I found a deal about 7 years ago on an 87 C4 as well, much worse than this but thank the starts I found a Mobile mechanic that was a hot rodder that had 1200hp camaro's and helped me a ton. He rewired the whole thing for next to free with marine wire, rebuilt the engine to 350hp with parts he had in his garage, had his own dyno to show me and did bigger throttle body, ported the engine, new ac, great new tranny with 3k stall that ran awesome, new carpet, new seats Kirkeys he sold me and it was 3 colors of primer perfect urban cammo and we went hunting. He taught the art of winning drag races and we won some cash then he took off for a professional racing try and lost touch. What a talent Larry was, Thanks Larry I had a blast!

Very cool video high quality! I have done a few C4s and man these things are always rigged together in the wiring department I feel ya lol

[ManfredEWhite]

Nice video. Your trouble shooting save you at least $500. That's one of things I like about C4's cheap & easy to maintain.

I've got the manual for my '89, and although there was no code, I went into the trouble shooting guide starting with driveability and the flowchart led me right to a test that had me disconnect the MAF sensor to see if it would run. It did. After a new MAF sensor it's running again.

Love the video! Wondering are you going to paint or you can put a vinyl wrap on it!

[SlimWhittman]

A wise old man once said the cheapest C4 will eventually be the most expensive to own.

Really, enjoyed your vette videos. I have exact same car. My issue with top is won't stay connected at the front. Back is fine, holding on with tape now, but loosens after a month or so. What size mounting hardware did yours take?

[spenceair]

My 85 had a toggles switch wired to it!! Why the hell is this always the fix instead of buying the damn relays!!!

[CaseTheCorvetteMan]

Those wheels are C5 wheels, not C4 wheels.

[albertpendergraff]

When you buy a Corvette it will have problems because they are fiberglass and they will leak because of the rubber is old and the leather will be cracked and if It was ever driven hard it will be more trouble

[rickdeckardbladerunner]

A good deal would be to pass on that Vette! Get one that is in the $6-7k range that really doesnt need much. Your time is money!

[albertpendergraff]

That has to be replaced if it's to bad
