There are just about too many things "modified" on this Vette. As soon as I think I'm finished, I find something else to do! Web Page with photos of every angle.

I have owned this C4 for about 3 1/2 years. I bought it from a female physician in a rural part of Alabama, who nearly cried when I drove it away. The first owner was truly a "Corvette Person" and this Torch Red Coupe was pampered, garage kept & covered with a car cover. This example set the standard for it's new owner, me. Shortly after acquiring my vette, I joined a local Corvette Club. The club invited me to enter a local car show, so I went. At the show, I really enjoyed seeing the enthusiasm in the car owner eyes and talking with them about their individual "Babies". At the awards presentation I won a third place trophy, and the hook was set! Since that event, I have had a "mission" to get my C4 looking as good as some of those cars I saw at that show. I began by detailing, detailing, detailing! You have to start with a clean car and then worry about progressing into the restoration and "tweaks". I soon saw the need for a paint job to fix some little imperfections, and as my new best friend who own the local Corvette Shop said, the snowball started rolling down the hill! Roger L.

Windsor, Ontario’s Joe Maksoud has owned his “totally non-stock” 1984 Corvette coupe for a little over year. “I’ve dreamed of owning a Corvette since I was a little squirt,” he says, “which wasn’t all that long ago since I’m only 20 now.” Joe has added a ground effects package and rear spoiler, woodgrain dash, chrome door sill plates, and a stereo system with 12-disc CD changer and a pair of 10-inch JL Audio subwoofers. Under the hood sits a swapped-in 327 with an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold and a 750 Holley carb. “Hopefully, I’ll soon be able to add some nice rims to complete the exterior look,” Joe says. “I couldn’t ask for any better, not even in my dreams.”

1996 Corvette
When Mark McGrade purchased his 1986 L98 Corvette five years ago, it was in need of a lot of work. According to Mark, “The original light gray metallic paint was faded and cracking off and the interior was totally shot.” So soon Mark was making the change to Bright Aqua Metallic, and discovering that “changing the color on a Corvette can get quite costly!” From there, Mark restored the interior, swapped the original 2.59:1 rear gears with a set of 3.73s, and upgraded the old exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers, Walker Y-pipe, and catalytic converter from Random Technologies. The biggest change, Mark feels, was the addition of ZR-1 wheels with huge 315/35/17 tires out back. “Owning a Corvette has been a dream of mine since I was a child,” Mark says, “and driving it now makes me feel like one too!”

I'm Corvette enthusiast from my childhood for about 20 years all the same there is not any Chevrolet or Corvette dealer in Hungary. When I was 10 years old I decided I will own a Corvette at one time. Finally, at august of 2003 I could buy one, a wonderful middle-blue convertible. Now I am the happiest man all over the world and I would like to do my best to use my Corvette forever... Description of my 'Vette: She is a middle-blue 1988 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible with blue leather and drape, she is the only one 88's Convertible in my country and one of 7407 1988 Bowling Green's roadsters. I modified the L98 engine a little bit: 355 ci, LT1 controll, longer steel connecting arms (6.0 inch), non-stick flat-top pistons, high pressure oil pump (70 psi), enhanced double timing chain, no frisbie, no front katalysators, and I upgraded the 700R4 transmission also with TCI shift-kit.

Norman P. Casey from Fall River, Massachusetts, admits that this 1993 coupe is his first Corvette. Purchased in may 2000, the black beauty is a one-owner car with 32,000 miles. So far, the only change from factory stock is window tinting. “Back surgery has made me put down the Harley,” Norman says, “but the Corvette eases the pain.” The photo was taken in Newport, Rhode Island, at Fort Adams, site of the JVC Jazz Festival. “Mother Nature takes credit for the back-drop; GM gets the credit for the beautiful black object in the center!”

California’s Gary Carlson says he made the right decision when up traded his 1980 Corvette for the style and performance of this 1987 model. Equipped with the L-98 engine and the best options, Gary now says he actually drives the car more than he should, having added 8,000 miles to the odometer in the last 10 months. Gary purchased the 84,000-mile C4 from its original owner, who also handed over two files with maintenance records and parts receipts. “That was a big plus in my book,” Gary commented. Regardless of the miles, Gary says he’s going to keep on driving his Corvette, especially on cruises like the Big Bear Bash and the Route 66 Rendezvous in San Bernardino.

