I agree with you 100% that the C4 generation did not receive the love it deserved. Happy to see C4's like this one. I recently bought a 1996 C4 LT1 in Bright Aqua Metallic and I absolutely love it. More than enough power for the streets and puts a smile on my face every time I get into it. The C4's are truly an underappreciated Corvette. Thanks for showing us your C4. It's quite a beaut.
Build quality was lacking in some areas but that simple wedge shape never gets old Very fun car..just enough technology to make it relevant but not too much where you need a electrical engineering degree to service it or modify it
Really nice to see someone give some love to the C4. Congratulations on such a nice build across-the-board. Maybe post a video of her making a pull up the interstate.
Beautiful & Wicked Sounding 86! I love my 89 that I’ve had since 2000, she was built with all the performance options available (6-speed, Z51, FX3, 3.33 rear end, sport seats, etc). Autocrossed & road raced her in early 2000’s & started back autocrossing her again a year ago & I will never sell her. The C4 Corvettes are so great only a fool could not love them! Keep loving your Corvette, it’s definitely a keeper!
Nice vette ! I agree 100% that C4 CORVETTES are TOP NOTCH in every way. I owned several C4 VETTES over the years and had the best times ,with them. Seeing this video , tempts me to go buy one ,again
WOO.. BRUTAL ESE CORVETT ME ENCANTA EL COLOR AZUL Y MAS EN ESE C4 MI GENERACION PREFERIDA CON ESOS RINES ANCHOS ESPECTACULARES Q PASO CON EL TABLERO DIGITAL ALGO MAGICO DE ESTE MODELO.¡ Q HERMOSO AUTO FELICITACIONES DESDE COLOMBIA! ✋👍👍
Very nice car! I have my 84 painted the 92 bright aqua metallic as well. Love that color. I have a LT4 swapped into mine with a Dana 44 and 3.54 gears. Love these C4s!
i also have a 94 set up for drag racing... ill do a video like this when I get it painted and the interior is finished.. 383 stroker with manual valve body on a rebuilt automatic trans. inline shifter.. I love seeing an interior on a c4 thats not destroyed lol... beautiful work
Very nice build my friend. You easily have the cleanest c4 I have ever seen in person and on the internet. It is equisite yet means business. I hope you never sell it, because this is a piece of art! maybe one day when I am done with my Lemans blue on my c6 I will try out a similar blue! Cheers!
Beautiful car I must say😊 I just happen to also have one a bit similar to yours... 86 in aqua that was also disassembled for the repaint in 93 still pretty much stock car 58k miles. Sweet car thanks for sharing 🇺🇸
talk about a car that has been loved and cared for. Better than original, IMO. Great color. I have a polo green C4 which is my favorite corvette color. A close 2nd would be the Night Race Blue color available on later C6s. Thanks for sharing.
Thank You! Yes, I still love it! I’ve had this Vette for what seems forever. I still have so many more plans for it, it never ends. 😂 I also LOVE Polo Green!! Good luck with it! 👍🏽
I find your accent really interesting. It's like youre a born Australian who then moved to Canada and then ended up in the US. Or it's just a posh but rural accent like from somewhere in Maine or Wyoming or Montana or something
Its one of those rare Vette setups where custom rims actually fits the car. Congrats on your build pal. What are your thoughts about C4 being a daily car?
Thank You! The brace was mad by Tom Jasper out of Texas. Unfortunately due to some health reasons he no longer makes them. The top does not fit over, it replaces it. 👍🏽
It has a 3.75" crank with a 40 over (.040") Which actually equates to 384.56 or 385ci Every cube matters. 👍🏽 A 3.75” crank with a .30” bore would equal a 383ci
Thanks bud! It's not a LT1, it's a Stroked 385 L98 with a Miniram. (Looks just like a LT1 intake) The Gauges are from Intellitronix. www.topflightautomotive.com/products/intellitronix-1984-1989-chevrolet-corvette-analog-gauge-cluster-replacement/?gclid=CjwKCAjwxr2iBhBJEiwAdXECw_1L5ah0Ebx8-R7Fn7zGojVBtMCb10fpq20cPoQbmvogNN0OdyCBXxoCq2MQAvD_BwE
@magoostoybox9643 hello! I've an 89 completely stock and beautiful but would love to up the motor. Is that motor the original block? I am looking to do to mine exactly what you've done to yours. Did you do it yourself or have a shop do it and curious about what it would take and cost for just the engine end of it. Beautiful car ive ave always liked that medium blue color you have. Mine is dark red metallic with 52 k and looking almost new. These cars are definitely underrated. Thanks
Yes, the ECM was changed out to a Bigstuff3 unit. The cluster is made by a company called Intellitronix, pretty much plug and play. I haven’t Dyno’d the car yet, having that done in the spring. Thanks!! 👍🏽
@@ryanle1293 It was from a company called Forced Air, but I don’t think they’re around anymore. Sometimes people sell them on the Corvette Forum in the C4 Parts for sale section. Good luck!
C4's suck, unless you spend tons and tons of money on one such as Magoo did. I'll wager he spent more money just on that engine than what I paid for my C5 convertible.
That’s obviously your opinion but I don’t think they suck at all. They handle well and have great torque even in stock form. The LT4’s and ZR1’s were really nice too. To each their own, hope you enjoy your C5. My brother had a 99 FRC and I loved it.
That's a bad boy!! I bet that's an absolute blast to drive!! And don't listen to this guy those wheels are way better than the saladshooters that they come with!! If they were the sawblads maybe but saladshooters no way!!!
There’s nothing “ghetto” about the same size wheels & tires that came on the ZR1’s (that’s what they are) 17x9.5 front, 17x11 rear. Not only that there’s hardly ANY tires available in the 255/50ZR16 size today. Way more options in 17’s.
@@gadsdenjim8785 I have no problem getting BF Goodrich Radial T/As in both 14" and 15" sizes. Anything larger than 15" on a non commercial vehicle, or a tire with less than a 5" sidewall is definitely ghetto. My 1976 Corvette has 225/70-15 tires.
@geraldscott4302 Oook…. So factory size C4 wheels are “ghetto” to you. Clearly you don’t understand what’s conducive to performance. “Anything other than my 15” 225 pizza cutters are ghetto.” Ok guy…
Do yourself a favor and eliminate the junk headers and exhausts. Get American Racing long tubes x pipe and perhaps a B&B or a Corsa or stainless works. Trust I know what I'm talking about!

