    I'm 54 and the purchase of my '93 Ruby Red convertible cured my midlife crisis as soon as I signed the title. It is a great chick magnet...real hippie chicks now in thier mid to late 60's love it! Still the best bang for the buck! The rich older Cougars are going to eat you young virile bucks up when you drag main in those C4 dream boats! :)

    Kurt,
    Thanks for introducing Matt to your channel and his recently purchased corvette . His looks really original and those mags suit the car so well.
    The C4 may be the least expensive of the all the corvette redesigns( except for the Grand sport and ZR1 ) although compared to other makes and models of sports cars out there ( ex : nisson 300zx) it still looks better and has better performance then many others of the same period.
    I recently purchased a C4 In good condition and I love it.
    Yours in yellow with dark tinted windows looks great.
    Keep up the great videos.

    One thing to note. The digital dash has polarized coating on the gauges. They tend to fade. It happened on my tach where I couldn’t read the gauge. It’s an easy fix by buying polorizing sheets that cost about $5. You will need to rotate the sheet to get the best view and cut it to fit.

    Old OE injectors are a huge problem . Especially ones from the 80's and early 90's . Not compatible with fuels containing ethanol. Replacing them is usually best . Cars that get driven and maintained are usually better than as drivers than those that sat incorrectly stored.

    My dad just gave me his 84 C4 with 96k kilometers (60k miles).. light grey colour.
    Im stoked to get it on the road tmrw. Its 100% (minus a bit of wearing).. I need to do the weatherstripping aswell as take a look at the hatch release not working when you press the yellow button in the center console..

      @KurtWinters there's a factory install release "cable" to the 'right' (when sitting in car) of the latch.. found that out in someone else's video where he accidentally pulled on some wires to the 'right' when looking back at the latch. Hard for normies to remember left = driver and right= passenger side

    I came across this video last week. And I never got a chance to watch the whole thing. And I happen to own a corvette myself: an 1987 automatic since May of this year. But the car had been sitting for 10 years. The dealer I bought it from said he only put about 50 miles on it from those 10 years. And because of it, I need a whole new set of brakes for the front AND back. But I managed to read a comment a couple minutes ago about the fuel injectors. That in which leads me to ask you: what kind of gas treatment should I use for my corvette? I'm going to put gas treatment in the tank every 2 or 3 fill ups. And I usually use the regular old gas treatment for any car. Can I use the brand x or use the good stuff?

    • @KurtWinters
      @KurtWinters  3 роки тому

      SeaFoam or B12 Chem Tool, is what I use. Tried and true , Daniel !

      @@KurtWinters thanks for the suggestion. I actually bought 2 different gas treatments. 2 bottles of gas treatment (super concentrated) for cars with over 75k miles and the B12 Chem Tool from which I bought earlier today. Whenever the brakes get done, I will put the B12 Chem Tool first in my vette when I do a filler-up at my local Family Express when the time comes.

The guy brings it to car shows here in the East. 30,000 miles, everything works, except the radio antenna sticks up one inch when shut down. It's like a brand new car, very, very clean.
