Model overview

Model description

For 1987, changes to the Chevrolet C4 Corvette were subtle, with the exception of a very special option package. Chevy’s L98 V-8 engine continued to displace 350 cid, but now used roller rockers. This added an extra 5 hp, raising output to 240 hp. Power still went to the rear wheels through the Doug Nash “4+3” manual transmission, with overdrive for the top three gears.

A new Z52 performance package was also offered. This package provided larger 16” x 9.5” wheels, 13:1 steering ratio, heavy-duty engine cooler and cooling fan, Bilstein shocks, and a larger front sway bar. Z51 and Z52 cars recieved added chassis stiffening, which was originally designed for the convertibles.

If you see any build sheet for a car with the letters B2K, it is a Callaway Corvette twin turbo. Buyers could have their ‘Vette sent to Callaway Engineering in Connecticut right from the factory. There, Callaway would bolt on a pair of turbochargers as well as a host of other performance upgrades. It would leave Callaway with an output increased to 345 hp and fully backed by a GM warranty. Only 123 coupe and 65 convertible examples of the ’87 Callaway Corvette were constructed.

An electronic tire pressure monitoring system was developed, but only installed in 41 cars before being pulled from production, as the system was not yet ready. General Motors produced 36,632 1987 Corvettes, marking about the middle-of-the road for year-over-year C4 production numbers.

Many factors can increase a car's value including excellent condition, exceptional originality, a recent restoration, low mileage, unique provenance, desirable options, popular or unique color choices, and excellent maintenance records. Upgrades and modifications that enhance performance or aesthetics can also add value.

Factors that can decrease a car's value include unusually high mileage, poor maintenance history, visible wear and tear, accidents or damage, title issues, and gaps in ownership history. Additionally, less popular color choices and extensive modifications that don't appeal to a broad audience can reduce value.

Mileage plays a significant role in a classic car’s value. Lower mileage usually increases value because it indicates a higher degree of originality, is rarer, and suggests less wear and tear. However, cars with exceptionally low mileage may also have maintenance needs due to lack of use. Whether someone should pay more for a vehicle with lower miles will depend on how they plan on using it, and the vehicle's specific condition.

The value of modified cars differs widely based on the type and quality of modifications. While some modifications can significantly increase value, especially performance enhancements and high-quality custom work, others may not add much or could even detract from the car’s value if they appeal to only a limited audience.
