It's the 80's music that is so fitting for this detail.

[@machinegundroner9411]

Gotta love the 80's music with this vid. It's so appropriate.

[@matthewj.9874]

Digging all the 80’s music in this detail!! Love this car!!

[@StaufferGarage]

Hell yes!

[@KDashGames15]

I said same thing out loud. Glad I went down and check if someone else wrote the comment.

[@shawnstandiford7207]

These old barn finds are so cool. The guy won't sell, but will let it rot and do nothing to it.

[@StaufferGarage]

Atleast this one I know is getting picked up today and taken to get the engine running!

[@mazda_rt24-p]

it's not that easy

[@shawnstandiford7207]

@Trent Riley im sure they have thier reasons. But im not the type of person to hold onto something i dont use. Just me though.

[@FormerArea51]

I have my dad’s cool car (71 Buick GS) sitting and collecting dust under a cover and car port. Can’t afford to get it up and going with 2 youngsters and a stay at home wife. I hate it but I’m not getting rid of the last thing that has this kind of memories. 😢

[@djbazinet8758]

My mother in law has an atv that belonged to her late husband and won’t part with it and let’s it sit out in the yard a go to waste. It’s all she has left of him so I totally understand. Everyone has their reasons. May not be the reason that makes sense to you but to them, it does.

[@Nick-wk2xo]

I wanted a corvette so bad when I was in highschool. And yes, the interior looks like a cockpit. Also love music choice, very 80's

[@BTGLEE]

Best music I’ve ever heard on a detailing channel by far. None of the typical dub stuff. Thank you!

[@StaufferGarage]

Thats what I was hoping, getting tired of it myself! Did you see the most recent video? Changed it up in that one too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKW9XpVurr2le80

[@zadtrax]

Actually, the four or five selector switches on the center panel change what is displayed on the main instrument cluster just above the speedometer, gauge and gas gauge. Not on the center screen.

[@jaydawg1721]

I'm loving the 80s style rock you have playing while you clean the car omg!!! Really enjoyed this video!!!

[@StaufferGarage]

Glad you liked it!!

[@nnadozie6190]

The soundtrack to this detail had such an 80s vibe! It fits the car👌🏽

[@vikingtrad3r]

Nice Vid. A couple things to correct, 1. the doors are not metal. There are metal "crash bars" inside the door but the door is smc same as the rest, they never rust. There is a steel part under the seats. That is all. 2. The toggle switches you refer to do not post information to the right as you guessed. Rather they post information to the small center portion of the LCD dash. The screen you thought it posted to, is actually your "information center" aka idiot lights. and 3, that is a 1985 corvette not an 84. Cheers! Love the c4 content, they are crazy value cars. nice before and afters!

[@shadencrin]

I was actually about to post the same thing, haha! I see there's another corvette lover here. Just so everyone knows, the 84 had a cross fire injection motor, while the 85 was switched to a tune port injected motor (L98). In 92 they switched the motor to the beefier LT1 motor (not to be confused with the current 1LT motor that is in the current c8s

Something is so peaceful about watching someone give the love and attention to a car that it deserves. I'm sure you treat your family with the same care. By the way, you look familiar!

[@kaikaichile]

The matching 80's music gives me life hahaha!!

[@86_corolla84]

Talk about finding a good detailing channel that has the right tunes for the right vehicle detail. Synthwave and a 80's/90's vehicle just go well together. Now those skills, God has blessed you. You really keep someone entertained with your capabilities, 10/10 highly recommend. Subbed🔥

[@StaufferGarage]

Wow, thanks!

[@bigfatopossum2974]

Like the music, really adds to the experience 😉

[@StaufferGarage]

Yes! first person to mention that! I was laughing my arse off when I was editing it. It fit perfectly lol

[@freyjagunnar1532]

The Corvette C4 were in production from January 3, 1983-June 20, 1996. What a timeless classics they were......👍

[@StaufferGarage]

Crazy they were in production that long!

[@xxmoneymunozxx]

Awesome detail. It’s cool to see this type of car come across the channel. Great way to start the Sunday!

[@StaufferGarage]

Heck yeah dude! Enjoy!

[@markg3506]

C4, prettiest model in my opinion

[@hellogawgous]

I assume the music is free public domain but it fits the car theme so well!!!

[@lightworker4813]

The soundtrack is great! Definitely fits for an 85. I enjoyed watching this. Excellent job!

[@StaufferGarage]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@whatwilliwatch3405]

I don't really think of myself as a car enthusiast, but I definitely have a soft spot for Corvettes. (I attribute it to having one for my Barbies back when I was a kid - I think the good memories associated with playtime kind of bled into an association with the vehicle itself, lol.) So that makes this before/after particularly enjoyable for me. Even if it's not perfect, it still looks amazing compared to what it was at the beginning of the detail.

[@StaufferGarage]

Haha same here!

[@Trouba315]

This video was pleasure to watch. My favorite car brand/type and great music on the background. Such stylish and contemporary for C4's era. Wonderful work. Greetings from Czech Republic

[@StaufferGarage]

[@perrostupido]

That 80's background music is just spot on in this detail!

[@harshabiliangady3211]

Awesomely done job. Who in his right mind would abandon a beauty like that?

[@ScrappersDetailing]

Great job. Looked like the carpet was great quality with a nice pile so I bet it was actually enjoyable to get cleaned. Yeah that paint is gonna need some work to bring back or maybe even be redone.

[@StaufferGarage]

Yes it was, super easily to restore. Paint was a different story

[@brettweltz8135]

My father owned a 95 Corvette convertible. There’s a long story to it. This just sent me down memory lane. Thank you.

[@sprezzatura8755]

Corvette C4 is one of the last sports car bargains out there. Tons to choose frorm, but be selective, as many were ridden hard and put away wet. Stick shift car...great find!

The center of the dash “screen” you are referring to is actually where all the warning lights are, all the toggle switches give you all that info in the center section of the gauge cluster

Maybe up close but electric pressure washers are only ~2100 psi (mine is) and at 10” away you can spray your hand and it doesn’t hurt

There are hundreds and thousands of C4's. That said, it kills me to see any abandoned. I just restored my 87 C4. It is a beauty and priced tens of thousands under the competition. As for the seats, there is a simple wire lever that you push up on an the lower cushion pops out for easy access w/o having to unbolt the frame. C4's Rock!

[@kennycox3186]

Hello, I do value that you do the cars for free, your time and commitment is not free, being you could be doing something else. I like the video but I would have love seeing you wet sand and complete the paint restoration process. Would have loved to see that car glisten. Thanks and I hope I wasn’t that negative.

[@StaufferGarage]

Not at all, owner had plans for the paint and said give it a go but don’t go crazy. My content pays the bills so that’s why doing it for free works out
