This 1984 Chevrolet Corvette Greenwood Edition is an absolutely
stunning, Greenwood-bodied Corvette professionally built both
inside and out! Among the most distinctive and collectible variants
of the fourth-generation Corvette, a Greenwood-bodied C4 represents
a rare intersection of American engineering ambition and elite
aftermarket coachbuilding that serious collectors have sought for
decades. The 1984 Corvette was a watershed moment for America's
sports car. Arriving after a two-year hiatus while GM completely
reworked the platform, the C4 represented the most significant
reinvention of the Corvette since its 1953 debut. Gone was the
soft, rounded styling of the C3 - replaced by a taut, wedge-shaped
silhouette with a drag coefficient of just 0.34, a clamshell hood
that exposed the entire drivetrain, and a driver-focused cockpit
that finally brought the Corvette's interior into the modern era.
Car and Driver called it "the best Corvette ever built." Road &
Track declared it a genuine world-class sports car. For the first
time in years, the Corvette could stand confidently alongside its
European rivals without apology. Into that moment stepped John
Greenwood - one of the most celebrated names in Corvette racing and
customization history. Greenwood had made his reputation in the
early 1970s racing heavily modified Corvettes at Le Mans and
Daytona, developing an instinctive understanding of Corvette
aerodynamics and performance that few could match. His aftermarket
ground effects packages, engineered with the same rigor he applied
to his race cars, were among the most respected and visually
dramatic in the industry. Applied to the already compelling C4
body, the Greenwood 12-piece kit didn't merely add visual drama -
it deepened and refined the car's inherent character, giving it a
purposeful, coachbuilt quality that the factory had only gestured
toward. The result was a Corvette that occupied a singular position
in the collector market - possessing the documented heritage of
America's most iconic sports car and the rare distinction of
Greenwood coachwork, a combination that commands attention and
respect in equal measure. For the serious Corvette enthusiast, a
Greenwood-bodied C4 is not simply a modified car. It is a piece of
American motorsport and automotive craft history. This particular
Greenwood Corvette was even featured in 'Vette Magazine's July 1997
issue as its cover car and comes to us from its most recent,
long-term steward who owned and cared for this one-of-a-kind
Corvette for over 25 years. Under the hood on this '84 Greenwood
Corvette is a 350 cubic inch V8 bored 0.030 over to 355 cubic
inches and outfitted with Speed Pro Forged Pistons, a Crane
Compucam, an upgraded Melling high-volume oil pump, upgraded
ignition system, and ported heads with roller rockers and upgraded
intake and exhaust valves, said to create 9.8:1 compression and
professionally built by Ken's Custom Machine and Canadian Super
Shop. The built 355 CID V8 breathes through a ported intake
manifold and an upgraded electronic fuel injection system sporting
a pair of Stage-One high-performance throttle bodies and higher
capacity fuel injectors, professional built by The Carburetor Shop
in California. Together, the built 355 V8 with upgraded
computer-controlled fuel injection system were said to have
produced over 400 horsepower when it was installed. Exhaust notes
are extra throaty, exiting this Corvette's supped up V8 powerplant
via a pair of Hooker headers and out the tailpipes through an
upgraded 2" exhaust outfitted with SuperTurbo mufflers. The 355 V8
is mated to an upgraded 700R4 Automatic Transmission professionally
built by Diamond Gears and equipped with heavy-duty clutch packs, a
B&M shift kit, 10-vein pump, and a 31 spline input shaft for
easy driving and increased durability. Being that this Greenwood
car is a 4th Generation 'Vette, it comes loaded with fantastic
driver-friendly options and extra upgrades beyond stock. Power is
sent to the rear wheels from the upgraded engine and transmission
through a Dana 36 limited slip rear differential so that you can be
sure that you have all of the traction that you'll need. Further
assisting with traction and comfort is the upgraded suspension
consisting of Carrera shocks, higher rate springs, and adjustable
struts that allow for a lower, more imposing ride height and a
smoother ride. Bringing this 1984 Greenwood-bodied Corvette to a
complete stop in a much easier and more reliable fashion are a set
of 12" power disc brakes with upgraded pads. Of course, squeezing
into a tight parking spot at the local Radwood car show or ice
cream parlor is also a total breeze since this Corvette is
outfitted with power rack and pinion steering. Riding on a set of
275/40ZR17 radial tires up front and 285/40ZR17 radials in the
rear, all mounted on 17" Fittipaldi 500M OZ Modular Wheels, this
'84 Corvette has a tasteful custom and performance-oriented look
and an even better ride. The body has also been elevated above its
stock C4 presentation with the addition of a 12-piece Greenwood
body kit paired with gold-plated trim accents and door handles that
gives this 'Vette its incredible look from nearly every angle. The
exterior has been refinished in attractive Acura NSX Red paint that
completes the exterior look of this amazing automobile. The
interior of this 1984 Chevrolet Corvette Greenwood Edition is
absolutely gorgeous! The bucket seats retain a nice stock
appearance, upholstered in Dark Red leather beautifully
complementing the car's overall look and feel. The matching dark
red carpeting, door panels, center console, and steering wheel are
all in great shape as well and largely remain stock as well. The
interior also comes equipped with a number of creature comforts
including power-adjustable seats and mirrors, power windows, and a
power rear hatch release. You'll also be able to stay cool even on
the hottest summer days (and warm on a cool autumn evening) since
this Corvette is equipped with air conditioning and heat. The
stereo has also been upgraded to a Kenwood AM/FM/CD head unit with
upgraded speakers so that you can listen to all of your tunes while
crusing in style down the road. The stock digital instrumentation
remains in place and includes a 120 MPH speedometer, 6,000 RPM
tachometer, and fuel gauge, as well as switchable a oil pressure
and oil temperature gauge, and a switchable coolant temperature and
voltage gauge. Whether you're buying your first classic and want
something that's truly 1-of-a-kind, or you're adding to an existing
collection of eclectic customs, this 1984 Chevrolet Corvette
Greenwood Edition would make an excellent choice. Give Ellingson's
