Vehicle Description
Nicely upgraded '84 Corvette. Aluminum heads, upgraded cam,
long-tube headers, and more. Doug Nash 4+3, awesome digital dash,
gorgeous black paint. They don't get any nicer than this and it's
seriously fast, too! This awesome black Corvette has been freshly
touched up and buffed and we'll wager that there were exactly zero
Corvettes in 1984 that had paint jobs like this. Factory black cars
look dusty next to this one, the finish is so deep. Obviously
fiberglass doesn't rust, so the bodywork is in excellent condition
and this car has never been hit or wrecked, so it's still wearing
its original panels. And there are plenty of cool details on the
'84s, including the Kamm-back rear bumper that replaced the convex
bumper cap on the '82s, the headlights that flip over instead of
pop up, and quad exhaust tips out back. You still get traditional
styling cues, too, including four round taillights, a subtle 'Coke
bottle' shape, and a fastback profile with a glass hatch. Looking
at this car, we think you'll be impressed with the preservation and
the slightly nostalgic look that still attracts attention on the
street. The graphite leather interior is simply gorgeous, and if
there's one place the C4 Corvette excels, it's in the driver's
compartment. Once you're in there's plenty of room and those
articulating sport seats are every bit as comfortable and
supportive as they look. The leather is in excellent condition with
almost zero wear, strongly suggesting that this car has always been
well-maintained. Original carpets are likewise in excellent shape
and settling down behind the leather-wrapped wheel feels like
strapping into an aircraft. The digital gauges are definitely a
relic of the '80s, but they all work, they're bright and easy to
read, and you can see echoes of today's configurable instrument
panels in the secondary displays that can be switched to different
settings. Everything works, including the A/C, original
AM/FM/cassette stereo, power windows, seats, locks, and mirrors,
and even the trip computer. The transmission is the Doug Nash 4+3
manual, which is really just a 4-speed with an overdrive that can
be used in 2nd, 3rd, and 4thgears, and it's activated by a rocker
switch on the center console. Of course, the roof is removable and
there's decent storage in the rear compartment. The engine is the
original 350 cubic inch V8 with Cross-Fire Injection, but don't go
anywhere yet! Rebuilt with a long list of upgrades, including a
more substantial camshaft, aluminum heads from a later LT1,
long-tube headers, and a re-mapped computer, this doesn't drive
like any '84 Corvette you've ever experienced. Power probably
approaches LT1 levels and there's a huge whack of torque available
off the line and at speed. The fuel injection makes it easy to
start, provides a stable idle, and doesn't seem to have any flat
spots or hesitation like a carburetor might. The engine bay is
clean and well detailed and that Cross-Fire Injection housing does
look cool and inhales through the side vents where the air is nice
and cool. There are newer A/C components, recent tune-up parts, and
a newer radiator up front, so it's 100% healthy and ready to
rumble. The manual gearbox is a lot of fun to rip through the
gears, offering more of a '60s Muncie vibe that makes it feel
indestructible. 3.07 gears out back work well with the engine's
low-end torque, and provide fantastic high-speed cruising abilities
when combined with the transmission's overdrive. It all works
correctly and as I mentioned, the hardware feels incredibly robust
on the road. The C4's handling is legendary, and was the first year
that GM used fiberglass leaf springs at both ends, reducing weight
and providing better control. Massive 4-wheel disc brakes were also
part of the deal, and this was the car that established Corvettes
as having some of the best brakes in the world. Long-tube headers
help the engine breathe and a low-restriction exhaust system
eliminates the catalytic converters and adds a pair of throaty
Flowmaster mufflers that sound spectacular at speed. Factory alloy
wheels are unmarked and carry 255/60/16 General performance
radials. Take a closer look at what this gorgeous C4 has to offer.
It's fast, comfortable, competent, and unquestionably a Corvette.
It still attracts envious stares on the road and with the big
horsepower boost it's a blast to drive. Extremely clean,
beautifully maintained, and always treated as a special car, it's
the Corvette you want to own. Call today! Harwood Motors always
