That car is not crude. It's real. I'm sure it's already sold. $13k for this car with 62k miles is a great price. I want it. I might start shopping. At 65 I'm beyond mid life crisis. This is the perfect sports car for a late life crisis.
You have the shoes and shorts already so why not. They are simple cars not much to go wrong. What does is not hard to fix generally. So why not enjoy life dude, 10k-15k and you can find a nice car. I would have one over a new car anyway they are fixable at home. At 57 I hate how hard/ expensive it is to work on new cars.
$13k for 62k miles is a bit high, especially for an auto L98 car. Prices on these should be higher, but as stated, they made over 360k of them, so they're not uncommon.
It's crude in the sense that it has none of the later, more sophisticated systems. It's a bog standard V8 with a relatively simple fuel injection system.
@@Doctorj63 Okay Goober..she is a "classy gold" digger....how is that? She is a great actress too, pretending to enjoy sitting next to that Goofy dunce, and laughing at his stale jokes.......just waiting to pounce for the big prize.....LOL....
In something like 1986 or 87 I was a the SCCA race at Mid-Ohio watching the Corvette C4 totally dominated Porsche 944 turbos in the SCCA GT showroom stock racing series. Every race the entire season was won by Chevy with only a handful of podium finishes by a Porsche. A total domination so bad that Porsche went crying to get the Vette banned because they couldn't beat it! 😂🤣😂
@@Mandolin1944 In the early 90's I had a 300ZXtwin Turbo... and got really sick of Corvettes passing me 🤣 So sick of it - I got rid of the Nissan... and went back to Vettes.
Are you that naive......??? This gold digger is setting Hoovie up for another fall like his other two ex wives did.....guy never learns. You dont sound to swift yourself Gomer.
Love my C4! No other clamshell front corvettes making the look under the is one of my favorite angles. 👌🏽 And they have all aluminum double wishbone front suspension! Cool stuff, especially for the 80s.
A friend of mine had a C4, I actually loved it. If your other cars are lambos and Ferraris it might not be that impressive but for the average guy it’s cool and has some nice 80’s nostalgia.
Friend of mine had one of these 1980 era . Total wimp no guts . I pull up in a old 1968 mustang rag top . A quick Little car. Motor was not stock . A hypo 289 4v 4 speed from a 63 fair lane GT . Fun car . I raced the GM Got him off the line .
_Simply stated, the Corvette fourth generation was the right car for the time. Having owned seven from almost new to well-used, the car is incredibly fun to drive. (And no it didn't look like a Camaro, ride like a Camaro, or even sound like one). Love it or hate all models of the C4 Chevy Corvette, the car sold well over its thirteen model year run. (And yes Hoovie is correct, 350,000 sold...actually 358,180). Another great video, and really love April's perspective hands down._
For me, the C4 holds a special place in my heart because these came out when I was a teenager and back then they were considered futuristic and bad-ass. I had a poster of a red C4 on my bedroom wall, alongside a Mercedes C126 coupe & a Porsche 928. I have since owned the Porsche & the Mercedes from my wall in years gone past, but never the C4.
Great Video. I have a 89 Corvette Coupe with 124,667 miles. It's been a reasonably reliable 35-year-old car. I freshened up the interior. I recently meet Steve Magnante and signed the rear deck on the interior. He loved it. Started doing his Barrett Jackson commutating about it. He was there with Wayne Carini, Mike Brewer and Mike Joy. BTW April looks good in that car.
@@mitchellgildea254 It's a really good description. They feel super predictable like a stiff board with wheels. You have a good feel of what the car will do in real time. No gismos are gonna save you.
20 years ago my parents split up, fast forward a few years my soon to be stepdad picked me up school in his maroon c4 Corvette, that day I was the coolest kid at the school and because of that I will always be a fan the c4
@nevco8774 When I was in Engineering School in the early 1980s, one of the more challenging conversions they had us do was to convert nanometers per millisecond to Furlongs per Fortnight! 🤠
We have white hair because we couldn't afford them when we were younger. Great episode!!!! I agree with you on the Calloway too. They are too expensive right now. BTW - I have a C3 that I've had for about 10 years.
