I just bought this car a month or so ago.
I know a lot of people don't like the C4 but I grew up in the 80s, love these cars.
It needs a little bit of work but it's in decent shape for a 31 year old car.

HI Folks,
I finally filled my bucket list!! I bought a '63 Rdstr! Pretty much stock overall. She sports a 327ci / 340hp / 4 barrel AFB / Stock side exhaust / Riverside Red, Blk Int.
She has some electrical gremlins ( Charging Problem) but will be looked @ very soon. Battery, Alt. is good but will not hold a charge?? Maybe "Voltage Regulator"???
I'm also looking to buy a stock rim to use as a spare. It need not be pretty, but solid, no cracks etc would be great.
I'll post a pic or 2 a bit later.
Regards, Russ

Welcome to the Forum, Eddie!
I drove an '86 as a daily driver for many years and tons of miles. I'm sure you'll enjoy yours.
