1984 Chevrolet Corvette targa review from Italy
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dealer promised to change all doors and roof gaskets, and after 3 years I had to order them for $600.
Some interior lights had to be replaced.
This year radiator started to lose coolant liquid making the engine to blow on warm days like a hot soup.
Brakes need to be checked.
Alternator does not work properly.
General comments?
Same old story. You buy a used car from a 100 tooth smile dealer and seems it never ends surprising your wallet. After all it's an old one and who knows what had been changed or modified to make it look new.
But oh well, that's how it is with used bergains.
After all it's a great sport classic car still able to catch attentions from anywhere (expecially women) affordable with a reasonable price, even if those 80s low performance engines should be replaced with something new.
I think this is one of the slowest Corvettes because of the old Crossfire Injection (from 79 to 86 I guess) but still kicks ass!
