This 1984 Corvette coupe is turning heads on eBay. Not just because it’s clean, low mileage, and freshly serviced, but because the seller claims it’s tied to one of the most recognizable TV shows of the 1980s: The A Team.
The listing bills it as “Face’s Corvette from the A Team” and highlights just 10,480 original miles, along with more than $8,000 in recent maintenance, including new tires, shocks, struts, brakes, a polished aluminum water pump, tune up components, and a fresh battery. The white paint and red leather interior appear to be in excellent condition in the photos.
But here’s where things get interesting.
A-Team Connection? Maybe. Documentation? None.
The seller provides no documentation proving the car appeared on the show. And according to longtime TV car sleuths, that’s not surprising.
A post on IMCDB.org—the Internet Movie Cars Database—notes that the Corvette used in The A Team wasn’t owned by Universal Studios at all. Instead, the production reportedly rented a plain white C4 from a local company whenever they needed it. Before filming, the crew simply added red vinyl decals to mimic the signature look associated with the character Templeton “Face” Peck.
That means the original TV car wasn’t white and red, wasn’t studio owned, and wasn’t a permanent part of the show’s fleet.
Adding another wrinkle, YouTuber Videobob Moseley posted a video eight years ago showing what he described as a replica of Face’s Corvette. His car looks strikingly similar to the one now on eBay, but with one key difference: instead of vinyl decals, the replica’s red stripe was painted on.
That video has fueled speculation that the eBay car may be a tribute or replica rather than a screen used vehicle.
Even without Hollywood paperwork, the Corvette itself is appealing. The classic color combo of white over red, low miles, and a long list of new parts make it a standout example of an early C4. At $22,000, the seller is clearly banking on the A Team connection to sweeten the deal.
But without documentation, buyers will have to decide whether they’re paying for a well kept 1984 Corvette, a faithful replica, or simply a fun piece of TV nostalgia with a story attached.
