Default WTB 1978-1982 red or black manual vette up to 19k

Looking for what's in the title. I'd like to find one with a newer crate motor with 350+hp and the drive train to go with it and everything else up to date. I'm willing to pay up to 19k for one depending on the quality.
Thanks

Your profile is blank so I'm guessing this is a nationwide request. You can pretty much rule out an 82 since they were all automatic trans cars from the factory. There are a few 4 speed cars in my area in the 78-81 window and your price range. Look up Pensacola, Okaloosa, and Panama City, Florida on Craigslist.

There is an extremely nice looking red on red 78 on the St. Louis Craigslist. Priced at $12500, 4 speed. I'm not sure how to link it but might be worth a look.

If you do not have any luck with a forum member you may want to look at Hobbycarcorvette.com They seem to have a couple of black and red vettes. Of course you will have to include tax, title, license and transportation into the cost of the vette. Good luck.

I was looking at Houston's craigslist and saw a red 1980 vette with 6 spd LS1 swap. I remember this car from about 3-4 months ago and he wanted 20k. He might go done to 19k now.