When I was in Grade School in the 60s there was a time when they were going to switch to the Metric System. We were getting taught it , then all of a sudden mid year they said NEVER MIND .They switched back and we went back to normal.
It happened again in the 80s, but while I was in school they never switched back. I still have to Google how many cups are in a quart or pints in a gallon.
Wish they did. Our system is a joke... do I want to figure out what 3/16ths of an inch minus 5/8ths is while I'm cutting a board? Or would I rather figure out 50 millimeters minus 30 millimeters? Still boggles my mind we don't use the metric system.
I had a 1984 bought used in 1986. It was an automatic alas, but it was my daily for many years and never gave me a moment's grief. Was surprisingly good in snow as long as it wasn't deep enough to turn the air dam into a snowplow--a couple of times I very carefully backed it up to somebody who was stuck and got them unstuck. I had it over 140 a couple of times--it felt rock-stable at that speed, no drama at all. Took many 1000+ mile drives in it and it was a comfortable cruiser. Heat wasn't great--don't know if that was a design issue or if there was an issue with mine. Might get another one at some point, although a C8 is tempting. Paid about 14K for mine IIRC.
The C4 is the first "modern" Corvette from which all future Corvettes were born from until C8. C4 still holds land speed records and dominated SCCA sports car racing to the point a separate series had to be developed for it. The C4 isn't fiberglass and it doesn't get spider web cracking. The more Corvettes don't look like Corvettes anymore the more I love the clean lines and look of my 93 Coupe. Hatchback Coupes have more room for luggage.

@@C4VETTELT1 I don't think I've ever seen an original euro spec Corvette in my life here in Europe. 99% of them are later imported from US. The thing is, we can import basically anything and it doesn't have to be 25 years old, we can import even brand new cars. Also used cars in US are super cheap compared to most european countries, shipping is expensive though. Still makes sense financially. So yeah, they can be everywhere and they are everywhere.
@Krzysztof_88 they got um! They were definitely sold there! They were sold in tons of places but they didn't get bought up like hotcakes here! So again it's not like here and I know they are most everywhere!! I already said they were sold worldwide basically. Lol but thanks for the comment
I've got a 1996 Ford SVT Cobra with the 4.6 modular 4v, which feels similar. It's amazingly analog, elemental, and mechanical. Smooth is relative, but nothing has as much sound character as American V-8s.
a 94-96 with the Targa top are the best ones. Great visibility, weather sealed, quiet interior, 300HP, both mine got 25 mpg on long trips ( both were 4 sp auto ) and they had so much room for luggage and golf clubs. The convertibles had just a tiny shelf under the top area, much like the 1969 I also owned. My 94 and then 95 Vettes also had proximity keys and tire pressure monitor system.
I owned the same 89 corvette with the white top and replaced it with a black top, it looked so much better after replacing the top. The C4 was so futurastic for its day and was a very well made car. Mine had the automatic and it got great gas mileage. Someday they will start appreciating and if you own one, i'd keep it.
There is a '83 Corvette. It's in the museum in Bowling Green. There were production delays, so they cancelled the '83. They had built a few of them (can't remember the number) and GM ordered them crushed. I guess someone hid one and it's now in the museum. I do remember that the last of the C3's we're done in the new Bowling Green plant. Corvette had been built in St. Louis. I like the convertible body better on the C3, C4, C5 and C6. I never liked the bubble rear glass that they started on the '78. It only looked good on the '63. I actually preferred the convertible on the C2 as well. They finally got the Coupe right on the C7 IMO.
Nope. Both wrong. Two C4 went in the sink hole. A 1993 Ruby that had been donated to the museum, it was not restored. And the 1,000,000th built Corvette, a white/red convertible 1992 that was recovered, repaired and restored by GM "Styling". I put styling in quotes because I don't recall the exact entity that did the work, but the restoration was completed in-house at GM facilities. There's no such thing as a 1984 Pace Car, because the Corvette did not pace Indy in 1984.
