As much as the early c4 get bad mouthed in this forum .It's a wonder that they are not going for less. I owned allot of cars . I remember that they all had problems and bad designs. I have owned my 84 for six years. Only time it left me on the road side .Was when it run out of gas.:o . If you drive down the road and see a older focus for sale for $5000.Don't offer me $3500 for my vete. Buy the focus.

Fair enough.

The way I see it, the early C4s are better for modifications. Couple the L98 with virtually unlimited mods as most states only inspect with visuals, and you have the ultimate street machine. Once the LT1 dropped into the scene, the emissions garbage started to limit what they could do with it.

I have an 86, and the only smack that is talked about it is that it needs a paint job - bad.

PS: I know the OP owns a crossfire, but I am generalizing with the "early" c4 crowd, and crossfires can also put out a punch if modded correctly.

Only by a few, as long as it says CORVETTE on the rear, it's OK

Rip on mine all you want, or better buy it and rip it apart if you hate that much

You should hear the comments I get with my '96 with a carb and powerglide.

Many (especially older model) C4s are already less than that $5000 Focus in case you haven't noticed.

I like the 84s, they are every bit as nice looking as a 96 and handle great thanks to the Z51 suspension that was installed on most of them.

The 84 has got the bad rap that will never go away but the truth is there are far more problems with the L98-LT1 cars then a CrossFire car ever had,there were no problems with the 84s as far as reliability issues go.You get people talking $hit about the cars that have never even touched one.One a positive note there are some clean low mileage 84s out there at some good prices.I had one for 22 years and never had a problem with the car that was 84 related but as far as the 84 stigma goes it will never go away as long as you got jerkoffs feeding the fire.Id buy another on in a heartbeat if it wasnt built with so many junk parts.

The 1984 Corvettes were sweet. They set the standard and
raised the bar.

Thanks guys! it's nice to hear good comments. It's a vette ! Let's hear it for the American sport car !!!

Corvette505

the only reason the 84 gets a rip is cuz it was the 1st year of the new model, the transition year....but i'd take a vette over any other car anyday

Come on now, what would you really have? A ford focus or this.

vetteracer92

I only bought my vette for compensation
I think the older engines look better, there is nothing wrong with older c4's except the steering wheel looks a little odd.

edlakesider

A vette! I'll take any vette . Your vette makes us early c4 guys proud

edlakesider

Next time they have a focus car show. You can take your $5000 focus. Oh wait, they don't have focus car shows

You can park it in my driveway anytime and leave the keys in..

Why exactly did you start this thread? Did you try to sell and only got offered $3500?
