Intro

Hello All! My fiance and I own a 1985 C4 Corvette. We bought it from a close friend who didn't have it long enough to get through all the bugs. My fiance and I both grew up as gearheads or motorheads which ever you want to say. We have been working out all the bugs from day one. It seems like the more we fit the more we find wrong. Over the winter we did a complete rebuild. We have never owned a corvette before and yes there has been a lot of times I have just wanted to be done with it. I read a lot of things on this forum so I'm hoping you all can help me out when I just get to the end of my rope with this car. Nice to meet you all!

Welcome. Your 1985 C4 Corvette is a great color. I would probably like to get one myself. I found https://boss-revolution.pissedconsum...r-service.html and maybe I'll go and ask about financing. I have a pretty good amount saved up and maybe if I get financing I can buy one like that.

Time to link up and make another close Corvette friend who is local to you and who can make a deal to help get it all fixed up and ready to go for you... Try posting up in your local regional section to see if you can find a buddy or two...