@@davep800 The Bowling Green Daily News reports that the sinkhole, said to be about 20 ft. deep and 30 to 40 ft. in diameter, triggered motion-detector alarms at 5:38 AM in the dome area of the museum. The eight cars claimed by the sinkhole include the 1993 ZR-1 Spyder, a 2009 "Blue Devil" ZR1, a black 1962 roadster, a 1984 PPG Pace Car, the 1 Millionth Corvette (a white '92 model), a 1993 40th Anniversary Corvette, a 2001 Mallett Hammer Corvette Z06, and the 1.5 Millionth Corvette (a white '09 car). The two ZR1s were on loan from General Motors, while the rest of the cars were owned by the museum.
I am the proud and current owner of a 95 C4 ... its an awesome car , makes all the right noises when the gas is pushed and its a convertible to boot so who can argue with that !! Daily driven and rarely does it go out without someone honking or chatting at a red light !!
Exactly! Anyone who says these are the worst vettes never drove one, yes an 84 is pretty pathetic but that’s not chevy’s fault it was regulations that forced their hands try driving a 81 or 82 they’re literally garage. My dad has a 96 w/74k it’s such a badass ride ppl are so desensitized these days his car has 300 hp And it’s plenty of power for 3k lbs car and it handles like a rollercoaster
I have nearly the exact same car (black top, black interior) and I'm so happy I don't need to worry about resale value because I'll never sell. The car was my dad's. I was 8 when he picked it up from the dealership. It was his "American dream." Now it's mine and I get to drive my kids around in it. I understand why a lot of car people don't respect the C4, especially since so many were made, but for a lot of us they are special cars that I think have aged well, styling and handling wise.
Hoovie you of all seem like c4 folk the c4 is literally my favorite I grew up in one and still have the exact car I grew up in! I'm honestly contemplating Monterey next year in my 87!
I drove a 95 C4 for a long time and I loved it. My only gripe about the car would have been the rubber coating on the face of the dash. That stuff was crap! Fun car MPG was pretty nice loved the Targa top.
On the C4 coupes, they turned into flexible flyers when you took the roof off. C5’s were better, but C6 is the sweet spot for me. Most comfortable ones made. I had a 1996 C4 LT4. Best engine except for the ZR1 on the C4 line
I wanted to be judgmental when I heard part of the story, but after watching this video, I gotta be honest… I think most people would have left their wife and kids for her. Damn.
Elder millennial here (late 30s)! I would love to have one of these. It doesn't need to be fast, just a comfortable cruiser. Also, metric is the superior measurement.
Hoovie is a lucky dude. Actress/supermodel who really likes him AND is into cool cars that don’t cost huge amounts (well, there is the GNX I guess). Life is good. I’ll wave to you folks at Barrett-Jackson next month.
He's been an actual saint in dozens of previous lives probably. Jackpot. Imagine telling your mates that you're going to buy a boring old farmstead in Kansas and there's a total car nut practicing supermodel that's going to be all over you and your cars.
Got one. It's fast handles well, Got 17k in it, Cant give it away! This is a 96, 300 hp go cart. Very good gas mileage and 160 top end. Going to scrap yard soon.
I made lots of money fixing all of the electrical issues on these cars, still occasionally one comes in nowadays if it's been mostly kept inside. Working under the dash and pretzeling over the rockers is the most fun ever!
I'm British and have a soft spot for Corvettes as well. The C4 was my childhood one with stuff like the A-Team. And that digital dash as silly as it is really would really make it for me. But also like Tyler I think the C1 is just so pretty. Restomodded or even EV swapped I would daily that thing.
I got a 1996 LT4 6 speed black on black about 6 months ago and I'm in my early 40's. It's a blast to drive and so cheap compared to anything else that can compare. I see the market going up in the future but who knows!
