Default 1984 corvette owner here

Hey all. New to your site... by the way its WAYYY better then any of the mustang forums i was apart of previously.

I AM A PROUD OWNER OF MY SECOND 1984 (YES CROSSFIRE INTAKE) CORVETTE! =D

My first was when i was 16 it was my first car. ended up putting in a 383 stroker and as many bells & whistles you can to a crossfire... I made the mistake of selling it for a 25th anny. Mustang =/

Here are some pics








I sold it to some A**hole of a guy who a few weeks later turned it into this




I have always wanted another 84 vette... Now i got another one! I purchased it for 1500 bucks from a guy whos house i pass every day home from work/school. It had been on a none opp for 12 years before i got it 2 months ago. I started like it was brand new! took it to a test only place and passed with flying colors! no tune up or oil change had been done... No pics yet i am kinda ashamed about its looks (CLEAN BODY JUST NEEDS A BIT OF ELBOW GREASE...) its white with tan leather interior. and has had a more recent GM trans put in with a 13 or 14 spline oil something or other... but its still under warrenty =D

Welcome to the Forum and congratulations Hey don't worry about how it looks, there guys on the forum that have taken a vette that someone turned into a pile of crap and they brought them back. Be sure to take a lot of pictures of it now before you start and as you work on it so you have the before and after, later you'll be glad you did. Good luck
