Review and test drive of a C4 I've tried to find for years, a yellow 1990 with sport seats, really special car to me, as I remember when this interior refresh came out, love it with the 84-90 exterior.
People are missing out on the C4 corvette. I have a super nice 94 polo coupe and it's a great fun car. People just assume you only get a c4 because they're cheap . I was in High school in the early 90s and this was the car to have .
They really are, agreed. I used to pass a red, parked 87 on my way to high school every morning (late 90's), drove a 78 Firebird Formula at the time lol, wanted that C4 bad. I do like the sound/quality of Borla, can't go wrong:)
My friend, Chris in high school had a brother that worked at a steel mill. And had the Corvette C4 ZR1. I had a chance to ride it to school and now I own one myself.🤓🤓🤓🤓
Beautiful Corvette that will pull hard all day long. The stereo is absolutely incredible and i urge you to keep it stock. I will tell you more about my C4 Corvettes another time. Take care man.
Thanks very much my friend, 100% agree on the factory bose system, they sound phenomenal for being 34 years old, just gonna have my factory unit redone. Would love to hear about yours as well, appreciate it and you take care too🤝
Picked up a 96 LT4 with Z51 sports package six speed manual at 20K miles. All stock in perfect condition. I really enjoy seeing yours as it’s beautiful.
Thank you very much:) My dad's best friend had an 86 Fiero GT with a manual, V6. He said that car really surprised him, they do run good! Gotta love the old school stuff, tune them yourself🤝 I wish they had kept making those, very cool looking cars inside/out, especially the one you have.
Love the yellow! Best color imo. Been getting my corvette fix since my 88' doug nash c4 burnt itself to the ground from the wiper motor, haven't been able to get all the parts to fix it. Anyways I enjoyed spending 20 minutes cruising around with you.
People like you and comments like this is what I love best about this, really makes it worthwhile, thanks so much, enjoyed you cruising along too🇺🇲❤️ So dang sorry to hear about yours, I love the musclecar feel of the Nash, had a super t10 in a 78 Trans Am, really happy you enjoyed this video, happy day for me.
Great cars, I really loved mine. It was sold not too long ago, 1989 with 26,000 miles on it. Due to a decline in my physical well being I no longer could take care of it in the manner in which it deserved to be kept. The high price of somebody else maintaining it was out of the question as well as finding a person wanting to work on "old technology". Plus, I'm not comfortable with others wrenching on my Corvette. No regrets though, I had 21 great years with that car.
Feel exactly the same way as you my friend, you know it's done right if you did it right yourself🤝 Had an 89 Z51 6 speed, sure loved that car, learned how to wrench myself because I couldn't afford to pay someone to haha. I hope your health improves too by the way, I am sorry. Had some sciatic nerve pain go to my left hip 3 months back, wasn't able to do anything, hope the best for you, will say a prayer as well.🙏🇺🇲🏎
I'm excited for you dude. I just got a '96 LT4. I've waited my whole life to own this car. There's just a great feeling driving these things. So dang fun!
I had a friend that let me drive his lt4 6 speed, that is one awesome ride, super quick. Man I'm excited for you too, congrats! Enjoy the ride, really happy for you brother🤙
Hi. I just bought my first C4. It's a '96, and I love it. I just needed some information on fixing my driver's side door panel. It's popped loose because of the broken clips, so I have to lean on it to clip it back. I also need a left rear speaker/ amp assembly, and finally, I'm waiting for a new 52 mm throttle body. Hope to hear back. Thanks. BTW....Mine is the same color. Competition Yellow. And I need a new glass roof. It cracked in the middle. I lived in Columbus, OH to.😊
Right on my friend, and congrats! You're already starting off better than I did, I had a basketcase 1984 LOL. So the door panel if the new clips are able to be secured well I'd just re use that if it's in nice shape, did just see a nice see through targa on a C4 Facebook forum for $500 shipped, they varied a bit but might fit your 96 (great year C4 btw) If not try Ebay, sometimes great deals pop up on all kinds of C4 parts. Also get on C4 forums on Facebook, tons of good parts there, just do Paypal only, no friends and family so you're safe from scams. A fellow Ohioan huh, it has it's ups and downs, thankfully I don't drive like a lot of them xD As far as the speakers/amps go it can get expensive to replace em all etc., I've only had to replace the control unit but if you're not too concerned about keeping it all original I'd wire the speakers to an aftermarket head unit, if not have a stereo shop with experience do it:) Throttle body will give you a few hp and better response, I love LT1's too, had a 94 Z28 6 speed that was a lot of fun.