Drove a coupe for 20+ years. Fun car but the interior didn't hold up well; also around 100k miles it lost the tranny and later the rear diff. I like the coupe better because you get more cargo space and can still take the top off (and store in the back!).
asked my trusty Vette mechanic (Mark @ Titus-Will in Olympia, WA, he is amazing, been my mechanic through six Vettes since 2003, did a body off rotisserie rebuild of a C2 for the dealership owner) what is the most difficult series to work on and he replied without reservation the C4 because of the electrical systems which were brand new tech for chevy. Many problems and tough to trace.....
Of all the "normal" C4's (not including Callaways, Grand Sports or ZO6's), the '89 is my personal favorite. L98- less power than the LT1, but no Opti-spark, ZF 6MT available, with the classic interior and dash as well as the pre-refresh exterior. If that 'vert had the ZF, it would be ideal.
C4 prices are correct. I've owned a C4 (one of the best of that generation, a '96 LT4 manual convertible, polo green w/ tan interior), sold it, bought a '14 C7 coupe a year later. The C4 felt like a go kart on steroids. It was fun to drive fast, but sucked to actually drive somewhere. One of the best garage queens I've ever owned with that gorgeous coke bottle shape and the clamshell hood (pure gearhead porn), I could sit in my garage and just stare at it for hours. Starting it up and putting it in gear would put a smile on your face... for about 10 minutes. And then the squeeks, rattles, hard plastic, and generally cheezy interior just got old. The C7 still had the Corvette vibe but was a much, much better *car*... a genuine grand touring car with performance that put the C4 to shame
My son bought an '89, 6-speed with 66k miles for $7500 in 2019 for his first car. We couldn't find anything as nice for the money. He still has it.
@@hangfire6368 he likes it?

@@C4VETTELT1 mostly everywhere. I'm from Europe an I know people from every country here drive Corvettes
@@C4VETTELT1 I don't think I've ever seen an original euro spec Corvette in my life here in Europe. 99% of them are later imported from US. The thing is, we can import basically anything and it doesn't have to be 25 years old, we can import even brand new cars. Also used cars in US are super cheap compared to most european countries, shipping is expensive though. Still makes sense financially. So yeah, they can be everywhere and they are everywhere.
@Krzysztof_88 they got um! They were definitely sold there! They were sold in tons of places but they didn't get bought up like hotcakes here! So again it's not like here and I know they are most everywhere!! I already said they were sold worldwide basically. Lol but thanks for the comment
These two are perfect for each other
I've got a 1996 Ford SVT Cobra with the 4.6 modular 4v, which feels similar. It's amazingly analog, elemental, and mechanical. Smooth is relative, but nothing has as much sound character as American V-8s.
a 94-96 with the Targa top are the best ones. Great visibility, weather sealed, quiet interior, 300HP, both mine got 25 mpg on long trips ( both were 4 sp auto )
and they had so much room for luggage and golf clubs. The convertibles had just a tiny shelf under the top area, much like the 1969 I also owned. My 94 and then 95 Vettes also had proximity keys and tire pressure monitor system.
I owned the same 89 corvette with the white top and replaced it with a black top, it looked so much better after replacing the top. The C4 was so futurastic for its day and was a very well made car. Mine had the automatic and it got great gas mileage. Someday they will start appreciating and if you own one, i'd keep it.
There is a '83 Corvette. It's in the museum in Bowling Green. There were production delays, so they cancelled the '83. They had built a few of them (can't remember the number) and GM ordered them crushed. I guess someone hid one and it's now in the museum. I do remember that the last of the C3's we're done in the new Bowling Green plant. Corvette had been built in St. Louis.
I like the convertible body better on the C3, C4, C5 and C6. I never liked the bubble rear glass that they started on the '78. It only looked good on the '63. I actually preferred the convertible on the C2 as well. They finally got the Coupe right on the C7 IMO.
This was the car in 1984-Mary Lou Retton commercial is iconic
fact: there is 1 1983 Corvette in existence, it was one of the cars swallowed by the sinkhole in the Corvette museum
nope, it was not one of the Corvettes swallowed in the sinkhole. There was an ‘84 Pace Car that was involved but not the ‘83.
