Newbie here - I have narrowed the search to 96s and find 3 Collectors Editions locally. Im only looking for a very clean daily driver and am worried about getting a run out car thats been "cloned" say into a Collectors Edition. Any ideas to identify a genuine factory car - is the LT-4 the only engine in "CEs", vin would be a tip off to that, any other options that would be found on those editions that would set them apart? Also been all over articles on history of the C-4 and and find some conflicting info. - are C-4s still fiberglass, do they have side air-bags, is the selectible suspension option still found on 96s. One of them has a Greenwood package - is that a good/bad item. Thanks a lot for any help I can get.

Its hard to miss all the marks for a collectors edition, unless someone really wants to clone! Its all over my car, just run the vin through carfax. should get an idea of what you are getting first! :cheers:

Check to see if the sticker is still in the passenger compartment behind the passenger seat, under the carpet.

It should have a list of your options.

C4 is plastic, Hood is mostly fiberglass, greenwood package I would say no.No side airbags,

Thanks Joe - found it just like you said. Tried out a 96 LT-4 today and it was a big help.

:iagree: No greenwood package - IMHO! Good luck

Joe or others - going to look at a 2000 conv. would the option build info be in a similar location on a C-5 - thanks
