This black Chevrolet Corvette C4 project car with 4+3 manual transmission was acquired in San Jose, California. It got parked with a defective fuel pump in 2008 and was recently brought back to life.
The Corvette’s most obvious visual flaw is the bonnet, which was sanded down to almost bare glassfibre. The rest of the paint (except for the top of the rear bumper and mirror covers) might polish up nicely, although it would be better to repaint the entire car.
The chassis is straight and solid and shows no signs of previous damage. Unfortunately, the passenger’s side fibreglass floor board was damaged after forklift handling in the port. This can easily be repaired with fibreglass mats and resin.
Mechanically, the Corvette will need at least a thorough service check up. Expect to replace all fluids, some seals and gaskets, belts and other service items. Recently, the car received a new fuel pump, fuel filter and battery. It now runs and drives, but is not roadworthy. Visible defects are leaking valve cover gaskets, old fluids and a leaking clutch slave cilinder. Tyres are old and should be replaced. The left rear tyre is slowly losing air.
The VIN report shows no recorded damage or other issues and mileage entries are logically ascending. Current mileage sits at 124.056.
The Corvette’s interior needs to be renovated. The leather seat upholstery is worn and torn and the dashboard top has severe cracks. Also, the digital dashboard is not working and would need to be repaired or replaced. The car has a transparent removable targa roof.
This early C4 is an attractively priced project car with plenty of potential.
