Got up early today and had a fun time taking pictures around town.
Zip ties underneath were done by previous owner. Yuck, it's on the list.
The flash makes the gray areas (leather polish to hide the cracks) look more noticeable than they are in person.
Just took this so I could look up the model # to change the color to blue. It was lighting up red when I got it.
A lot of small paint issues on the front end.
Would like to replace these
It could be worse...
Center console is ugly and cracked. Seats are rough but I think they're comfortable to sit in. Previous owner smoked so the air freshener stays for now. It's not too noticeable after cleaning everything so I think any undesirable odor will go away soon enough.
Congrats. Looks like you have a number of little things that will need to be taken care of (eventually). I didn't see where things like mileage or mechanical condition were noted, but assuming they're good nothing I se would scare me off.
Looks like either it's the photo or the panel on the passenger side behind the front wheel is damaged. You should be able to find a replacement.
Congrats, always have liked AB. Will never forget seeing the color for the first time on a new C4 back in the fall of 1993 on my way to work one morning.
Looks good! I especially like the chrome wheels. Are the calipers blue as well?
I think the rims are C6? The previous owner painted the calipers blue. It looks...eh...good enough to not mess with it. I'd appreciate any info as I'm new to Corvettes, but I've been reading a lot on this site to try to learn as much as I can.

It has 170,000 miles on it, but I don't mind that. It seems to run well enough and the repair shop seemed to think it was in good condition. I think it's road ready for now, but still a lot of little things to do. The damaged area is on the passenger side, but those funny looking areas of white are over a few of the wheel areas. Would the Dr. Colorchip touch up stuff work for those areas of white? I'm not looking for perfect and the previous owner said some body shop could fix all of it for about $800, paint/body/everything it needed. Thoughts?

I think so. If I really dive in, I could probably knock almost all of it out before snow falls.
Funny thing, I saw another thread about funny/stupid/ridiculous comments and how people often mistake C4's for being 2000's and newer. I had two people yesterday ask if it was a 2001 or 2002. I think another guy thought I repainted the car because he didn't remember this shade of blue being on a Corvette. The new car plate sure makes people social about cars.

What's the little wind deflector(?) thing just above the windshield on yours?
Also, it's kinda hard to find good pictures in the archives/search results here since a lot of them are dead photobucket links. Where's a good place to find some pictures of either OEM or modded interiors for admiral blue C4's? About the best I've found have been old sales threads.

Got it from Eckler's (other Corvette stores sell them) for about $140. Bolts in where the targa panel goes, takes about a minute to install/remove. Makes a huge difference in turbulence and wind noise from the top. Well worth every penny.
Congrats and welcome! Love the Admiral Blue color!
You say that the PO had a quote to fix all the bits and paint for $800? Honestly I'd just do that....... Sounds super reasonable IMO. Chances are it'll match better than whatever paint chip stuff you are going to put onto it and if something needs replaced they can do it. That's just my .02 though.
If you run into anything you aren't sure about, or want a local opinion on something PM me, I'm from Indianapolis also and have done a lot of little repairs to my cars over the last couple years. So I can either recommend a place or I can tell you about my experience doing something myself.
