Thanks, I have poured a lot of blood and sweat into this car and not much money, which was the goal.

I always liked them, well, almost always, I wasn't a fan when the 84 came out. In almost every way the C5 is a better car but it lacks the raw feel the C4 has and I prefer to sit in a C4, it just fits around your body and holds you in. I had been wanting to restore one for a long time, this one was the perfect candidate for that. In stock form it was an absolute beast on the track, dominating every showroom stock class car in the world in the mid to late 80's. It set the standard for what Corvettes would be in the future. It was the first Vette that the emphasis was on handling and not straight line acceleration and the nailed it.

Dick is an absolute legend!
He is... ..also as a race driver !! When he moved his original shop ( Jefferson Blvd. / "Guldstrand Sport Suspension" ) , to Burbank, ( closer to his home / ( Guldstrand Motorsports" ).... He called me to assist on the move, then I worked for him for about 6 months !
He has great stories !!
( Dick gave me one of his personal sweaters )
( PM me your mailing address..... I'll send you an original decal....)