After purchasing this ’93 Corvette just a few weeks ago, Terry Ellis is already getting worried about his wife. “It’s almost scary how much she talks about it,” he says. “I think it might be a mental illness relating to this vehicle, but who knows?” Of course, Jeanie is only the latest to go crazy about a Corvette, but who could blame her with the ’93? It’s an LT1 with every option, including red/black leather interior. Plus the Ellises purchased it from a Saturn dealership with just 6,400 miles on the odometer. As Terry points out, “It is simply an incredible car. The new car dealer stickers are still in place on the dash! Everything is original. If you are ever in Richmond, Virginia, I am sure you will see this vehicle around - probably at Zip Products buying more accessories!”

Dan and Trish Coble From Punta Gorda Florida, submitted their Corvettes to our Readers Rides department because, "We wanted to share our good fortune with other Corvette lovers." Last summer, after winning a 20-year battle with Uncle Sam, Dan and Trish decided to fulfill their life-long dream of buying a nice Corvette to restore and enjoy. Trouble was, Dan liked C3s while Trish preferred C4s. But when they couldn’t find a clean C3, Trish won out when they located a 9,000 black-on-black 1994 LT-4 at Roger’s Corvettes in Orlando. A few days after taking delivery of the C4, the A/C controller malfunctioned, so the Cobles took the car back to Rogers for a repair. There they spotted a new arrival — a black-on-silver-gray 1982 Corvette, a one-owner with under 17,000 miles and fully optioned. "Needless to say, our garage is filled with our dream cars," Trish said. "And the bonus is that we have detailed information about the history of our ’82, all the way down to when the engine block was cast. We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have stumbled onto two such fine examples of Corvette history."

For his first Corvette, Larry Fear ended up with a rather unique factory color. The original paint on Larry’s 1990 coupe is Dark Smoke Charcoal Metallic, which was applied to only 878 Corvettes in 1990. According to Larry’s research, the car is one of 110 with the Dark Smoke Charcoal Metallic paint and 6-speed transmission. Otherwise, the Corvette is equipped with the L-98 engine, ADS Superchip, throttle-body air foil, and a cat-back exhaust system. Larry, from Homestead, Florida, says the color is “a real attention-getter.”

Steve Erickson from Austin, Texas, has owned this white 1986 Corvette coupe since january 1987. Since then, the car has moved with Steve and his wife from Texas, to Ohio, to Illinois, and finally back to Texas. Now with 66,000 miles, Steve’s former daily driver is now driven only on nice days. From the factory, the ’86 came with blue leather sport seat interior, blue panel roof, and Z51 handling package. Steve has added 17 x 9.5-inch ROH wheels, muffler eliminators, K&N filter with air foil, and “all the chrome hardware that’s available from the aftermarket.” Steve also polished the upper and lower A-frames, half-shafts, trailing arms, and A/C tubing and fittings. “ I continue to look for other modifications that I can add,” Steve says. “This is a great car and I get a lot of compliments.”

Purchased in april, 2001, Dennis Fixsen from Poway, California, is the third owner of this "very-cherry" 1988 coupe. The L98 engine remains all stock internally, as does the 700R4 overdrive transmission and 2.59 rearend. The only modifications are a Flowmaster cat-back exhaust system, K&N air filter with an open air filter lid, and a throttle body air foil. Equipped with saddle leather bucket seats and tinted windows, Fixsen’s C4 cruises on Yokohama tires with the rare 1988 standard six-slot 16-inch aluminum wheels. Even with 156,000 "well-babied" miles, Dennis says his ’88 Corvette maintains 26 miles-per-gallon on the open road and 18 mpg in city traffic. "I'm blessed to be living in Southern California with great year-round driving weather," Dennis says. "L98 C4s are the best!"