@Feral80sKid Thank you. I'm thinking of a relens, but I would be without a targa roof for about 10 days due to shipping back and forth to Melrose T Tops in Illinois. I'm taking the left speaker out, and maybe I can hope for a loose wire 🙂 I need to look into the door panel again. I hear it clip each time I push it back. I'd like to see a video on repairing door panels on a '96 C4. I'm looking for more videos on C4's from you. Thank you.
You're welcome:) Hopefully it's just a loose wire🤞 maybe worst case just that amp. I don't usually do more than one video for a car but C4's are special to me too, I'll see what I can come up with. A clip or 2 may be worn down, hopefully that's all it is.
Good-looking car man I like the C4s and the c5's I currently have a C7 2019 Grand Sport manual love it but I still love these older cars hang in there you're doing a good job with your videos
Thanks so much for that, trying to get better at the videos:) The C7 is beyond excellent in every way, and you have the ultimate LT1, Grand Sport with a manual! Just awesome❤️🤙 Really appreciate the comment my friend
The automatic prices are somewhat reasonable, but man, trying to find a 92-96 with a manual is crazy. Less than 10 within 300 miles of me, and they're all either very high mileage, or over 20k. I could get a C6 with and LS3 for those prices instead, haha.
I totally agree, it's getting to a point on a lot of classic cars where it's just not worth it anymore for what you get. I really like the Datsun 240z and the 280zx turbo with a manual, had a few over the years, now I'll never own another one, not for these insane prices:/
Loved watching this video. I have a low mileage 93 Vette that’s all black inside and out it’s in extremely good shape to. My 350 has 300 hp so it’s a little more power.
Really glad you enjoyed th video, C4's are way too underrated. I really appreciate the LT1 motor, had a 94 Z28 with the 6 speed, nice torque curve and pulls hard😎
Great video! I'm keeping my eyes open for a '90 too! Want the 6 speed, but auto is fine for the right car. Always had older cars, but my current 2016 Camaro 2SS is amazing. Still, something a little older to hold down the other half of the garage wouldn't hurt. Had countless thirdgen F bods, time for a c4!
And great comment from you! My first brand new car was a 6th gen Camaro 2SS, right on😎 Incredible cars, all around. Had a 2021 LT1 as well, and have all the love for 3rd gens too, my dad got me into those young lol, great comment thanks 🤝 I think you'd be really like the 90 Corvette knowing your taste, special experience to own and drive. And thank you very much my friend
Beautiful C4. Never had an L98, but I drove some of my friends in local Corvette clubs, very strong from the bottom. I had all LT1s 92-96 in every color except yellow... ALWAYS loved the look of the yellows just never worked out, lol. My friends gave me a lot of grief because I traded them a lot. My favorite was a 95 Admiral Blue, it was faster than all of the rest, these cars vary pretty wildly in actual horsepower on the dyno, the Admiral was 319 bone stock. I had 2 black and a 96 LT4 silver collector was my last one with a bone stock horsepower of 344. Gm didnt want to spoil the release of the next gen 97 C5, they knew about the fluctuating HP especially in the LT4s and didn't want to spoil the C5 debut, but it got out pretty quickly when some LT4s were outrunning C5s on occasion in the stoplight grand prix on the street. C4s are my favorite value in a sports car, cant beat em there. Enjoyed the video.
Comments like this are my favorite part of this channel, good info and accurate 100% from someone who has had many C4's❤️🇺🇲 Those LT4's are animals lol. Had a good friend who had a lot to drink one night and I was the only one he'd let drive his 96 LT4, he told me go ahead and punch it, that motor is SO underrated haha, loved it. And thank you so much for your kindness, glad you liked the video:) I STILL haven't driven an LT1 Corvette but had a 94 Z28 with a 6 speed, love the torque curve, they pull hard to about 6k, you may have just talked me into getting an lt1 C4 hahaha, thanks again for the awesome comment, this is one of my favorites 🤝
I have a love hate with my C4. So fun yet so frustrating when something breaks. No shops by me want to work on them. Prices by me are way down. Yours looks nice
Thanks my friend, believe me I understand. Started out with an 84 that was beyond neglected by the previous owner, it didn't even make the journey home from purchase lol, that was an expensive tow I could barely afford.
I’ve heard shops don’t like to work on them. Part of it I get. It’s hard to diagnose issues when the OBD1 system doesn’t really help. Does the C5 have OBDII? I forget…. But still independent shops that know what they are doing should be able to work on them. I plan on doing a lot of the work myself.