What a lovely car. I aspire to build mine to the level of yours. Cheers, -fellow c4 owner

It is pretty
If only it came like that from the Factory. You have improved everything !
Simple fabulous the gauge cluster really makes the vette modern so easy to see. Thank you for sharing.❤
Thank you so much! I really liked the original 80's Digital gauges but they would just never work right.
I'm glad you like these, I do as well.
@@magoostoybox9643 Mine is a 95 and the reason being as fabulous as the earlier cars interiors looked in the 80’s. They did not age well.

I bet that thing will fly!!
Yes, very nice ride Sir.
I would love to have a car that beautiful.
Thank you, I've had for a very long time. Labor of Love for me.
Very nicely done, I really like it. Those C4's make for some good project cars. The sound is amazing man.
Very cool I think it's called quasar blue metallic that is what it was when I bought my 92 Z28 I had to wait six weeks for the car was beautiful
My second corvette was a 1985. You put the mods that matter in the C4. Beautiful.
Dear Sir, that is a very, VERY cool C4 Corvette! Congratulations!
Appreciate that!! 🙌🏽
Very nice car! I have my 84 painted the 92 bright aqua metallic as well. Love that color. I have a LT4 swapped into mine with a Dana 44 and 3.54 gears. Love these C4s!
Love it!!!
Absolutely beautiful car looks amazing
This car is BEAUTIFUL. I can't wait to finish my build
Well done!

Awesome!! Hit me up when it’s done, I’d love to see it.
Amazing car!! You can tell you take good care of it once you've list the mods and all the years you've had them. That's rare.
Very nice build my friend. You easily have the cleanest c4 I have ever seen in person and on the internet. It is equisite yet means business. I hope you never sell it, because this is a piece of art! maybe one day when I am done with my Lemans blue on my c6 I will try out a similar blue! Cheers!
Really appreciate this, Thank You!!
What a time machine! I’m a 90’s kid and would have lusted over this car in my neighborhood, as I rode around in my GT performer lol
I actually still ride Flatland BMX! 😂
I just started a page if you like that sort of stuff.

