Finally, my first Vette!!
Hello to all,
I'm new to this forum and have always wanted a Corvette and recently came across a 1984 C4 with 160k miles on it for a great price. The interior and weather seals needs to be restored and is in bad need of a paint job amongst a few other things. Lol
I'm looking forward to the restore process and learning the car inside and out and maybe doing a few engine mods as well.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on getting your '84.
The third Vette I owned was an '84 - torch red, torch red interior and a 4+3 manual tranny.