@jimmerriman6920 I understand working on it yourself, it's always nice to know for sure it's done right. Yessir the C5 is OBD2, almost any car 1996+ will be:) They can be tricky to work on for sure, but that's awesome you're gonna work on your own, and it's satisfying, not to mention you save a small fortune, wouldn't be able to have the cars I've had if I didn't diy lol.
@jimmerriman6920 Sure do. The lt1 has a 4 bolt main too, as opposed to my l98 having a 2 bolt main, lt1 pulls harder to even higher rpm as well, great engine:)
looks great in yellow! I have a 90 quasar blue, 6sp manual trans, Z51 coupe, had 50k when got it in 2016, now 75k, value has about doubled since. Reliable with routine maintenance, biggest job was intake manifold gaskets due to oil leak. easy DIY car, all stock except I added dual exhaust with H-pipe into Corsas. not sure if mentioned.. but 90 is unique year with new interior and old body, this is missed even by C4 owners 90 is first year with a coolant reserve tank 90 first year air bag on driver side only, nice that your airbag is working as dash light goes off 5 seconds after starting engine, haha I was watching for that 90 wheels are 1 year only and the nicest C4 wheels except for 96 GS style 5 spoke 'A-molds' which I swapped in
Nice, I bet it sounds sweet. The 6 speed is a great ZF transmission, and that is also a great looking color, that has to be a rare combo as well. With you 100% on the only year with older exterior, newer interior, I just love that about the 90, love the wheels as well:) Definitely easier to work on then I first thought years ago, was kind of intimidating at first lol, and thank you very much by the way🤝
I recently purchased a 1991 medium quasar blue, 6sp. In very clean condition. I’m liking it more every day. Funny, I’ve got a 1977 Trans Am which is in the body shop…been in so long I bought the vette. I wonder how I’ll feel when I get the TA back..
I really like these, I am an SUV guy have a Tahoe and a Suburban lol but couple years ago I picked one of these up, I have me an 85, in Bronze, was a special dealer order or something I guess, it's an automatic but that's okay for me, but everything is original, 90K miles on it, really love the retro dashboard !
Nice, we had a 2003 GMC Yukon, LOVED that SUV lol, I feel you on those:) Yeah I'm also a big fan of the digital dash, sounds like a sweet Vette. A C4 is such a unique driving experience, like they're not how you imagined it just by looking at the outside of one, to me it's like driving a classic exotic car with a musclecar soul/sound.
My Tahoe is 2001, she's got 350K miles on it, I rolled it 6 years ago but still daily it. The suburban is 2003, The replacement after the crash, but I decided the Tahoe was my favorite still and kept them both. lol The Vette I picked up from some one he had 3, the 85 a 98 and 05. They were about to be auctioned off so i snagged the 85. I am not really a car kinda guy but the Vette is really nice. It's a definite change up from the riding style the big boats feel like for sure, and I'm probably going to hold onto it for a long time.
@NotableEcho Glad to hear you're keeping the Vette, and glad you're ok from the wreck too, wanted a Tahoe or Suburban after watching Clear and Present Danger long ago lol, darn things are tanks, comfortable and cool looking too, not to mention incredibly reliable!
@@Feral80sKid hey thanks, all is well actually, it did roll about 3 or 4 times? Who counts I guess lol but no the the only injury sustained was the pressure from the seatbelt left a mark. I picked it up from the tow yard and said I was going to bring it home that same day, he looked at me kinda funny and said ‘you know it’s totaled right?’ It was actually already salvage title so I said, Again? lol Ultimately there were some minor things that how now become permanent qwerks, but it doesn’t look like it was in a crash like it was. Absolutely love this thing, have taken down to Texas and back twice from Northern Minnesota, the burban too, they will literally run forever, best investment of my life probably lol
Wow, truly a testimony to how good those were built, no joke about a great investment. Sure wish I'd have kept the Yukon, they don't build stuff like that anymore:)
Really nice to see someone who loves their car! I've a 90 too, polo green but I wish the only issue I had was a flickering dash! I got it from Copart which gives you an idea how many things are wrong with it (everything). For some reason I started with the seats. Rebuilt the seat track gearbox, microsurgery on the seat switches, rebuilt the side bolster motor. Seat tracks rusted solid so had to free those. So now I can sit in comfort and imagine what it'll be like when it's fixed up. Look forward to seeing more of your Vette. Regards from across the pond.
