1993 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
On July 2 in 1992, a White 1992 Corvette Convertible rolled off the assembly line in Bowling Green, Kentucky and into the history books as it became the one-millionth Corvette to be built. The special milestone Corvette was paired with a 1953 Corvette and the two cars would go on tour as the car was used to promote the upcoming 40th Anniversary in 1993. This production of the One Millionth Corvette was a big milestone for the model and Chevrolet pulled out all the stops to make it a big deal. The Corvette had even been signed by every employee at the plant as it went down the line. And when it came time, the car broke through a banner reading "1,000,000th Corvette" while those in attendance applauded. In the background, a marching band played "Born in the USA". Former Corvette Chief Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov was on hand and even rode in the car as it was driven through the plant. Zora joined then Corvette Chief Engineer Dave McLellan and Chevrolet president Jim Perkins, along with BGAP manager Paul Schnoes and UAW Local 2164 President Billy Jackson for the milestone celebration.
For consignment, one in a million with this crisp clean white Corvette convertible. This 5.7 liter LT-1 is capable of producing 300hp, handles like it's on rails and is loaded with creature comforts. It's a convertible for top down fun in the sun driving. White leather is for the interior which has plenty of technology of the day to keep tabs on all aspects of the internal workings on the fly. Oh, and I surely cannot forget the title verified 21,973 actual miles on the odometer that our consignor has added very little to during his 27 years of garage kept ownership.
Exterior
Clean Arctic White covers all the fiberglass, which remains in showroom condition with only a few small imperfections that one must look very hard to find. A clamshell hood, hidden headlights that rotate up at the turn of a dial, and white canvas convertible top are just the basics. Further investigation reveals body matching integrated bumpers front and rear, and aerodynamic straight fiberglass panels with well minded gaps throughout. Simple badging, and round-ish inset tail lights with dual horizontal blacked out tip exhaust are seen on the rear of the car. 17-inch shiny turbine style wheels wrapped in nicely preserved staggered width radials adorn each corner.
Interior
The dream continues with white leather covered high back buckets that have enough horizontal tuck and roll tufting to be the new Michelin man. Only very slight wrinkling of the hides is noted in this operating room clean environment. While being grabbed by this leather, use the side and console controls to electronically put you exactly where you want to grab the wheel, shifter, and press the accelerator to start your drive to hyperdrive speed. A smooth black center console races forward to the black dash, and houses some storage, seat controls, and the shift lever. Moving up into the center of the dash is an AM/FM/Cassette/CD orange readout radio, temp and airflow controls, all push button. This panel makes a sharp left in an upward curve passing the large info screen with various warning lights etc within and melts into the analog cascade of orange numbered and lettered gauges, which huddle around a central vertical rectangular orange LED readout for speed, and mileage. Nice clean black carpet covers the floors and storage area and shows no fading overall. 2-tone black and white wrapped door panels round out our tour and like the rest of the interior are cleaner that you can ever imagine.
Drivetrain
An LT1 5.7L V8 300hp small block mill featuring fuel injection is nestled with a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission strapped on the back. The engine bay is nice and very clean and highly detailed looking showroom, with no corrosion on any aluminum parts, or fading of plastic. An economical 2.59 geared limited slip rear axle is on in the back, not that you care about fuel mileage when driving this rocketship.
Undercarriage
Looking underneath, we can see no rust, slight patina, and slight fading with factory overspray still on the floor pans. A solid construction with an X frame reinforcement for some extra stiffness to carve those curves is noted. Independent SLA and transverse leaf springs suspension is on for the front, and a 5 link transverse leaf spring rear suspension is seen as are 4 wheel power disc brakes all around. Plenty of lightweight materials have been utilized for this suspension and underside mechanicals, all for more power from that LT1 upfront.
Drive-Ability
A quick starter, and hopping inside those overstuffed leather seats just grab you. After achieving perfect driving position, it was off to the test track where she performed just beautifully, with rocket-like acceleration, handling on rails, and quick stopping. Steering was tight and it provided a smooth ride at cruising speed and I had to stop myself from taking extra laps as to preserve the low low miles.
Dreams become reality right here at the Classic Auto Mall halls, and our many rooms may contain the automotive pleasure you seek. Everything is here, including this 1993 drop topper bathed in Arctic White and it is awaiting to be scooped up for a fraction of the price of the new version.
