C4 General Discussion - unibody or body on frame - hey all. i'm new to the Corvette world recently purchasing a 1988 convertible. i was wondering though if it rides on a unibody construction or body on frame. i have a book that says the 84 thru 86 models were unibodies and the 87 and up models were changed to body on...
C4 suspension requires C4 engine placement due to high r&p mounting in front of crank damper. Using either a C4 front suspension and frame (such as it is) or that suspension/steering with a fabricated frame in a normal car, you'd have to be able to live with either moving the front seat 2/3rds of the way to where the back seat is, or have an engine box in the stock firewall location which ...
Re: How to take a body off of a C4 Corvette frame Just bring it to me and tell me how much of the car you want left. I'm sure it's nothing a sawzall and some cutting wheels won't cure. I'm sure it's nothing a sawzall and some cutting wheels won't cure.
The cars had hit that point in their cycle of existence that they had no value and are basically a rolling joke. As these things go, that part of the cycle is long one and the C4 Corvette is making a legit comeback in the hearts and minds of car loving people everywhere.

The stock TPI engine lasted a while but a budget deal on a LS engine was too good to pass up, and again, discovered electronically via a friend’s Facebook page. The addition of a full compliment of Ride Tech suspension pieces has allowed this C4 Corvette to really rip between the cones.
The idea that one Corvette was spared when GM is legitimately brutal about destroying pre-production vehicles is a bit odd. Remember, this is a company that went hell-bent when it came time to recover all of the GM EV1 electric vehicles that they were demanding back, and they were seriously stout when it came to making them museum pieces that ...
C4 to C5 was really something and C6 to C7 was monster. Then came the C8 that changed it all. Looking back to an era where 16-second cars were fast, and when the most important things that Corvette did was to add and openable glass hatch, stickers, and an oil temperature gauge to the car, the C8 seems even more titanic a move forward.
In the back of my mind, I've always thought it would be fun to snag an early C4 and put an upgraded engine in it. The chassis has potential and you can buy a used C4 relatively cheap. Comment
