84's are not the best, but they are not the worst. Because that was the first of the C4's, chevy didn't exactly have everything they wanted out of a C4 right yet. There was a couple of things the "vette crowd" didn't like about the eighty four. It was criticized for having too stiff of a suspension, even with the Z-51 suspension package, the performance one. It also did not have the Tuned Port Injection motor, which is started in eighty five, and its hp was rated at 205 with the Cross-fire throttle body injection. Also, the interior was a down point for most of the corvette guys.

But, despite the criticism it can be a nice car. With some nice bolt-ons the car can be making some nice power. Then some suspension upgrades and it will handle very nicely. If the deal is good enough, it can be something worth having, its all up to you. Just watch out for bad grounds and bad alternators.

It also by far the start of the ugliest Generation of Corvettes. Stingray ended in 82, no Vette in 83. Ugly Vette in 84.

If you find an 83, I'll GLADY take it off your hands provided it is a true 83. Then I'll sell it on Barret Jackson for a million bucks.

There's only 1 '83 in existence... and it's sitting at the NCM. I'd pass on it unless it's been a show car. Otherwise it's a POS
