1978 Corvette (rare metallic brown)
I have an original 1978 25th Anniversary corvette with 52,000 original miles. L-48 350/auto numbers matching motor. Brand new brake pads and calipers. I also replaced the alternator as well as the thermostat housing. The paint is in good shape for being as old as it is, but the car looks beautiful. The frame is in great shape, no major rust anywhere. All the brake lines and fuel lines are good. The interior is in excellent shape but the seats could use a little bit of work. The dash panel and doors are really nice, and, aren't faded. Less than 5% of the cars made that year came in this color and having the matching brown leather interior makes it even nicer. I bought this car from the same owner who's had it since 1980. He drove it for 9 years and parked it in the garage. The plates still have the 89 stickers on them!

Are you selling? If so, you will need to post a price or risk this post getting closed by the moderators.
I haven't seen a brown car in a while. This one held up very well. GLWS.
