1986 Corvette Parts and Accessories

1986 Corvette Overview

For the first time in 11 years a Corvette is offered in a convertible model, but was run as an Indy 500 pace car replica only, that came with optional pace car badges in the trunk for the owner to decide to put them on the car. You could still get the targa top or a t-top on this year Corvette. The C4 saw other slight changes like the aluminum heads that were on the last 8,000 ‘Vettes produced in 1986. These heads offered a slight performance boost, but encountered some cracking problems that were solved for the ’87 run of the Corvette. To help tame this bow-tie Chevy made ABS standard for 1987.

Moving to the interior of the ‘86 ‘Vette, dash changes were made to reduce glare and the sport seats became the standard option. Chevy’s VAT security system also became a standard option, which was a key chip identification that would only allow the proper key to start the engine.