Nope. Both wrong. Two C4 went in the sink hole. A 1993 Ruby that had been donated to the museum, it was not restored. And the 1,000,000th built Corvette, a white/red convertible 1992 that was recovered, repaired and restored by GM "Styling". I put styling in quotes because I don't recall the exact entity that did the work, but the restoration was completed in-house at GM facilities.
There's no such thing as a 1984 Pace Car, because the Corvette did not pace Indy in 1984.
@@davep800 The Bowling Green Daily News reports that the sinkhole, said to be about 20 ft. deep and 30 to 40 ft. in diameter, triggered motion-detector alarms at 5:38 AM in the dome area of the museum. The eight cars claimed by the sinkhole include the 1993 ZR-1 Spyder, a 2009 "Blue Devil" ZR1, a black 1962 roadster, a 1984 PPG Pace Car, the 1 Millionth Corvette (a white '92 model), a 1993 40th Anniversary Corvette, a 2001 Mallett Hammer Corvette Z06, and the 1.5 Millionth Corvette (a white '09 car). The two ZR1s were on loan from General Motors, while the rest of the cars were owned by the museum.
My dad has a zr1! C4. The vette is a weapon.
I am the proud and current owner of a 95 C4 ... its an awesome car , makes all the right noises when the gas is pushed and its a convertible to boot so who can argue with that !! Daily driven and rarely does it go out without someone honking or chatting at a red light !!
Exactly! Anyone who says these are the worst vettes never drove one, yes an 84 is pretty pathetic but that’s not chevy’s fault it was regulations that forced their hands try driving a 81 or 82 they’re literally garage. My dad has a 96 w/74k it’s such a badass ride ppl are so desensitized these days his car has 300 hp And it’s plenty of power for 3k lbs car and it handles like a rollercoaster
The April's Garage segments are the best. She's an absolute natural at it!
Cannot comment on the performance but this is my favorite looking Corvette. Convertible for cruising 👍
I have nearly the exact same car (black top, black interior) and I'm so happy I don't need to worry about resale value because I'll never sell. The car was my dad's. I was 8 when he picked it up from the dealership. It was his "American dream." Now it's mine and I get to drive my kids around in it. I understand why a lot of car people don't respect the C4, especially since so many were made, but for a lot of us they are special cars that I think have aged well, styling and handling wise.
I love these reviews :)
Hoovie you of all seem like c4 folk the c4 is literally my favorite I grew up in one and still have the exact car I grew up in! I'm honestly contemplating Monterey next year in my 87!
I’d rock that thing wearing my Sketcher slip-ons!
I drove a 95 C4 for a long time and I loved it. My only gripe about the car would have been the rubber coating on the face of the dash. That stuff was crap! Fun car MPG was pretty nice loved the Targa top.
I have always wanted to drive one of these. I love April’s garage she is awesome.
April in a C4 Vette is every 60 year old man's dream 😂😂
On the C4 coupes, they turned into flexible flyers when you took the roof off. C5’s were better, but C6 is the sweet spot for me. Most comfortable ones made. I had a 1996 C4 LT4. Best engine except for the ZR1 on the C4 line
i had a 93 for 22 years and swapped it for a C6. i am in heaven when i drive it
I wanted to be judgmental when I heard part of the story, but after watching this video, I gotta be honest… I think most people would have left their wife and kids for her.
Damn.
I lv it . I want a 96 the last yr of a C4.
Ok April is full on legit for 2:01. Bravo!
I have a fully optioned 89 with the road race package (Z51) and even with only 245 hp it is still quick !
Good seeing a fello broski happy and living his best life 😏👍
C4 is a blast from my teenage years.
Speaking of broader appeal Hoovie, i'm hoping the girlfriend will be appearing regularly in future videos.
Elder millennial here (late 30s)! I would love to have one of these. It doesn't need to be fast, just a comfortable cruiser. Also, metric is the superior measurement.
Hoovie is a lucky dude. Actress/supermodel who really likes him AND is into cool cars that don’t cost huge amounts (well, there is the GNX I guess). Life is good. I’ll wave to you folks at Barrett-Jackson next month.
