed overLS6 4sp. What a hoot, though as unsophisticated as a Conestoga Wagon. Love Corvettes!

[@mattquerio]

That's wild! What a beast!

[@byrnc927]

Beautiful car. I love the green. I recently owned a 1996 Torch Red LT-4. These cars are underrated sleepers.

[@mattquerio]

Agreed! Most people have no idea!

[@chuckwhitson654]

C-4 vettes get a lotta crap. I always liked em especially because they are now in a decent price range. This one is top of the heap. Thanks for sharing

[@mattquerio]

Thanks man! I love them too!

[@jarrodguy8400]

I had this car, minus the Z51, I was the fifth owner…I want it back!! Polo Green with the Beige interior, LT4, Bose Gold, both tops…did I say I want it back!!! I know where the current owner lives, 20 minutes away…thinking of sending him a letter or email “if you ever want to sell…”. What a perfect car!! The Beige interior makes the car, the Polo Green is second only to the Admiral Blue on the true Grand Sport. Coupe only, I will own another. Great Video, thanks for bringing back all the great memories. I cannot wait to get another!

[@mattquerio]

Thanks for the kind words, and my opinion on LT4 cars, and C4s in general is get one now while they are cheap!

[@daliaarce201]

I want this same car now ! It only has one previous owner I suppose because that’s what it says ….. but the dash board has check gauges light on should that make me worried ?

[@Stinger430]

Amazing car Matt! I had no idea they were rarer than the ZR-1s. If owned one of those it would be hard for me to sell it...lol. beautiful colour combo.

[@mattquerio]

Thank you. I think the colors really compliment each other nicely!

[@tonysteppan8495]

Couldn't agree more with your comment. When I was looking to buy a C-4 this was the color combo I most interested in. I passed on a Red-on-red 1990 ZR1 19.000 mile like new, like Matt's car somebody really took care of it. The red interior was blindingly RED. But like just off the lot new! I was concerned about Maintenace on the LT5 cost. When I took a short while to mull it over. But I passed on it. Had it been Matt's color combo I would have jumped at the offer. But still parts for an LT5? Just the clutch replacement is not $1.600 at a shop. But I've grown older, and engines and clutches are a thing of the past. Matt's car having 50.000 + is not a bad thing due to somebody taking care of service maintenance, REALLY important on any car or truck! I ended up with a L-98 1990 convertible hardtop with 27.000 miles on the odo. No fireball that's for sure. #1 It was lacking in maint. but nothing that tires, and overall service would take care of. The price was right and a one owner car with a perfect paint and body. Sport seat's no damage. Trans shifts great for an auto. The radio is non- Opp, Bad amp. goofy Boise system. Yup 40.000 when it rolled off the lot. Crazy money for 1990. ZR1 was around 90.000 Wow! A small thing I have found true over the years is you want to by a vett. Only if you can Drive it first and do a good inspection. Or have an independent insp. done. Your corvette life will be Happy one and not oh it cost what! to fix! Sorry to babble on.

[@Gotmath8]

You’re right. Great color, great car. My LT4 is black on black. I think I Love the Polo Green more but not the saddle interior. Also agree about the base seats...they’re better.

[@FatNFurious]

I love these things, utterly beautiful. Never had one and in the UK they are very rare things. Thanks for sharing.

[@mattquerio]

I agree, and thank you for watching!

[@garypiont6114]

Hey Matt, thanks for the vids You do your home work. Great c4s you acquired. I have stock 96 luckily it wasn't chopped up. It had the original variable shocks. I had 2 mechanics that missed how worn they were. I did them myself. That's the only issue with older cars, mechanics are rare. So it's required to do the work yourself. Again thanks. Love the green paint.

[@mattquerio]

Thank you! And I agree. With most of this stuff the only right way is to do it yourself!

[@robvoyles]

I have a 96LT4 Torch red coupe and love it, i also have an 85 L98 coupe and love it to, torque out of this world.

I love them both. The LT4 is a powerhouse, but I still love that low end PUNCH from a TPI!

[@davidncw4613]

Sooooo my friend... You mentioned a reasonable price point. Is this car available?

[@mattquerio]

This car was sold. In today's market it would be a bargain. I sold this car for $15,000 a few months after this video :(

[@mattquerio]

I should have kept it. I just bought another LT4. There is a video of it on my channel. Someday it might be for sale, but I'm planning on enjoying it a while :)

Thank you! I've sold this one, but I now have another. A 1996 torch red LT4. I just made a video on it. I do love that polo green though, one of the best colors on C4!

