1984 Chevrolet Corvette Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 1984 Chevrolet Corvette was the first of the fourth generation (C4). It featured a complete redesign with the exception of the driveline. It was well-received by both consumers and press, and was highly praised for its tight cornering, aerodynamic appearance, and overall performance.
The base engine remained a 350-ci V8 rated at 205 horsepower. Again, no other choices were available. Buyers could choose a 4+3 transmission, an unusual configuration which combined a 4-speed manual with an automatic overdrive on the top three gears.

This Vet is in descent condition. It handles well but has a lot of rattles. The side-mirror control switch does not work correctly. Also, one of the motors on the drivers seat is broken. All things considered, especially how difficult it can be to find switches, I think the price is too high.Jul 28, 2021

This Vette has been highly modified so you know. The crossfire motor, which I think was not the best , was removed and replaced with a 350 out of a 78. an EZFI Fast Fuel fuel injection system has been installed. The transmission was rebuilt and the motor has been modified. As the vehicle sits now, she has about 400HP and she can move! There's not a lot of extra space, you can certainly feel the road when your driving so if your tushy is sensitive, take another car. If you want a race car that you can drive on the street and you want to be loud while you're doing it then this is a good pick for you.Apr 16, 2015

I love tha car. It is up there in age, however, if you skilled in working on cars, not a problem. I have done most of the rubber seals, reconditioned the top, and tuned the engine up. I also redid the brake system.Apr 15, 2015

old style car with all the new ideas that came out in84, digital dash, crossfire fuel injected LT one, high tourqe low horsepower 350cid. Car performes just as you would think a corvette should. definetly years ahead of vettes before it in comfort and handeling.She runs strong with 25,000 miles on a total rebuild and new R7 tranny,I have enjoyed this car for 8 years now and have had very little trouble with it.I would recommend a C4 to anyone who loves sport cars.Jan 13, 2014

Nothing to dislike, The 84 Corvette is the best looking, best handling, for the money!!!! The Quality talks to you when you drive it.The cross fire fuel injection runs perfect.The C4 handling is the best with rack and pinion steering.
The 4/3 auto transmission is excellent, what more can i say, go buy one!! Check it out! The 1984 Corvette was rated.. Top 10 BEST Corvettes ever built!!Aug 03, 2013

The Z51 suspension is stiff but handles well. The glass top is best for spring and fall. In the summer it lets in too much heat. The hatch back gives a lot more cargo room than you would expect and it is drivable in the winter on winter tires.Aug 01, 2013

All I have to do is blink and I have passed you!!! Plus it is not a gas hog like many think. Haven't had to make many repairs and it is 26 years old! Not bad for a sports car.Aug 05, 2010

This car is just amazing to drive in. The 4+3 manual transmission makes for extremely fast aceleration and great gas mileage(28 highway). There hasnt been too much wrong with this car save for a few things in the 25 years its been in my family. Overall an amazing cruising car.Jul 06, 2009

This is an awsome car to drive. The engine's tourque is amazing. I have a 4+3 manual transmission that works great. I have owned this car for fourteen years and have a little above average maintance on it. This vette handles better than any other car that I have driven. The cross-fire setup has been problem free all of these years.Mar 25, 2009

They are what they are...and they aren't a whole lot. Did everything that GM built in the 80's suck?
My father bought this as his first Corvette. He had been a Vette fan since he was young. A poor choice as his first in my opinion. It's the Vette that anyone can own and everyone does. It's a Camaro on steroids. A far cry from the sleek shark style of the 60s and 70s.
It moves, but not how a Corvette should. Of course it handles better than its predecessors, but what didn't handle better than the muscle cars of the 70's?Jul 31, 2008

This is a fun car to drive - plenty of power and sticks to the road like it's on a rail. Just put new tires on it and it feels like it has a new suspension.Nov 03, 2007

I have owend my 84 for over three years, replaces all the standard stuff plus rebiult the automatic transmission, I also have a restored 1979 Corvette that I build the 350 to 400 HP that really moves, but what my 84 lacks in the power department it makes up for in handling and comfort..... to boot she get 25 MPG highway and a sold 14 MPG in city with the air !Aug 05, 2007