Mate I've been there myself lol, had an 84 which was my first Corvette, feel your pain, total respect to you for doing it yourself, gotta start somewhere:) Thanks very much as well, so you have a 1990 in the UK??
@@Feral80sKid Yeah - one of the few - can't remember when I last saw one on the roads over here. Definitely worth saving! I've also got an 88 Iroc-Z with the 5.0TPI which I got when I was over in Germany. Working on that car gave me the confidence to tackle this one. I'll post a video of the Vette sometime........take care
@fm5480 Brother that is AWESOME, and you have some of the best country driving roads in the world, so cool. I haven't seen many, if any Polo Green 1990's even here, has to be pretty rare. Glad you are saving the car and fixing it up, cheers my friend! Love Irocs by the way, had an 89 350tpi, pretty rough but still a great driving car, black on grey.
Would love to see a vid of yours, and if you have questions we can share tips, love the Iroc Z, had an 89. You have some of the greatest country roads there I envy you! Just awesome
@@Feral80sKid I was lucky enough to spend some months in SFO in the early 2000's - you have some pretty epic roads over there too. We do have some good roads here - but I live up north - Let's say overheating isn't generally a problem 🥶😆 Here's a short of the IROC - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hsRttyRekRY.html hope it brings back some memories!
I also have a 1990 base. Mine has the ZF six speed which, don't get me wrong, I love but.....they are expensive to repair. Finding a replacement is a crap-shoot. I think you'll end up being happier knowing if your 700 R4 ever gives you problems, many GM vehicles from that era had the same transmission, people are very familiar with it and repairs should not be too bad.
My biggest issue with the C4 is ingress and egress for the car requires a bit of gymnastics which I currently can handle even into my 50s but it really makes the C4 more of a young persons car due to this. I think the sweet spot for the Corvette is the C5 and C6 which still remain relatively affordable so long as you steer clear of the specialty models. Those models are much easier to get in and out of plus they are modern while still feeling old school. The C7 is a great vehicle but feels less old school and the C8 is in a whole other stratosphere in terms of driving experience and price.
@@speedfiend925 Definitely a challenge getting in and out, especially without damaging the seats and steering wheel. But, all of us fanatics know the procedure. That being said, I don’t mind it as long as I’m still capable of doing it because once you’re in, it feels like you’re wearing the car instead of just sitting in it.
Richard Holdner said that the mid 90s lT1s could be converted back to a distributor on top rear by some modifications to the intake or just change it over to carbs
@@Feral80sKid - not under the seat, behind it in the cargo area. one of the bins got partially taken up by it. the other being completely taken up by the ABS system. It's in with the jack.
the 89 and 90’ vettes had those wheels. I have an 89 and it came originally with those wheels, Ended up putting them away and got A-mold replicas in a 11 rear 9.5 front. 285 front, 315 rear
I had an 89 Corvette, Z51 M6, good year. Wheels were very similar except 89's had centercaps, held on by a screw. Can't go wrong with the A-molds though. I wonder if some late 89's came with the later 1990 wheels?
Awesome, first time I drove a C4 it was an 86 with the 4+3, belonged to a good friend of mine, fell in love with C4's after that , super t10 with overdrive, LOVED the way it shifted.
Yeah, with a heavy heart. Don't wanna have to work until I'm too old to enjoy it so I invested the funds, hopefully all goes well and I can find one with fisher t tops and black interior this time, same blue exterior:) God I miss it already though
C4 has grown on me, prices are just right. Been looking at a GR Corolla and C6 Z.... but like you, I'd rather not be in debt. Want a fun car, think performance is good enough?
Great comment, I just sold the GR Corolla, loved it but not the price haha. Performance is definitely good enough in these, more so in the 92+ LT1, or even better the 1996 LT4, they pull hard and are underrated in horsepower, amd prices are way less for a clean example than the Corolla or C6, both of those are sweet cars too though. If you do get a 85-91 with the TPI they respond well to mods, hope that helps.
Dang, nice! The 7.0 liter 505hp, one of my favorites. Top Gear UK did a test on one around their track, they....and I was amazed at the cars it beat costing at least twice as much.