Everyone said the same thing about her many previous boyfriends too. 😅
He's been an actual saint in dozens of previous lives probably. Jackpot.
Imagine telling your mates that you're going to buy a boring old farmstead in Kansas and there's a total car nut practicing supermodel that's going to be all over you and your cars.
He is a Simp. Nothing lucky about that!
She likes his MONEY‼️
@@wstlndiesel Jealous much, fake Cody?
thank u for saying mean things to other country people!
Wait there was a car in this video? 🤷🏼♂️🤦♂️ I totally missed it 🥰
I got to say she looks great in that vette. It's definitely her style ❤
C4 is my favourite Corvette. I love the chemistry between Tyler and April.
I’d love one of these, here in the UK. There are a few about already, but don’t often come up for sale!
Got one. It's fast handles well, Got 17k in it, Cant give it away! This is a 96, 300 hp go cart. Very good gas mileage and 160 top end. Going to scrap yard soon.
I made lots of money fixing all of the electrical issues on these cars, still occasionally one comes in nowadays if it's been mostly kept inside. Working under the dash and pretzeling over the rockers is the most fun ever!
I'm British and have a soft spot for Corvettes as well. The C4 was my childhood one with stuff like the A-Team. And that digital dash as silly as it is really would really make it for me. But also like Tyler I think the C1 is just so pretty. Restomodded or even EV swapped I would daily that thing.
I got a 1996 LT4 6 speed black on black about 6 months ago and I'm in my early 40's. It's a blast to drive and so cheap compared to anything else that can compare. I see the market going up in the future but who knows!
I bought my first C4 Corvette in 2001 at 21 and own 3 C4's and 1 C3. Sold only the one 87 C4.
Drove a coupe for 20+ years. Fun car but the interior didn't hold up well; also around 100k miles it lost the tranny and later the rear diff. I like the coupe better because you get more cargo space and can still take the top off (and store in the back!).
asked my trusty Vette mechanic (Mark @ Titus-Will in Olympia, WA, he is amazing, been my mechanic through six Vettes since 2003, did a body off rotisserie rebuild of a C2 for the dealership owner) what is the most difficult series to work on and he replied without reservation the C4 because of the electrical systems which were brand new tech for chevy. Many problems and tough to trace.....
Great video I love the old school vet and April makes a great couple with the love of car ❤
I had a 1995 blk,blk 6spd cpe back in the early 2000's. I was young and having fun.!! Fun car. Truly not bad on gas mileage. I have been looking(ZR1)😮
C4 ZR-1 is hands down THEE best driving Corvette. Everything after was made for fat people.
Great looking car.
She looks perfect in it.
There is one 1983 Corvette, and it resides in the Corvette Museum.
Of all the "normal" C4's (not including Callaways, Grand Sports or ZO6's), the '89 is my personal favorite. L98- less power than the LT1, but no Opti-spark, ZF 6MT available, with the classic interior and dash as well as the pre-refresh exterior. If that 'vert had the ZF, it would be ideal.
Tyler is the GOAT, April is the GOATEE 😆 that C4 is in nice shape on first appearances.
C4 prices are correct. I've owned a C4 (one of the best of that generation, a '96 LT4 manual convertible, polo green w/ tan interior), sold it, bought a '14 C7 coupe a year later. The C4 felt like a go kart on steroids. It was fun to drive fast, but sucked to actually drive somewhere. One of the best garage queens I've ever owned with that gorgeous coke bottle shape and the clamshell hood (pure gearhead porn), I could sit in my garage and just stare at it for hours. Starting it up and putting it in gear would put a smile on your face... for about 10 minutes. And then the squeeks, rattles, hard plastic, and generally cheezy interior just got old.
The C7 still had the Corvette vibe but was a much, much better *car*... a genuine grand touring car with performance that put the C4 to shame
C4 is in my opinion of the best Vette
I’ve had mine since 1996 and still like it more than a C8s
I thought Tyler had a 1991 ZR1 for a minute. Nice video.
