Tuesday was a remarkable day at the shop. A long time Grants Pass business person brought his incredible, show winning 1994 Corvette Roadster by to be consigned and we had visitors from Abu Dhabi, Dubai that had planned a visit to the shop as part of their cross country tour.

But it is this Corvette that you want to hear about. Pretend to be entering a Chevrolet dealership in 1994 and seeing a new C4 Convertible on the showroom floor for the first time. The car is triple black, without dirt or dust on any surface, under the hood, in any crevice, top to bottom. Even the tire threads are spotless. Current ownership has been since 2002 with 10,000 miles added but mostly while traveling to Car and Corvette events where it has won over fifty trophies in those twenty-four years. Passion does not begin to explain this stewardship but it does explain the care and obsession for this black beauty. One of his lines overheard during our visit was “You can never stop cleaning”.

The 1994 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster was a modern-classic C4 featuring a 300-hp 5.7L LT1 V8 and 6-Speed Manual Transmission as an option. It came standard with traction control and a much improved interior. It was a balance of American muscle with 90s technology, featuring a glass rear window, comfortable leather seating and a fun reliable driving experience often described as an excellent performance value.

During his ownership several upgrades were made to the car for showing. Weeks were spent cleaning after the first showing at the Rose City Corvette Club which it was dinged for dust and chassis dirt. The underside was scrubbed, the stainless steel mufflers and suspensions components polished along with searching out crooks and crannies that might cost the car points. The wheels were changed for ZR1 style rims which exposed the rotors and calipers. The rotors were replaced with slotted and drilled after market units. Greg’s upholstery recovered the front seats in Napa Leather which has to felt to be appreciated. We recorded a walk around describing all of the upgrades and attention the car has received which is on our site for more specifics and detail.
