Hello fellow Corvette owners,
Doing things backwards as I did post a question earlier without introducing myself.
I have worked on vettes for a numbers of years at different shops, never cared for them do due the tight work space. Then in 1984 the C4 was introduced I was hooked at that point in time. I could not afford one myself until the kids have grown and the offer to buy my neighbor's in '05. Since then I now have a second.
The first a '93 with the Z07 package, low miles 47K, and triple black. Car has Borla exhaust and factory ZR1 rear wheels and GS fender flares for the wider ZR1 wheels and a rear cross bar that my neighbor installed as he raced this vette alot in SCCA stock class. Other than that it remains as it came from the local dealer.
The second I picked up this year off ebay. A 1981 with 77K, needs alot of work, looks to have sat for approx. 10 -15 years and is missing alot of parts. It appears that someone started a resto. job then gave up. Intersting thing is most of the parts that came with the car are from the '73 -77 era.
Hope to gain more knowledge and share some if I can.
