Have been a user of the forum off and on for years for info, now I have a couple of C4’s so I need to search more deeply and maybe ask questions. I have been turning wrenches for over 30 years. Worked at the Chevy dealer in the 90’s and swore off corvettes because of how much of a pain they are to work on. Well, fast forward 30 years and I bought a neglected 95 convertible. Was gonna flip it, but it’s too much fun to drive, so it’s a run around town car to keep miles off my truck (I know, backwards from everyone else). Now I (probably mistakenly) bought a second C4 LT4 that I had to rescue. This thing is a basket case. It’s gonna take a lot of beer to fix this one. I may start a build thread on this one, we will see. Anyways, pictures

Welcome, Russell. It appears you have been bitten by the Corvette bug and are now fully infected! Enjoy bringing those babies back to the way they should be.

it’s really hard to pass up a c4 right now. More performance than most people can actually handle, plus they are not really “classics” yet or modern, like most people want. They are in that forgotten middle ground that makes them very inexpensive for what you are getting.

I have autocrossed the red one a few times now and the wife took her “rookie school” in it. The thing just performs being stock with decent tires.