I've been on the fence about which gen corvette I wanted. Was suck between either a c3, c4, or a c5 because a c6 is still too expensive and this kind of nudged me into the c4 market a little harder due to the face that I didn't know that the c4 DIDN'T come with the LT1 with that god awful optispark before 91
I hear you, I do LOVE the lt1 and all but I just love the look of the tpi, really cool looking, and for sure a lot of things are easier to fix. I love all Vettes too but like you the C4 is just right for my budget, interest rates are ridiculous right now so I won't do a loan. There are really good deals sometimes on them too:)
I really wish I could get one of these, I absolutely love the C4. However, I'm 17, unemployed, and don't even have my license yet. I'm afraid once I get a job and a license that C4 prices will be through the roof :(
Used to pass a red C4 everyday on my way to high school every morning:) I hear you, you'd be surprised though, there's always a good deal on a C4. Once you get your license comment on here, I'll send you a link to one👍
Haha true, already have. Agreed, it's such a neat car:) Some things are tricky but mostly C4's haven't beat me up too bad to work on, just hated doing a heater core on an 88 Vette I had, didn't remove the dash just worked under it.
I would too lol, one of my favorite cars ever. Did a review on dad's 1990 ZR1 on the channel here, red on red 1990. We did muffler delete, k&n filter and Haibeck chip, awesome.
Haha, I always thought the same. There is definitely an air of exotic to look at and drive it:) Yeah I'd take a salvage one too if it was ok structurally 100%
Do you know what brand/model the windshield wiper blades should be? I bought wipers off of Rock Auto for my 1995 C4 and they are way too tall i.e. they hit the hood and chipped the paint. I'm not happy with Rock Auto there. They clearly need to be at least 3/8" shorter to clear the hood without damaging the paint.
As far as OEM I'm not sure sorry, but Rain-X makes some awesome ones, get the highest price ones, Rain X silicone, they are fantastic, and last forever, think they're about $60 for a set but so worth it. Advance Auto Parts carry them, or Ebay. OEM size calls for 19 inch both sides but if necessary get an inch shorter each, should be ok with 19's, have seen some sites say 20, that's probably the problem, too long I think.
I'm in the process of buying a '93 convertible w/ LT1 and the 6 speed ZF manual. Guess what color? Yellow over black, just like yours. Good luck with it. Let me know if you know some great used parts suppliers. There is a little chip in the passenger side front light bucket.
NICE, I love the ZF 6 speed in the C4, they shift so nice and smooth, and clutch feels perfect, congrats my friend, color combo definitely works for me:) As far as parts suppliers keep an eye out on Ebay and Facebook marketplace often, you'll be surprised, and Mirrock Corvette for used stuff. New parts are Corvette Central, Mid America etc., same to you, enjoy the ride!
@@Feral80sKid Thanks! I’ll let you know how the car is after the purchase later this week. I hope to have it in my garage a week from today. We'll see... ;-) Jim
A beautiful Vette and a good, informative video. Would you say these cars can still have genuine daily driver capability? I guess the mechanicals aren't a problem but what about the electrics and other things?
Hey thanks a lot, really appreciate it. Correct, mechanicals are pretty good and reliable if maintained etc., the electrics same besides the bose speakers or radio computer under dash, more people seem to have problems with the 84 as some didn't have GM's wiring harness recall completed. Also the digital dash in 84-89 could need rebuilt but batee.com can help you there unless you can solder yourself. You could daily one but not the easiest to get in and out of lol, headlight plastic gears will wear fast or break in cold winters with ice/snow if you have that where you are.
I use mine as a daily driver for the 8 months a year we don't have snow, and so far have only put rear wheel bearings on it ($120), and put about 20k miles a year on it for the last 10 years... tho I do know it'll likely need an optispark in the next couple years, I may have been lucky so far that I haven't had to put one on yet('95-'96 will last a lot longer before needing optispark replaced due to GM adding a vacuum vent hose to it for those 2 years), and the '95-'96 don't squeak or rattle due to GM adding more padding etc behind interior trim panels after complaints of trim noises in earlier years of C4's, and it is a huge difference, a massive difference in interior sweak and rattle noises, it would almost be hard to exaggerate the difference, my '95 is silent inside, my friends '91 is a symphony of rattles and squeaks....
