New From N.C.
Hello guys, new here. I have at my shop a Red 90 model.
Its pretty rough, and looks like a theft recovery at some point in its life. The column is busted opposite the Ignition Key location. Typical 80's car thief type stuff. Customer says it ran when he parked it,LOL!!!!
I have ran the VIN and its still clean, so theres no telling what it has been through. I will post some pics, and will have plenty more questions in the future.

Thanks guys, for all the replies. This site is much livelier than the other corvette forum.
And it actually pops up in google searches.
I just built a 406 with Straubtech cam, lifter, and rocker combo and found lots of good info here on that. The thing runs amazing, and got my heavy truck down in the 12s.
I might be looking into buying this project Red C4 possibly, but I don't even know the value of one that had been neglected, and not in running condition like this one is.

You might want to continue your discussion in the car in the C4 sections of the forum. Members there should be able to help you with things like repair info and value of the car.
