1984 Chevrolet Corvette 4+3 MANUAL BLACK ON BLACK

1984 Chevrolet Corvette C4 Z51 Description

SO I AM A RETIRED MECHANIC AND BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR A PROJECT CAR TO KEEP ME BUSY. I BOUGHT IT IN CONNECTICUT AND IT WAS A MESS. I RENTED A GARAGE AND TORE THE CAR DOWN. I REPLACED SO MANY PARTS ITS HARD TO REMEMBER BUT I WILL DO THE BEST I CAN, I HAVE A LIST SOMEWHERE. I WILL START WITH WHAT IT NEEDS. IT NEEDS AN AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR. I REPLACED THE DRYER AND HAD IT CHARGED UP IT WAS ICE COLD BUT FREON LEAK OUT BECAUSE EVAP HAS A LEAK AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT, SO NO A/C. THE OVERDRIVE FOR THE 4+3 DOES NOT WORK BUT THE 4 SPEED WORKS FINE. I PUT 17,000 MILES ON THE CAR DROVE IT ALL OVER THE PLACE AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. THE CLUTCH IS FINE NO PROBLEMS NO SLIPAGE WHATS SO EVER. COULD USE A NEW CARPET ON THE FLOOR. THE INTERIOR IS DECENT AND THE BODY TOO. THE USUAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE CAR LOOKS AND DRIVES NICE. IT'S NOT A SHOWROOM FLOOR CAR, IT'S A DRIVER. I GET LOTS OF COMPLIMENTS AND ALWAYS TURNS HEADS. SOUNDS LIKE IT SHOULD FOR A VETTE. OK HERE'S THE LIST OF THINGS I REPLACED. I INSTALLED A NEW RENIGADE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT MADE. THIS CAR HAD A RESTRICTED INTAKE ON IT AND SO IT WASN'T AT IT'S FULL POTENTIAL. IT ALWAYS SOUNDED TO ME LIKE IT WAS STARVING FOR AIR AND IT WAS. IT IS A CROSSFIRE ENGINE AND ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE A BAD RAP THIS ONE RUNS PERFECT WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. ALL IT NEEDED WAS SOME INCREASED AIR FLOW AND NOW IT HAS THAT. IT RUNS AWESOME I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE UPGRADE. THE WHEELS ARE 18" IN REAR AND 17" IN FRONT PLUS IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS ARE I THINK 1991 OR 1992 SO I LOOKS LIKE A C5 CORVETTE. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS REPLACED INCLUDING THE CAT CONVERTER. THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED WITH HIGH PERFORMANCE ALUMINIM 3 CORE RADIATOR SO WAS THE THERMOSTAT AND THE OIL COOLER LINES ALL NEW. RUNS COOL NO PROBLEMS AND I HOOK AN OVERIDE SWITCH JUST IN CASE I NEEDED IT NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. I REPLACED THE WHEELS AND TIRES PLENTY OF MEAT LEFT ON THEM I DON'T DO BURNOUTS I NEVER ABUSED THE CAR BUT ON THE HIGHWAY I AM GUILTY OF OPENING IT UP AND IT GOES BELIVE ME, IT'S ROCK SOLID I WOULD DRIVE IT ANYWHERE IF YOU HAVE THE GAS MONEY. THE BRAKES WHERE REPLACED WITH DRILLED AND SLOTTED ROTORS AND CERAMIC PADS. I REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION(THE STEERING GEAR). POWER STEERING PUMP, MASTEER CYLINDER AND SLAVE CYLINDER WERE REPLACED ALOND WITH THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. NEW DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND ROTOR PLUS WIRES HIGH OUTPUT COIL, AIR FILTER AND SPARK PLUGS ALTHOUGH I THINK I WOULD REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS AS THEY HAVE AROUND 10,000 MILES ON THEM. DOE'S NOT BURN ANY OIL AT ALL. VALVE COVERS WERE REPLACED ALSO TO EDELBROK VALVE COVERS SEE PHOTO'S. ALL THE COOLANT HOSES WERE REPLACED AND NEW ANTI-FREEZE. A NEW KENWOOD CD STEREO AND SPEAKERS INSTALLED SEE PHOTOS. IT HAS A REMOVABLE STEERING WHEEL AND COLOMN LOCK SO THE ONLY WAY TO STEAL THIS CAR IS WITH A FLATBED TOW TRUCK. YOU CANT DRIVE IT WITH NO STEERING WHEEL. PLUS THERE'S A CUT OFF SWITCH IN IT SO YOU ARENT GONNA JUMP THE IGNITION AND START IT. I PUT NEW SEAT COVERS, A DASH PA, BREAD BOX AND FLOOR MATS. THE DIGITAL CLUSTER WORKS GREAT AND THE INFOMATION CENTER BUT THE DIGITAL CLUSTER WILL NEED 2 NEW TINTED LENS AS THEY FADE WITH AGE. THEY CAN BE FOUND ON EBAY FOR A VERY RESONABLE PRICE AND IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL TO REPLACE THEM. MATTER OF FACT ALL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS CAR ON LINE.. SO THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN SEE THE SPEEDO AND RPM READING IS WITH SUN GLASSES ON. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR 16,000 MILES IN 7 YEARS SO IT IS JUST A SUMMER THING FOR ME AND THE I HAVE STORED THE CAR INDOORS FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS. I NO LONGER HAVE A GARAGE OR THE MONEY TO TAKE THIS CAR ANY FURTHER, I WENT AS FAR AS I CAN GO WITH IT. I HATE TO SELL IT BUT I DONT WANT TO PAY ANYMORE STORAGE FEES. I LOST MY HOUSE AND NOW LIVE IN A GARDEN APARTMENT COMPLEX AND I DONT EVEN LIKE IT OUTSIDE. I HAVE NO MORE MONEY TO SPEND ON IT. ONE RIDE IN THIS CAR AND YOU WILL BE HOOKED I PROMISE YOU. I HAVE SOME MISC. PARTS AND PIECES THAT GO WITH IT. WELL I AM GONNA STOP HERE I KNOW THERE IS MORE WORK WENT INTO IT BUT IT IS A RUNNER AND NOT A DOG. WANT TO SEE IT OR NEED MORE INFO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. . SERIOUS INQUIRE. BEST OFFER CONCIDERED DON'T MISS OUT ON A GOOD CAR. WHY START FROM THE BOTTOM BY GETTING SOMETHING THAT NEEDS EVERYTHING REPLACED WHEN YOU CAN GET THIS ONE THAT HAD MOST ALL OF IT DONE ALREADY. THIS CAR IS NOT A JUNK BOX. GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND STAY SAFE. NO DELIVERY PICK UP ONLY BUYER TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE. IT'S CASH AND CARRY I HAVE A CLEAN TITLE IN HAND.
