Hi,
I previously owned 2 different 79s. First was a white on red with factory spoilers. Nice compliment to my dad's 79 baby blue on blue. Loved that car. Even had Tommy Morrison do some work on it. Alas it lost a fight with a deer
Later owned a white on black. Sold it and slowly regressed in time to a 69 Camaro, and then a 54 Belair. Last few year it's been Japanese sports cars.
Current DD is a Toyota MR2. A great way to get 30 mpg while commuting.
Anyway, I've always had a thing for the looks of the C4s. particularly 84-89s. So I'm looking for one now.
Having never owned a generation 4, dad skipped it and bought a C5, I'll be reading a lot and probably asking some dumb questions.

Hope you find an excellent example of the C4 to purchase. You may want to spend a lot of time in the C4 sections to learn as much about that generation as possible before buying one.