lovely C4 you have there. i own an 85 with doug nash 4+3 and TPi. Hope to get mine like yours someday.
Thanks!! Good luck with your 85! 👍🏽
Beautiful Corvette! Love the color and all the mods you’ve made. 🤙🏻
I really appreciate that! I Still love it after all these years. 👍🏽
Nice car love the color
Nice Vette. Sounds great too. Great job.
Thank You! 🙌🏽
Real beauty !! C4 are going up in value👍
Let’s hope so, they were practically giving them away 10 years ago. Lol!
Fantastic! …… seemingly very well sorted c4, thanks for the video!
Beautiful.
That car is sick!
Looks and sounds excellent. Nice car!
Love the vette, watching during winter where I can’t drive mine in upstate ny till summer
Thanks bud, hope you are enjoying yours!
Same here in Mass, my Vette is tucked away for the winter.
WOW C4 Eye Candy at it's finest.
Gorgeous C4.
Looks sick!
That is a gorgeous car!
Thank You!!
Really nice car! I'm not a fan of the chrome wheels and steering wheel, but otherwise a very nice car. Well done.
Nice build!
Thank you!
nitto nt05r I would go with or 555. I love the low profile and they are so tough
Its true. Looks fantastic!
Arizona speed & marine is the same place I got my '87 iroc z tuned up
One sweet corvette! Do you know what the power output is? Sounds awesome!
Love the car! My 88 is a similar color!
Very cool! Love this Color! Good luck with yours.
A real race car. Hope you win!!!
Damn that sounds amazing.
That's one hot vette! I love it!
very sweet c4 corvette.
Beautiful car. Need some rolling footage and flybys.
Thank You! I definitely plan on doing a lot of content with the Vette in the near future.
Class car. Love your mods
Appreciate that!
Awesome

You obviously haven't been to the Northeast United States lol
Haha! I get that a lot. Funny, I never thought I had an accent. It’s a Boston thing. 😂
No it's Australia then Boston then he moved to NY and NJ accent
Very nice
Thank You so much!!
SO COOL!
The turbo intake is a dead giveaway ❤
Love the wheels, I have the same ones.. Hate the fire extinguisher, look so stupid..
I just picked a c4 a week ago i love it I’ve been on UA-cam searching every build i can find lol where did you get the seats ?
Its one of those rare Vette setups where custom rims actually fits the car. Congrats on your build pal. What are your thoughts about C4 being a daily car?
Thanks bud! Glad you like the wheels! Yes, C4's make grear Daily's. If your're in the market for one definetly try and get a low mileage car.
Also, where did you get the brace for the targa top? that is a very cool piece. Does the original top piece still fit over the brace?
Thank You!
The brace was mad by Tom Jasper out of Texas. Unfortunately due to some health reasons he no longer makes them.
The top does not fit over, it replaces it. 👍🏽
Pretty sure that’s Daytona blue
It may look so in the lighting, but it’s called Bright Aqua Metallic.
Where did you get that front license plate cover? looking to get one for my 87 vette.
It was from a company called Forced Air, not sure they are around anymore. Sometimes a used one gets posted for sale on the Corvette Forum.
Badass ride!
Nica car man😃👍
Cam specs? Why such a loose converter, how's it to drive?
Nice pump gas machine "
You mean 383 cubic inch stroker. Should run strong.
It has a 3.75" crank with a 40 over (.040")
Which actually equates to 384.56 or 385ci
Every cube matters. 👍🏽
A 3.75” crank with a .30” bore would equal a 383ci
@@magoostoybox9643 right 385
Not feeling that 90s teal, cool car though
Did you dyno the car? What is the HP on it?
Were you able to get the speedometer to work with those gauges?
Nice, what is your hp?
Not sure, never had it Dyno’d. Going to have those numbers next spring.
Nice C4, LT1 sounds healthy too! What gauges are those?
Thanks bud! It's not a LT1, it's a Stroked 385 L98 with a Miniram. (Looks just like a LT1 intake)
The Gauges are from Intellitronix.

How are those Corbeau seats?

What are the specs on the rims?
Nice
What is your wheel width and tire size
275/40ZR-17 tires in the front on 9.5's and 315/35ZR-17 in the rear on 11" wheels.
What hood is that
He said Greenwood hood louvers. Stock hood cut for the louvers.
8 minutes and don’t get to see it drive...
Sorry bud, I’ll make a driving video soon, this was just a walk around.
Thanks for watching. 👍🏽
it's sad to see an automatic in a Corvette
$100K+ in that baby yet ?
