79 vette for sale (selling as is):
• $4,500 (paid $12,000 for the car back in 2009; not trying to
make a profit)
• 350 small block
• Automatic
• White outside; black interior
• T-tops
• Tinted windows
• Security system
• 82 front and rear fascia
• Flowmaster exhaust system (summer of 2011)
Reason for selling:
• Lost desire to work on the car
• More at home with my mid size cars
• Cannot afford a third car any longer
• Impulse purchase
What I have done
• Changed engine oil
• Changed differential oil
• Replaced alternator
• Replaced radiator (aluminum)
• Replaced fan shroud
• Replaced spark plugs and wires (currently yellow JEG wires – 8.5 mm)
• Replaced fuel pump; fuel filter within carb; associated
fuel f ilter hoses; and fuel line to carb
• Replaced heater hoses
• Replaced the low frequency horn
• Replaced the battery (4 months ago)
• Added hose shut off valve
• Added two cheap speakers in the back
• Replaced the moulding in the area of the rear portion of
the windows
• Replaced the protective mesh under the hood
What is wrong with the car
• Prior owner-installed radio has no bass control;
therefore there is a “tinny” sound
• High beam indicator on the instrument panel is on when low
beam lights are on
• High beam indicator on the instrument panel is off when the
high beam lights are on
• Driver side kick panel needs to be replaced
• Steering wheel horn has never worked (actual horns were
tested with a jumper wire and are working; have not
replaced the horn relay)
• Goodyear Eagle tires are old and should be replaced. As a
result the car wobbles when first started. The wobble
ceases after the car has run for awhile
• Car was originally equipped with AC; I purchased the car
with the compressor bracket; but no compressor
• Heater controls do not seem to function
• Crack in windshield (my fault for trying to close the hood
with a tape measure between it and the glass)
• Left turn signal works; right turn signal does not blink. The
light just illuminates and stays constant
• Driver’s side portion of the hood does not sit down flush.
Some times that same side will pop up from the hinge and
open when driving
• Noticed on 8/11/2013 that there is a slight oil leak. Have not
determined the cause yet.

This seems ... ridiculously cheap. Free bump for you. As for that "bass control" just poke at the menus some more. It has to be in there. It sounds like the car has a few relatively minor issues. Rinky dink replacement and repair. Great deal for someone!
