Hi All,

Just joined and looking forward to discussions about Corvettes. I have a 1984 (37K original miles) that has been garaged for about 7 years and looking for some tips as to what to consider before I fire it up. I plan on selling the car once I get it started and running good. Any inputs will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill

Welcome to the Forum, Bill!
There's a great C4 section within the Forum. I'm sure there are others there who have freshened up a C4 for sale and can offer you great advice. Best wishes with your efforts.

I searched the C4 forum extensively and did not see anything on the the subject. Could be I'm not entering the right search words but will keep trying. I did however start a new post about my situation. Thanks again for your input and a pleasure meeting you.
