Hello all:
Completely new to the Corvette world, as I came across agreat opportunity to join in the fun of ownership, so bear with me as I learn andpoke my way around the forum and the quirks. Have dealt mostly with vintage aircooled vintage and motorcycles.
Picked up a 1986 Black C4 in good condition but has beensitting in a barn for 5 years. It runs (after changing all the fluids and cleaning/replacingof the fuel system) but not quite ready to go around the block yet. I’ve heardand experienced the pains of a “good deal” vehicle in the past so I know what I’mgetting in to but must admit I’m super excited to get one back on the road andenjoy the fun and woes of Corvette ownership.

Does your Dad still have the original wheels and hub caps? Particularly the wheels.
