Introduced in 1984 following a one-year break, the C4 Corvette revitalized Chevrolet’s flagship model, pulling it out of the performance slump caused by emission regulations. Ushering the Corvette into the digital age, the C4 featured a range of new electronic innovations, including a digital dashboard.
It carried Chevrolet’s sports car line through the 1980s and early ’90s. The 1 millionth Corvette was a C4 and the introduction of the ZR-1 version in 1990 helped the Corvette regain its place among high-performance cars, a position it hadn’t held since the late 1960s.
Owning a classic Corvette, particularly a C4, is a dream for many car enthusiasts. But before you dive into the world of vintage sports cars, it’s essential to understand the financial implications. In this video, Brad Hansen from Retro Cars Forever on YouTube talks about the real costs of owning a C4 Corvette, based on his experiences as a long-term owner.
