Default '84 Corvette Repaint

1984 Corvette repainted in Code 53 Gold Metallic by Allegheny County Customs in Penn Hills PA. They did a great job-original paint was just faded and cracked here and there.

I've always liked the gold color on C4's. One of the first C4's I drove at the dealership was a gold 84. Wouldn't mind having one. Thanks for sharing the pic. Looks like they did a great job!

The wheels on my '87 are AFS ZR-1 style wheels. They are 17x9.5 all around and have the early C4 38mm offset so no adapters are needed. AFS has these wheels in black powdercoat, silver powdercoat, polished, and chrome plated. You can find them on eBay; go there and search for AFS Corvette wheels. IIRC, they offer wheels alone and wheel and tire packages.
