Hi guys and gals

Names Dru Came here because i'm interested in finally buying a C4 vette. Don't know a lot about these cars. so my first big question is when looking at then what are the key things to look for?

Ideally I would like to buy a as is or project C4 and fix it up (i have done this with all my vehicles and i'm very mechanically inclined used to work as a auto tech)

my current project is a 84 C35 3+3 DRW and i love it but a vette is calling my name.

day I bought it


less than a year later