Sanford B. Lubell from Plantation, Florida, is the owner of this red-on-red 1989 roadster. Modified and detailed for shows, Sanford has chromed the engine compartment, added braided hoses, and polished the Borla exhaust system to a chrome-like shine. The undercarriage is painted to match the exterior and also features chrome components, which is why Sanford displays the car with mirrors underneath. "The car is a winner where ever we go to display," Sanford says.

Al Joines has owned his 1992 LT1 Corvette for just over three years. During that time, he has modified the C4 by installing a Hypertech computer chip, K&N air filter, Flowmaster mufflers, and ZR1 wheels. For the underhood appearance, Al polished the air conditioning components and added numerous stainless steel covers. "I am retired from the Air Force and at the present time serving as vice-president for Westside Classic Cruisers," Al says. "My car is a weekly award winner at the local cruises in and around the Fort Worth - Dallas area."

“If you’re an NCRS member, turn your head now! said Lance Humphreys in his short e-mail about his modified C4 Corvette. Lance, from Anza, California, didn’t provide a lot of details about his Corvette, except “You’ll note a few modifications,” which obviously include a hood scoop and large rear wing.

Mark Hodson, from the eastern Canadian Province of Prince Edward Island, just north of Nova Scotia, is just finishing up a "few modifications" on his recently-purchased 1991 C4. So far, he’s added a nitrous kit, a hot cam for the LT4 engine, ported and polished heads, MSD-6 digital ignition, 52mm throttle body with "Big Mouth" intake, 3-inch exhaust with Dynomax mufflers, Centerforce clutch, ’96 wheels, and a pair of Alpine V12 amplifiers with a 12-inch subwoofer. "They should have come from the factory this way," Mark says. "I spent the long, cold winter working on the Corvette. I can’t wait for spring!"

Rob Hester says when he bought his '95 Admiral Blue coupe, he knew immediately that he wanted the license plates to read "Not Red." A founding member of the Northeast Arkansas Corvette Club, Rob wants to keep the ’95 closer to stock than his previous Corvette, a white ’89 with a reverse Grand Sport theme. So far, the only mods include lowering and polished 5-spoke wheels. "I have never had so many compliments on a car before," Rob says.

Pete from Phoenix is just 17 years-old, but he’s already learning the joys of Corvette ownership with his black ’84 coupe. “I used to own a 1984 Camaro Z-28 5-speed,” Pete explained in his e-mail. “But I like my Corvette much better. It just totally blows the Camaro out of the water.” Pete has performed a “semi-restoration” on the ’84, including a new interior and an upgraded sound system. “All I have to say is that I blow everyone’s doors off at school. Those little Jettas and GTIs can’t hang with the big boys!”

Tim Johnson from Modesto, California, tells the story about how he acquired his 1985 coupe: “I was actually set on getting an earlier C3. I almost bought a ‘75, then an ‘82. But while test driving both of those cars, I noticed they didn't have the power and ride that I wanted in a daily driver. Then I found this C4 buried in the local newspaper. All the ad said was ‘85 Corvette, nice condition, $8,000 obo.’ What a find! They were the original owners, and everything was original except for the battery and the missing glass top. I purchased it on may 1, 2000, with 85,000 miles on the odometer, at a ripe old age of 18, for $7,500.” Since purchasing the Light Brown Metallic ‘85, Tim has added a CD player and speakers, custom computer chip, and other minor power modifications.

After childhood dreams and a lot of hard work, I finally was able to purchase my 1985 Corvette. Powered by the L98 engine with only 53,500 miles on the odometer, this Corvette was certainly a rare find. I had spent the entire summer searching for a 'Vette and this find was unexpected and last minute! The interior is in great condition and the paintjob continues to get comments from people asking who I recently got to paint my two-tone car... (It hasn't been painted since the factory, 19 years ago) I have replaced valve gaskets, repainted the valve covers, detailed the wheels, replaced fuel/air filter, cleaned the entire engine bay and front suspension, replaced the door sills etc. I even went looking for and found a 1980's car phone to go with my 'Vette for a little added touch as I go back in time with LOADS of torque at the reach of my foot. This is one beauty that has been perfectly maintain it's entire life and I will certainly enjoy keeping it up to and beyond par! Watch out Mustangs for this 19 year old 'Vette with a 19 year old owner... -Daniel Bowler P.S. (Thanks for the opportunity to list my Corvette to the world. CorvetteMagazine is an amazing website that I visit nearly everyday. I wish it the best and hope it can continue to thrive!)

