At $1000 thats a darn good deal, the 84 is a frequently used car for this as the suspensions fairly stiff and because of the one year use of the cross-fire injection most guys detest, they tend to be cheaper.
most guys install an aftermarket ignition,injection controller or go with carbs and install new gauges to the 1984-91 make an excellent base to start from, youll most likely do a interior and exterior paint upgrade so the less than ideal condition is not a huge deterant

yes started sanding and preping for fiberglass work so i could prime it. i was told i dont wanna get any greese on the bare fiberglass so once i have it in prime i'll start my BBC swap. i sent my big block to the machine shop while i do the body work. and trying to gather my parts for the swap.i bought my new oil pan, and Aluminum timing cover gonna order my Aluminum water pump some other things soon but i want to try to wait till corvettes at carlise before i get anything for the car itself, like headers, seats seat belts steering wheel and some other int. stuff. i saw a post on here about a guy who put new C6 wheels on his C4 and i love the look so i will look for C6 wheels at Carlise for my vette. i cant wait to get going on the Engine swap :D Grumpy i will be picking your brain on questions i have along the way hope you dont mind lol. As i go i'll take alot of pics to post...