Really thinking of adding the felt kit that the 95/96 has, does make a big difference you're right. Didn't know there was an actual hose to the vented opti, good info! That's awesome you drive it daily, life isn't easy but driving a C4 every day helps:)
@Feral80sKid I gotta be honest, but now that you mention it, since I haven't had to replace my optispark yet, I'm really not sure if that vacuum line is factory or if the previous owner added it, but it does look stock. I do know the previous owner added a hose to the underside of the waterpump so that if the weep hole leaks anything, it will come out the hose below the optispark. He threaded the weep hole and added a barbed fitting and hose to it. All I've added is a short looped cable to each hood release, the cables sit under the cowl and under the wipers, so if my hood release cable ever breaks I can unlatch each side by pulling the little looped cables I added, and won't have to fight thru the door jam with a long rod, or cur holes in the hood to get the latches to release... ..a lesson I learned before I got my car, from a friend that had his hood release cable break, and took us half a day to pop the latches by going past the door hinges with a 4 foot steel rod with a 90° bend on the end.... I highly recommend adding the back up hood release cables, that factory cable takes a fair bit of stress to release those two latches
Really good question, no. BUT, in this order or it could. With car off disconnect est wire from video, tan with black stripe. Start car let warm up to operating temp., adjust timing, shut off engine. Disconnect battery for 5 minutes, plug in est wire BEFORE re-attaching battery cables, do cables, start her up and enjoy:) Make sure to run 91+ octane after you do this..... 87 is 1 of my favorite years by the way, nice!
Thanks for the tip. I think I will try it. I just installed long tubes and x pipe last summer and it seemed to wake it up a little. Curious that this mod would do.
Nice, the LT1 has lots to be able to do. The cheap route is throttle body coolant bypass, K&N filter, remove spare tire/jack. Mild cam, heads etc would be next. Not sure on where the O2's are on a 95 but a front racing y-pipe helps. I'd start with a good tune up first if mileage is higher, plugs/wires, opti spark etc., go with synthetic oil, transmission fluid and rear diff fluid for a little bump in hp as well, if it's an automatic go with a TransGo shift kit, will shift nice and smooth driving normally but shift harder and quicker under full throttle, it'll also put a bit more power to the wheels.
I've done rear wheel bearings in the last 60k miles on my '95... that's it, nothing else has needed repaired and it has started every time I've turned the key since I got it in 2014. Doing only $120 of rear wheel bearings over 10 years seems quite reliable to me... and you could buy $30 bearings if ya wanted to, or spend $700 on them if yur wallet can handle it, or any price in-between if ya shop at Rockauto. It's even cheap on gas if ya don't spank it too hard (10.5 L/100klm (or around 27-29 mpg I think it is for the americans out there)) ..and insurance thru Hagerty is only about $200 a year if it's insured as a collector car and only gets driven to cars&coffee for weekend meets and not used as your daily driver...
Thank you. I purchased mine in 2021 for $17,000. It’s like getting it off the assembly line but I was very impressed with the condition of yours too. Good buy!
I have a white '95 that is about 80% perfect (needs weatherstripping as per usual), it is completely stock right own to original mufflers. I got it almost for free, cuz previous owner decided it was too difficult to get in and out of, after it sat for a year untouched in her garage cuz she broke her femur the day before it was delivered to her in canada from Arizona where it was bought... So far after nearly 100k kilometers (60k miles), I've put rear wheel bearings on it, and I'm about to change the fuel pump, everything else has been perfect, even the optispark it came with is still working fine without a miss(tho I know it's time will come sooner or later).. ..it's been about the most reliable daily driver I've ever had (from April to Oct, cuz it just won't move when there's snow on the ground, other than in circles). I'm betting their prices start going up real quick as gas cars are eliminated and replaced with electric cars that so far all just suck based on their high costs to buy, insure and repair, difficulty in repair, short ranges etc... Gotta admit, I'm a little jealous of the glovebox, the door armrest hubby's don't hold much, and the console barely holds the manual along with the Corvette logo'd pen and flashlight that came with it from the factory...(my flashlight works, but the pen does need a new ink cartridge due to drying out over nearly 30 years... I even still have the thick red gel letter kit for the back bumper that was never installed new in pkg(I figure the letters would just be a pain to work around when trying to wax the car, so they'll never be installed. I should probly sell them along with the clear blue tinted spare roof that I also will never use, cuz it turns the car into a greenhouse, raising interior temp by 10°-20° if there's sunshine).. Don't get the x brace for underneath the chassis, get the 2 bars that go on the outside of the frame rails and put tension on the rails. The X brace reduces ground clearance by nearly 3 inches, and the floor of the car is already close enuff to the ground...
Ah, yeah....I saw those bars you're talking about, thanks for reminding me, like the sound of those better, and people seem to like them. Theu sure look good in white too, my 84 was. Really appreciate the info, 95 is a great year too, along with the power. Not a fan of the electric upcoming "mandate" either, hopefully those clowns are all out of office one day soon.
Tinting a car is useless. And adds nothing to its worth. My vette has factory tint. And I love it. If your real cars get old. Tinting just makes it ghetto...dismissed.
