1985 Chevrolet Corvette C4 – Right Hand Drive
A distinctive and highly unusual example of America’s iconic sports car, this 1985 Corvette C4 is finished in Red and shows an indicated 128,451 kilometres. Notably converted to right-hand drive, and fitted with a 5-speed manual transmission, it has been owned by the current custodian for the past 20 years.
Powered by the classic 5.7-litre (350ci) V8 and paired with a Tremec TKO 5-speed manual gearbox with a Hurst Sidewinder conversion , this Corvette delivers the engaging, analogue driving experience that defined mid-1980s performance cars. The right-hand-drive conversion makes this example particularly appealing for Australian enthusiasts seeking usability without sacrificing authenticity. Fitted with ZR-1–style wheels, it presents with strong visual presence and period-correct appeal.
Chevrolet Corvette C4 Model History
Introduced in 1984, the C4 generation marked a major technological leap for the Chevrolet Corvette. Featuring an all-new chassis, modern suspension design, improved aerodynamics and a far more refined driving experience, the C4 redefined the Corvette as a true contemporary sports car. Early C4 models like this 1985 example retained the raw character of the small-block V8 while benefiting from improved handling and braking. Right-hand-drive conversions were never factory-produced, making professionally converted examples particularly rare and desirable in right-hand-drive markets such as Australia. Today, the C4 is increasingly appreciated for its blend of classic V8 muscle and modern engineering.
