It's funny, values for the 1963-1967 mid-years have gone up so much that you see people trying to restore heavily modified Sting Rays to stock condition. I always think they'd be better off making them into resto-mods ...

Hello, all: this is a kick-off post for the C4 Factory Restoration section.
I'll freely admit that people doing factory restoration on C4s are in the vast minority within the entire C4 community, but we are out there. My story: I bought my 1985 about four years ago. At first I didn't know what i wanted to do with it - I had purchased it because it was the car I wanted when I was 15. After a while I decided I was going to restore it to the way it was when it was new. Restoring a C4 is not easy, in part because the restoration suppliers aren't convinced there is a market for C4 restoration parts (don't talk to me about batteries or tires ). Be that as it may, I have managed to take 'Lauren' from about a "22 footer" to about an "8 footer" - and get a National Top Flight along the way earlier this year. i've also made a ton of friends and learned a huge amount about my car and other C4s.My 1985 isn't the most perfect restoration out there, but I think I can give good advice in this area. So, step up and ask a question - if I don't know the answer I can probably find out ...

There is a great book out there, called "Corvette Fuel Injection and Electronic Ignition: 1982-2001," by Charles Probst. It's a great primer on how this works. I agree - almost everything I know about my L98 is from reading and re-reading this book.

they can get slow... they can get wacky... they can act weird... all of witch may or may not throw a code. failure would result in a code. I agree - what I really to do is go over all my wiring with a fine tooth comb. Problem is that I have to do this soon before the weather gets colder and the engine starts behaving again ...

Just joined ...
... I'm one of those crazy guys doing a C4 restoration, though it isn't a full one like some here are doing. We drive our 1985 about 4k miles a year and it's almost at 60k: high mileage for an NCRS-judged C4, much less one that's received a National Top Flight. The car is not perfect mechanically - it's got some fuel delivery/mixture issues I'm still trying to track down. By the way, I'm convinced that Andy Bogus moved to California just so he wouldn't have to personally troubleshoot my electrical problems, but the power of the Internet does keep him reasonably close ...