​@@panchosspeedshop8576, The first LT4 car I went to buy was Polo Green, I would have bought it too, but the guy got weird on me when I asked to put it on a lift so I bowed out. Then I saw this super low mile Comp Yellow car the next day and had to have it. . ​

[@rockbailey8516]

Have a polo green/beige 1993 LT1 6 spd convertible and a 95 ZR1 polo green/ beige. Incredible cars for the money. It takes some patience and research to have one that is well sorted. The ZR1 is very quick very smooth and revs to redline easily. Both cars a little over 70K on the clock. ZR1 is a Porsche killer. The LT1 is respectably quick and as a base model handles just fine. The ZR1 is basically a great car to modify but have resisted the temptation as I am not sure where I would use another 150hp. Anyway I enjoyed the review of the LT4. Next on my list.

[@jupitertremaine2826]

I have this exact car. 1 of 38 color combo. Mines high mile tho.

[@mattquerio]

Nothing wrong with a high mileage Corvette, that's the beauty of them!!! You can drive them all you want, and they're easy to maintain. Yours is a polo green lt4 just like this??

Nice car. Good video. FYI, the LT-1's in 1996 came stock with Crane aluminum roller rockers too. Take care Bud

[@mattquerio]

I've never heard that the 96 LT1s came with cranes. I'll have to do some research, but I don't believe that's true. But I will look into it!

[@keithlane4343]

I have an unmolested, 1996 LT-1 , 350 , C4 and it came with Crane roller rockers.

I think the other (92-95) LT1s came with steel roller tip rockers...but I forget! I know they are great engines. Mine with 130k miles looks like new under the valve covers...and runs great!

Keeping my 96 collector edition z51 lt1 auto 25k miles payed probably too much at 14999 but car is like new was going to list it but I think I'll wait cool video

[@mattquerio]

Thank you! Sounds like a keeper, and the price sounds fine in today's market!

[@RJBower-v3t]

I am considering a 96 just like this car. I heard the Z51 Handling Package is an option. How is this compared to the Performance FE-1 suspension? I heard the Z51 is a stiffer suspension. Was the Z51 generally preferred for cruising? Thanks

[@mattquerio]

The Z51 is still pretty comfy. It's stiffer than the base, but 1984 was the year that they were really stiff. This car was still very comfortable for touring and it is the specification that I would look for if I was shopping.

[@panchosspeedshop8576]

I daily drive a base Polo Green Lt4 also. 90mi per day round trip. Its a great car!

Oh man I wish I lived in a climate where I could daily one of my vettes. I drive them as much as I can in the summer.

Nice ride! It's almost a twin to my LT4: Polo Green/Beige interior. Mine isn't a Z51, however, and I have the base cassette radio. 53K miles, and I picked it up for a song last year, so I'm not complaining.

[@mattquerio]

Sounds like a great car. I didn't really have strong feelings towards polo green until I saw it in person. Then I was in love!

[@FugitiveVette]

I used to have that intake on my LT4. The only knock on it is it’s not sealed. Intake temps can get high.

[@mattquerio]

I intend to remove it in favor of a stock air box.

[@FugitiveVette]

@@mattquerio I would just seal it. I have the Vortex Ram Air system that works really well with intake temps.

[@Mike-zf4ev]

Great Video and nice car. I own a 92 convertible. It's quite an odd duck. It was born an LT1, automatic. The original owner, I'm the 3rd, was an employee of GM and replaced the LT1 with the LT4 and also added the 6 speed. I could not track him down to find out when exactly the swap was done. The car has 54K miles, so I really don't know how many miles are on the LT4 and 6 speed trans. I have the build sheet and window sticker that states the dealership where the car was originally sent in 92. At this point they are under a different name and they had no records of the original owner by the VIN. Do you have any suggestions as to how I may go about finding the original owner? Thanks again for the video.

[@mattquerio]

You might find help from a private detective, they might be able to reach out to the original owner for you. Then if the owner chooses to, they will have your contact information to reach out!

[@Mike-zf4ev]

@@mattquerio That's a thought. Thanks

[@andrewholland7298]

Mike, my dad built this c4 you have! I’m trying to figure out how to get ahold of you, or you can contact me- bc he would love to talk to you about it! I tried putting my email in but it keeps getting deleted. That car has a pretty cool history, and he’s been talking about it for years since he sold it. It was originally purchased in Lafayette, IN from the dealer and lived the majority of its life in kokomo, In- That’s just info to prove that I am legit. Any ideas how to connect and discuss this?

[@goodbonezz1289]

You mentioned the trap speed of your collectors edition but not the 1/4 mile time..would you mind sharing? I’ll give a guess @ 13.4?

[@mattquerio]

That's a very close guess. The collectors edition with the long tubes, 4.10 gears, and unknown pcmforless tune (might have just been to correct the speedo, and slight timing bump) ran 13.1054 @ 109.09 with a 1.98 60ft. I just went back and looked at the time slip in my Google photos. That was at the local track here, US 131 motorsports Park.

