Not a bad looking car, at least what can be seen in those crappy pics.

The ads been updated, it's 40% funnier now.

Wanna go back in time to sweatbands everwhere, zipper shirts and ripped jeans? Face it Reaganomics sounds good right about now. Take a ride back with your own 1984 Corvette with a totally 80's style Vettarossa body kit, tough to see the details in the pics due to poor weather and black paint. It ain't for everyone but if you like 80's camp this is for you. This is the first year C4, capable of still outhandling many modern cars, this was a beast in 84. The 84 Corvette was Motor trends "car of the year" (wasn't the pinto as well once?) the best handling car you could buy and one of the 6 fastest cars at the time these will hit 140 mph.

The car itself is in nice condition it ain't a show car but you can cruise around in it, Only has 100k auto trans goes into all gears and no slipping, 350 V-8 "Crossfire"engine (why do they call it "crossfire?" cuz it's never good to be caught in a crossfire, Haha! jokes, hey the car is 26 years old if it lasted this long it's a good system, and it starts right up and runs good. a/c does not work as you would expect from a 26 year old car, at least the removeable targa top can never stop working.

Interior is more than livable, seats look better in pic but they are ok. Aftermarket cd player, sorry no cassette player to play your old Van Halen mix tape. Instrument cluster works 100% headlights rotate, windows go down, just like a Poison Groupie .

So grab your sport jacket and gold chain, slide in your Jan Hammer cd and cruise the beach (prefferably Miami) with your best friend Tubbs (how cool a name is that anyhow?) and go trollin for big flammable hair. Cougars love this car and fortunatly they have discovered razors now unlike back in the 80's (The one thing I don't miss).

Car now qualifies as an Antique vehicle (where has the time gone?). Comes with free members only jacket (No it doesn't) But I will tell you how awesome parachute pants were.

Price for all this retrofun is 4200 (4100 if you can solve a rubiks cube in under a minute), think.... some poor slob with a Tom selleck 'Stache paid 25k in 80's money for this and probably had a 16% interest loan which was the norm back then, or you can go unnoticed in an old Honda (gag me with a spoon) your choice. FIRM!!! no offers please. So put away your Commodore 64 and get this ride Flux capacitor availble for an extra 40 million.

Make sure you fasten your seatbelts, there's enough ArmorAll on the seats for the next oil change!
