It is difficult to buy a used car at a long distance. If you`re not
committed to it and prepared to fix the problems you might encounter, I
wouldn`t advise it at all. What I did when I bought our `Vette from 2
states away was to look until I could buy a car I wanted for several
thousand less than the budget, and I have since spent the balance fixing
things and upgrading the hi-fi. There are car dealers who trade only in
`Vettes and muscle cars, but you usually pay a premium price. Do you have a
local Corvette club? Many times the members will know if someone is looking
to sell a car, they know the condition, and club members like to see cars go
to good homes.
Best of luck to you.

Seeing that you had a ZR1, I think your best bet for a C4 is a 96 with the
LT4 engine.
Good Luck

=============================
I agree... the lT4 is a darn good engine...BUT I would be looking for
ANY Grand Sport ..
..IMHO it is the ONLY C4 that is :"collectable" or will hold its
value...
Otherwise I would be looking for a used C5 and live with the
depreciation ..as you drive smiling down the road...