[@license2kilttheplaidlad640]

My dad bought a used 96 lt4 6spd conv. Black , tan , tan not sure past that it's been 25 years ago lol. Be curious about production numbers on that as close as possible if anyone knows. Both him and the car are long gone now.

[@mattquerio]

That would be a fairly rare car, I'd estimate less than 1700 LT4 base convertible cars (approx 50% of the 3350 LT4 base cars). With color etc, that number will get smaller.

[@MrMisanthrope1RBjr]

my 96 LT4 triple black convertable cost 52,000 when new, Just put the stock sawblades back on it. Replace the stock radiator with a Dewitts double row aluminum radiator and keep cooling system clean and no over heating, I even been concerned about how cool it runs sometimes. ha kalamazoo

[@mattquerio]

Oh wow you're super local! I'm up in Plainwell.

[@EagleScoutmano]

This would have been *The* C4 I want. Unfortunately, local prices are jacked up way high (Southeast PA), so I was priced out of the the higher-tier C4s. Still, a red '95 LT1 A4 isn't a slouch, for a base car.

[@EagleScoutmano]

(I would like to know the price on this one, and when you bought it)

[@mattquerio]

I bought it for $11,200 in mid 2021 in Michigan, and I sold for $14,900 going into fall to a gentleman in LosAngeles. When I sold the car i posted it in a C4 Facebook group, and it was on the market for about 15 minutes before I had a deposit. If I was selling this car today I'd be asking $17,900.

[@EagleScoutmano]

@@mattquerio yea, that sounds about right. My local market, any '90s C4 M6 is generally $13-14k base asking price, so a 3k premium for LT4 engine isn't surprising. My base version was $10k. Similar cars sourced out of the Midwest were, at the time, around 7k.

[@CC_Top_Solutions]

@@EagleScoutmano The Z51 (or Z07 depending upon year) makes a big difference in handling. Many owners/sellers do not know if they have it. If you are in the market, I recommend looking/holding out for one of those (check RPO sticker or look for 275 tires at all 4 corners...1992 the tire search does not work becuase they were all 275s). There is a 1993 Motortrend Article that does an awesome comparison of the Z07 to the Zr1 to the Viper to a Mustang Cobra to a Z28.

[@EagleScoutmano]

@@CC_Top_Solutions sadly, I am not in the market; I have a base coupe with A4, non-Z51. It does have the 3.07 final drive ratio, though.

[@mattquerio]

Yes, I sold it too cheap in hindsight. It went to the Los Angeles area.

[@moondog2525]

Where do you list your cars for sale? This is worth a lot more than $15k in todays market

[@mattquerio]

I sold this car on Facebook in a C4 group. These have risen a lot. I paid 11k for this car locally. I sold it for 15k. Today I think 18.5k might be a realistic selling price on this car to the right buyer

[@jamesflames9930]

Fast cars with the lt4

[@mattquerio]

It's really surprising how powerful they are!

[@trevor1042]

Where do you see the values of these going? Is there potential for these to be high dollar down the road?

[@mattquerio]

Well this car sold for 14,900. It was on the market for 15 minutes. Similar examples in this condition can be had in the $12,500-18,000 range today. The LT4 is gaining ground, as people are realizing there were less of these built than ZR1... and the performance is not at ZR1 level, but it's not far off. One of my LT4 cars saw 13.05 or so at over 109mph. I can say they have hit bottom, and are climbing at a rate faster than a typical TPI or LT1 automatic. But, like anything, C4s are an acquired taste. They are a fantastic car that you really need to drive before you judge :)

[@CC_Top_Solutions]

@@mattquerio I suspect the value will climb, but slow. I'm basing my opinion on value of C3 Corvettes. These are great cars to buy and enjoy...and as long as you maintain them, they won't go down in value...but I would not expect to buy a few, store them and retire on their value in 20 years.

A turbo sounds fun to me!!!

[@CaseTheCorvetteMan]

Tell me, because i've never got a straight answer to this, but what is an "original mile"??? Not one person has been able to give any sort of answer to this question yet. The roller rockers were Crane, essentially the same as Crane Gold race roller rockers. No idea why GM bothered with the 28lb/hr injectors on the LT4s, they most certainly were not needed, Callaway 383s used the stock 24lb/hr Multecs and never ran out of fuel. Swap the seat base leathers side to side ;) The car is in pretty darn good shape really isn't it.

[@mattquerio]

To me original miles means no major components replaced. If someone said to me 65k original miles, I would assume they mean the engine and transmission, and other major components have only been maintained... but otherwise not meddled with. But that's just my definition! And yes, this was an absolutely spectacular example!

