Default Back in a C4

I haven't had one in a long time and picked up a 95, its a 6sp. with 68k on it. I'm going to change all the fluids and do the belts and hoses. It also needs a round of tires, they're old, so that will be first. I'm not sure if the chrome wheels will stay or not. The driver side headlight has a slight wiggle when turned off and the antenna doesn't quite go all the way down. A few things to keep me busy this winter. It could also use a wash and wax. Here's some pics.

Beautiful. Imo, the chrome wheels are cool, Had them on my 92 black rose, but trading them up for some nicely painted satin black magnesiums look soo much better on a black car. very stealth. Not flat black wheels, not gloss black wheels, but satin black.

Cool car, awesome with the tan interior.

Welcome back, the wheels look good, I would leave them alone for now, and focus on other issues that might come your way.

Thanks. The wheels will most likely stay, but the 14 year old rubber is going. The heater hoses are dated 1994, they're gone along with the others. I have a bid on some fsm's now. I'll be looking forward to the spring.

Looks very nice! I also like that tan interior.
Ref the tires, I really like the BFG G-Force I just purchased this past summer. Excellent grip and cornering. I have the Z51 package in mine and I gave the car a good run through the twisties here in the mountains with no 'squealing' or breaking loose. Very impressive without killing the wallet.

Nice looking Corvette! I'm not a huge fan of chrome, but I would leave the wheels alone unless they have issues.

Great looking ride.

Recently put on a set of Conti Extremes on my '90. Good ride and handling. Out the door for about $650.

Very nice! I have owned two 1995 LT1 6-speed coupes and they have both been fantastic. Wishing you lots of miles... and smiles!

I know where you're going with that and I think you're right.
