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.
