I have my dad’s cool car (71 Buick GS) sitting and collecting dust under a cover and car port. Can’t afford to get it up and going with 2 youngsters and a stay at home wife. I hate it but I’m not getting rid of the last thing that has this kind of memories. 😢
My mother in law has an atv that belonged to her late husband and won’t part with it and let’s it sit out in the yard a go to waste. It’s all she has left of him so I totally understand. Everyone has their reasons. May not be the reason that makes sense to you but to them, it does.
Thats what I was hoping, getting tired of it myself! Did you see the most recent video? Changed it up in that one too. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ntZ-b8yXrEk.html
Nice Vid. A couple things to correct, 1. the doors are not metal. There are metal "crash bars" inside the door but the door is smc same as the rest, they never rust. There is a steel part under the seats. That is all. 2. The toggle switches you refer to do not post information to the right as you guessed. Rather they post information to the small center portion of the LCD dash. The screen you thought it posted to, is actually your "information center" aka idiot lights. and 3, that is a 1985 corvette not an 84. Cheers! Love the c4 content, they are crazy value cars. nice before and afters!
I was actually about to post the same thing, haha! I see there's another corvette lover here. Just so everyone knows, the 84 had a cross fire injection motor, while the 85 was switched to a tune port injected motor (L98). In 92 they switched the motor to the beefier LT1 motor (not to be confused with the current 1LT motor that is in the current c8s
Something is so peaceful about watching someone give the love and attention to a car that it deserves. I'm sure you treat your family with the same care. By the way, you look familiar!
Talk about finding a good detailing channel that has the right tunes for the right vehicle detail. Synthwave and a 80's/90's vehicle just go well together. Now those skills, God has blessed you. You really keep someone entertained with your capabilities, 10/10 highly recommend. Subbed🔥
I don't really think of myself as a car enthusiast, but I definitely have a soft spot for Corvettes. (I attribute it to having one for my Barbies back when I was a kid - I think the good memories associated with playtime kind of bled into an association with the vehicle itself, lol.) So that makes this before/after particularly enjoyable for me. Even if it's not perfect, it still looks amazing compared to what it was at the beginning of the detail.
The center of the dash “screen” you are referring to is actually where all the warning lights are, all the toggle switches give you all that info in the center section of the gauge cluster
@@StaufferGarage definitely understandable if you’ve never seen the interior of these cars before, just trying to clarify what it actually was, definitely was a great transformation… I’m a sucker for the Gotti wheels
This video was pleasure to watch. My favorite car brand/type and great music on the background. Such stylish and contemporary for C4's era. Wonderful work. Greetings from Czech Republic
Corvette C4 is one of the last sports car bargains out there. Tons to choose frorm, but be selective, as many were ridden hard and put away wet. Stick shift car...great find!
Great job. Looked like the carpet was great quality with a nice pile so I bet it was actually enjoyable to get cleaned. Yeah that paint is gonna need some work to bring back or maybe even be redone.
Actually, the four or five selector switches on the center panel change what is displayed on the main instrument cluster just above the speedometer, gauge and gas gauge. Not on the center screen.
Hello, I do value that you do the cars for free, your time and commitment is not free, being you could be doing something else. I like the video but I would have love seeing you wet sand and complete the paint restoration process. Would have loved to see that car glisten. Thanks and I hope I wasn’t that negative.
Not at all, owner had plans for the paint and said give it a go but don’t go crazy. My content pays the bills so that’s why doing it for free works out
Maybe it's the car, maybe it's the music! The '80s era came straight in my head watching your video. For some funny reason my mind went "Bon Jovi" straight away :)
Great find Mr. Stauffer! I have a long list of my favorite Corvettes, but the 1998 is not on that list. Thank goodness GM hired the right people to resurrect the brand!!
Great job but as the owner of an '87 Vette I would NEVER powerwash my unprotected engine compartment! There is a LOT of electronics that you could easily fry.
Man I love c4s with big wings. It makes the car (to me) look so much better. I've been debating on putting one on my c5. But nothing I've found looks like it belongs on the car.
Good morning everyone! Dude, awesome car. I love it! I finally got a break in the weather today for a few hours and I've got to get the wife's car done. Had to watch your vid to get motivated rite quick! TY sir!
There are hundreds and thousands of C4's. That said, it kills me to see any abandoned. I just restored my 87 C4. It is a beauty and priced tens of thousands under the competition. As for the seats, there is a simple wire lever that you push up on an the lower cushion pops out for easy access w/o having to unbolt the frame. C4's Rock!
Corvettes were a popular car with Pilots and Astronauts alike. I think the C4 paid homage to those particular buyers since it was just a thing back in the day.
Hi @Stauffer Garage, I love your videos, I don't know why but I always feel relaxed watching it. You really do a great job, congratulations. I would love to do this kinda work but in my country, especially in my city, the investment is too high and the profit too low. Cheers from Brazil and sorry about my poor english, may God bless you and your family.
That's so sad to let a beautiful black C4 sit and rot like that. It's a piece of American automotive history! I would LOVE to own this car. I would drive it every day too.
The toggle switches are for the instrument panel the other is the information panel above the radio when door, hatch are open and check engine light stuff like that.
The switches for oil temp ect do not show up on the small screen. The are on the gauge cluster. The small screen is where the check engine light brake light ect is.
Just some corrections - the doors are fiberglass skinned & all the display switches in the Centre console activate display options in the driver’s dash not the Centre. The Centre is an information display the car will initiate if there is a problem such as service engine soon light.
I appreciate all the hard work but this car needs more than a good washing as it's in really rough shape. I would have taken all the carpeting out and replaced it. The floor mats I would have replaced as well. I would have tossed that dash mat thing too. The drivers side door panel with the screws in the armrest says a lot about the overall condition.
As a previous owner of an '84, I can confidently say that this aint one. '84 was crossfire with throttle body fuel injection. This Vette has tuned port injection, available '85 - '92. Although under powered the car handled like it was on rails and more than once was mistaken for a Ferrari in the '80s. Car literally stopped traffic a toll booths with attendants coming out to get a better look. Now C4's are one of the most undervalued and underappreciated Vettes. I sold mine to a hot rod builder who wanted the Z51 suspension. Complete car, $1600. Sheesh
