Hello gentlemen,
It's a 1985 4+3 with 67k miles/108k kms. Its in decent shape. This is my 2nd Corvette. I took it home for $5000.
I'm 23, and never had a stick shift before, so this is my learner car.
Hope it survives the lessons!
Found this car for sale locally, and bought it after asking about it in this thread.

I like the Color, Sliver Biege, and the seats are just like mine as well and i have a 86.
Wow You can really see how small the C4 looks compared to the C3.

Yes sir 
. She doesn't shine like she did in the 80s though.
I probably need to post a new thread for this one, but I found out why the hatch switches don't work.
No fuse. Tried to replace the fuse, but there are no terminals! I think I need to get behind the fuse panel to take a look around. What's the easiest way to get back there?

there is no easy way to access the rear of the fuse panel. you will have to remove the upper dash pad to gain access to some of the bread box nuts and the rest are accessed from under the dash. the bread box needs to come out before the lower carpeted dash panel comes out, allowing some access to the wiring.

But, I am not getting any power to the hatch relay, which is a single orange wire that's supposed to go back to the fuse panel and protected by the RR Hatch fuse.
Does anyone know where this orange hatch relay wire is run?

Turns out the fuse was bad. It looks fine to me though. Good thing I tried another fuse before tearing everything up.
Now, 2 out of 3 switches work. Console and passenger door switches are fine, driver door switch does not open the hatch. I will have to take the door panel off and figure out whats going on back there.
But that will be for another day. I'm just glad I don't have to bother with that manual release cord anymore.
The bad fuse that looks fine.
