Great Video ! I really hope my C4 (which has working doorlocks thanks to you, Mark!) will never go that way and be dismantled. Greetings from Germany. Oliver
Question please. I’ve ridden street motorcycles since 1974 but now turning 70 I’ve made the decision to go with 4 wheeled twisty road entertainment. Because of cost, I’m considering the C4 generation corvette. I’m hearing horror stories on the lack of rigidity on the C4 unibody frame. I’ve been a knee-dragging fast apex guy with my motorcycles, and I’m only looking for a car that goes around corners good and can be reliable. Is the C4 rigidity so bad that it would detract from having fun in the car? Also I believe it has the body panels being glued onto the frame from what I understand. Any advice for getting or not getting a C4 would be greatly appreciated. I really enjoyed the C4 teardown - excellent. Thank you again. Joe
Get a lower mileage '96 6-speed manual that has the LT4, preferably GS or CE. The best performers are ZR-1s, I have one, but they are special and may require you be a bit mechanically enclined. Yes, all C4s have rigidity issues but that is rectified by installing the Vette-2-Vette frame stiffening kit. All in all they are super reliable and tons of fun and if your semi-athletic it shouldn't be difficult getting in and out.
It's almost heartbreaking to see this c4 get taken apart. I own a 1990 black on black convertible and would never do something like this to mine. Great video anyways.
The couple that teardowns together stays together... well done. 👍
Fantastic Video Mark and Brooke!!
Thanks so much!
great Video, Mark and Brooke

Dam .., just watched the video . this is absolute heresy !
My hazard switch will not stay in the steering column. 1994 base . Any ideas of why and parts to replace?
When will the installation vide0 be done
I see the Build Sheet on the right side of the gas tank!!!
Wait the body and frame are glued together in the middle? I was always under the impression that it was a body on frame car.
Agreed, I thought so too…Answer???
Sad. One less 6-Speed car left in the wild.
It's a 1994....which part does not belong with the others? 🤔
It's killing me watch this
