Well howdy y’all. I’m not a Corvette owner yet but could be by tomorrow. I have a friend in need that desperately needs to sell his C4 Vette this month and if it doesn’t sell it will be me buying it to help him out. I look forward to learning all about this Chevy in the months to come.



1989 2 owner car. Fun fact about this car: first owner was an Eckler Corvette executive.

Welcome to the forum! Great that you're willing to help your friend out like that - plus it's great that you step into a Corvette!

Thank you. I really wanted in my lifetime a 1990 ZR1. I’m wondering how the heck I can make 1990 ZR1 wheels fit on the rear with that goofy offset they had.

Roger that. I’ve seen it done. The mods will check and make sure that you’ve followed the rules as they are set out. Good luck. ( or, you could just buy it and skip all the red tape!)

Thank you. I like his car but if I’m going to buy a classic C4 of my choosing it’s going to be a 1990 ZR1. The 1st king of the hill! I’m really drooling over the black one in the classified section now with the blue interior…I think we’re at the historic tipping point for the value of those cars and now is the time.
