Well another reader (long time reader) has gone where few dare to tread. Yes I’m talking a Ford car guy, a Thunderbird owner and former owner of a very cool Mercury Cougar wagon, is now a proud owner of a 1990 C4 Corvette!!!!
It’s a great looking Steve!!!!!!
Steve’s White C4
It’s in great shape and I am liking the wheels!!!
I’m sharing this Steve!!!!
Tim,
As a Ford guy I guess I’ve come over to the dark side.
I bought a 1990 standard Corvette with all the sporty stuff. Seats, suspension and all the electronic gizmos.
Super well cared for condition with all maintenance history since new. I does have a worn right muffler cushion.
Last evening was my first ride ever in a Corvette and of course I was driving. Rides rougher than a cob on a rough road as expected.
It also makes all the cool dual exhaust music. Two tops, one glass and more switches and gauges than I’ve ever seen before. No deterioration of the
interior or paint so it must have been garaged. It also has a fine sounding Bose system which was standard I think.
I did find a 1/8″ chip on the drivers front fender.
Yup, I’m on the dark side and was wooed by the devil himself to get me in a Chevy…..
We have some streets in various stages of reverting to dirt here. Some very rough streets. The right muffle mount is collapsed (rubber) so it rattles. Roof panel does not rattle at all.
It’s in quite good condition for 22 years old. No interior or exterior work required.
It runs sooooo good. I think it may have never been driven in the rain. Underneath looks new, no tarnishing of the aluminum suspension bits.
The PO provided replacement “dew wipes” for the doors and a new power antenna that’s to replace the one that is stuck up. Please don’t tell me I have to remove the rear fascia to replace the antenna. LOL.
I did manage to scare myself a bit last Saturday. I’m not used to a posi-trac rear end…Ha Ha. Just a little sideways. It sure accelerates quicker than expected for only 245 horses. I’m averaging high 17’s around town which actually is unexpected. I guess the trick is 345 lbft or torque……..”
Thanks for sharing your Vette Steve…..NOW LETS TALK ABOUT SOME MODs!!!
Thanks for reading.

Thanks Bill,
I like it.
CONGRATS. My favorite Corvettes are C4s, and my dream car would be a low mileage, 50th anniverasry 1993 convertible.
Similar to you, I have owned only MOPARs and a few Fords. My on eand only GM ownership experience was pretty bad with a 2001 Impala, but I would own a C4 in a heartbeat.
Eventhough I love my 2012 Mustang Convertible, if the wife agreed to it, I would be in a C4 right now.
Good Luck with your car, and ENJOY!
