1988 Chevrolet Corvette C4 Z52(?) Convertible (Note: This is Dad's)

Disclaimer: my dad and I don’t have any pictures of it because we weren’t able to take any pictures of it with our phones (we had to store it in a friend’s garage because we ran out of space at our place). Because of this lack of pictures, I had to find pictures of cars that look as much like it as possible; the largest difference between these images and the real car is that the interior has a wood grain interior. I apologize in advance!

Note: when my dad was insuring the car, the insurance said that this car was a special edition, and the only other special edition I found in this model year was the Z52. Due to this, I’ve decided that it would be best to use the specifications shown for the model in the case that it is an Z52. If what he says is right, it may be more than it seems to be!