Fifty-three year-old George Powell, from Clearwater, Florida, who says he’s dreamed of owning a Corvette since he was 17, finally threw practicality out the window to purchase a Dark Smoke Metallic 1989 Corvette coupe. We’ll let George tell the story: “I had always wanted a Corvette, but the practical side of life always interfered. Then my wonderful wife, Jennifer, told me it was time to act on my dream. After some serious searching, I found the ’89 at The Toy Store in Largo, Florida. It was marvelous, with just 57,000 miles. At this stage of my life, and driving in the great Florida climate, the car and I are pretty much inseparable. I had the chance to take two weeks and drive from Clearwater to Idaho and back. While the infrastructure in America is somewhat in need of attention, it is an experience I’ll always treasure. Jennifer refers to it as my ‘bonding experience!’”

Joe Polai has his own version of TLC — "Tender love and cash." That’s what he put into his 1991 Corvette after he purchased it in 2000. "It was in dire need of a paint job — the paint was cracked, chipped, and faded," he explains. "The car was used and abused by the previous owners and need that TLC to bring it back to a nice condition." As you can see, Joe did a great job with the make-over, which also included a number of exterior modifications (like Grand Sport fender hash marks and fender flares, taillight louvers, GS brakes, etc.) and a new Sport Suspension from Eckler’s. From the factory, the C4 came with the L98 engine, 6-speed, FX3 suspension, leather sport seats, glass top, and electronic temperature control. For improved performance, Joe enlisted TPIS in Chaska, Minnesota to add a 3 1/2-inch cat-back exhaust system, 4.09 rear gears, B&M Ripper shifter, TPIS Fast Pack Kit, and ZR1 chrome wheels.

I've only had this car for just over a year. I bought it, installed new motor, and then was rear-ended at a stop light between 2 trucks. That happened to be my sons birthday and graduation day. So I spend a year building it as you see here. I modified it so that it could still be hard top, t-top (taneau), or no top. Not to mention, all the other upgrades. 2 months after completion, I am again rear ended at the same stop light. I included a couple of pictures of that, as well. Frames still straight but, I don't know what I'm going to do with it. They (insurance co.) want to total it but I'm going to lose big, as you can imagine what they value a 85 vette for. But I think most of you will agree, you sure don't see any vettes nicer looking than this.

Dream since I was nine years old to own a Corvette. My neighbor when I was young bought a brand new yellow 63 stingray with factory side pipes, yellow and was washing it when I walked up to it and I fell in love. The first time I went to Charolette North Carolina Nascar speedway it was still the Charlotte track. I saw the 93 Corvette drive around the track. Then I went to Indy the same year and saw the 93 Vette and knew then that was the year. The C4 is such a clean body shape with no chrome, just nice clean lines. This is a true hot rod for the street and at the prices they are selling for are very reasonable priced hot rod. My car is white, with a white rag top, removeable hard top. What a blast!

My name is John Moore and I live in Sydney, Australia. This is my second Corvette and it's an ' 88 convertible and no the photos are not in reverse it is right hand drive. The law in the state that I live in requires left hand drive vehicles under 30 years old to be converted. As you will notice from the photo's it has been "mirrored image" converted and look like and more importantly drives like it was built that way. It has recently had a new black interior, new top, and over the 6 years I have owned it I have put in a hypertech chip, bigger crossed drilled rotors and new calipers, 52mm throttle body, new plugs&wires etc, new stainless exhaust and mufflers, vintage license plates and I have removed the air pump. This car is definately a "keeper" and I now have a ' 73 on it's way to keep it company. As well as being a member of a local Corvette club here in Sydney we are members of the Corvette Club Of Hawaii where my wife and I vacation every year and they are a really great bunch of people. I hope my car is of interest to you and I would like to say that I have had great service from ZIP. You guys go the extra mile when needed. John Moore
