Hi Guys,
Some of you my know me, But I am here because i have a corvette addiction!
I already have a 1980 black C3 and a 1994 Polo Green C4. Well thursday when I was on my way to fun fest I found a 1985 Red C4 for sale, and long story short it followed me home....LOL
for a 29 yr old corvette...
When production was moved from St.Louis to Bowling Green, they did not ship a beat, no loss of any production at all as for one month both plants were producing the corvette. the only year the was "skipped" was 83 and the plants moved in 1981. The reason the 83 never made production was quality...
Keep up the search, the right one will come. I got my 1980 in Jan of this year and love it! She spoke to me when I first saw her, and in my head I knew this was the one.

I am late to this thread, but car is still on ebay. The one thing I noticed is the CA plate on the car. a 1980 should have the blue with yellow numbers. so this car was not kept in CA the whole time, because in CA the plate stays with the car. SO I am willing to bet it is alot more miles on this...
Hi Guys,
I have done business with this shop, and I had a rather good experience there. I dealt with the owner Dan and he helped me out greatly, gave me a very good deal on the work I had done. It took a bit longer than I had planned, but the work and the price was great.
They put new trailing...
I have a 80, the speedo was the 85 mph, but if i recall some of the late 79 productoins got the 85 mph speedo when gm ran out of the old ones. the 80 i have is a early 80, built in Oct 79 and only has oil pressure no oil temp gauge. It does has the alum rear end on it.
I would say one of the...
Hey its great to have a few more 1980's corvettes here! I have had my 80 fo over six months now. During the first 3 months I had to do a lot with the car, new trailing arms and wheel bearings, new Rear end, new shocks on the rear, new leaf spring, new windshield wiper motor, new water pump. but...
Hi Kenny,
Those were taken out at Busch wildlife area in St.Charles county.
Depending on the weather next Thursday I am going to be running out to IL and a lake over there, I will have Camera handy again:thumb
Mike.
The weather here sucked bad last night, big thunderstorms. I dont have a garage to park the Vette in and about midnight it started hailing:ugh All I could do was pray that it would not get any worse. Dime and Nickel sized hail, Thank goodness there is no damage:thumb
Mike.
Finding the spot was the easy part, dealing with the gravel road and dust to get the pics was the hard part. you should have seen her when I got home, she looked off white. Needless to say I went right to the car wash.:boogie

I have a 1980, I think it is pretty well set up the same, I have no issue getting to my Power steering cap. The belt I have was bought at advance auto, it is a Dayco top cog #15360.
Hope that helps.

Well I got the belt changed out, alignment of the pulleys are right on. The Auto parts store replaced the belt for free since belt had 1 year warrenty. So I will keep close eye on the belt. I also had to tighten up some of my Header bolts while I was in there turning wrenches. LOL a few were...
LOL well I was off base this time, I just assumed that it had loosened up again, about two weeks ago I had to tighten it up. so I did not think about it too much was planning on getting new belt this morn. opened the hood this morn and found a shredded belt in corner of engine compartment.
Mike.
Anybody ever have this issue?
about a month after buying my 1980 I had to put a new Alt belt on the car because the one it had, was way too loose. Now a month later it seems that belt has stretched out and has become too loose, to where it is effecting the alt charging the Battery. And yes I...