[@CaseTheCorvetteMan]

@@mattquerio yeah mate no one has actually put it that way to me before, and your definition makes enough sense. I see this term used often, and then it'll be followed by "auto rebuild XXXX miles ago, AFR heads, crane XX cam, double springs, tuned by XXXXX" and things like that.

What an amazing car! I am wondering how the base seats would be for a tall driver, compared to the sport seats, as far as accomplishing leg room. Any idea? Thanks!

[@mattquerio]

I have had both, I would say there is not much difference in leg room between the two. I do prefer the look of the base seat though!

[@littlerougue]

is there not a hatch popper on the door

[@mattquerio]

To be honest cannot recall. It may have been in the center console. But I could be mistaken!

[@littlerougue]

@@mattquerio in my 1991 there is one on both doors and one in the center console

[@TacticalHardlinePro]

So did you sell this???

[@mattquerio]

Yes, it went to Los Angeles.

[@picekbmwmb5846]

Hello there im interested to buy it if you ready to sell it?where are you located im in NYC.

[@mattquerio]

It's sold, sadly. A collector in the Los Angeles.

[@KMC2869]

Did you sale this Bette?

[@mattquerio]

It did sell, yes.

Polo Green! I'll take it! The Vette belongs in Vegas, with me 🏆🤟😉😎

[@mattquerio]

Haha thanks man

[@RafalLelej]

Did this one sell?

[@mattquerio]

It did. It went to Los Angeles. I wish I still had it.

[@caganb]

Where is the lt4 emblem on the rear bumper?

[@mattquerio]

They did not come with any external LT4 emblem. If you've seen a car with that, it was added by an owner.

[@paulmoss7940]

@@mattquerio I have to disagree Matt. Mine has one , is 100% bone stock . my buddy bought new had one . Just not all had them and may have been dealer installed. Just like the Mobil1 sticker under the hood.

[@sauloguerrero6017]

How much is a car like that

[@mattquerio]

Well it sold for $15k, but today likely $17-18k.

[@ReedsPerformanceGarage]

I’d like to see it paint corrected and ceramic coated. The coating would bring the paint to the next level.

[@mattquerio]

I agree, it would POP

The front tires are hilariously wide.

[@bhajans1973]

The funny thing is, is those German cars after they get 10 years old they don’t put out the same performance, but that lt4 20 years later is still as fast as it was the day it stepped off the showroom floor. And if you look at the numbers it’s still putting up numbers that’s legit in today’s world. I’m definitely trying to find me one. Not to mention, you can find parts for the car and it’s relatively easy to work on and try doing work on a 911, which would still cost about 35 grand in similar condition. Assuming it doesn’t need any repairs. German cars are so overrated.

[@mattquerio]

I agree. The LT4 is a beast for it's era, and it's price point

[@michaelwarner2434]

Not supposed to use the steering wheel to help you get out and doors should be closed when you close the hood. Just sayin.

[@mattquerio]

All true!

[@mattquerio]

I'm not sure what you're getting at, but I'll help if you can clarify :)

[@Vekurus]

I am starting to see these cars head north of $24K, or at least owners are starting to try and force the price up. Give it time, they will be very expensive, like 3rd Gen F-Bodies.

[@mattquerio]

I am seeing a similar trend. A lot of these cars are getting bought up by younger guys (18-25) and "personalized." Sometimes that means wheels, stance, and a wrap. Sometimes it means vette cart. Either way, its to the point where the last of the original owners (baby boomers that bought them new) are selling, and they are being consumed at a rapid rate. Every day there is less clean stock C4s available. That's a fact.

[@Vekurus]

@@mattquerio Absolutely. Partly I blame KZbin (is it a bad thing? I really don't think it is one way or the other) as it seems C4 videos have become so popular with the car guy crowd. I think the whole "these are cheap, get them now!" is beginning to sink in. I still want one again, I had an 85' Z51 w/ auto back in 93'. It was the ugly two tone bronze, but didn't care. Was amazing what you had with a Z-51 vs a standard model (which my father had, 85' as well) Those big sway bars and end links, Bilsteins, oil cooler, dual fans on the larger radiator, faster steering, rear axle ratio (51 or just option? had the 3.0x ratio), and I think the monoleaf springs had a different rate? Can't recall.

[@jsboening]

Is $25k too much for a 96 lt4 with 11,000 miles on it second owner has owned it since 97. Polo green with beige interior.

[@mattquerio]

Yes. The car in Byron Center is over priced. I offered him 18k, and he was mad. But it's non Z51 base.

[@jsboening]

@@mattquerio yeah. It’s definitely a base corvette with the lt4 But maybe that’s a good thing as far as easing maintenance. It looks like a clean car but, I’d probably put too many miles on it and take a beating if I wanted to resell. Not terribly crazy about the green either.
