Le Mans Master
Up for sale or trade is my beautiful 1978 25th Anniversary C3 Corvette. There has been a lot of time and money spent on this car, which is described below. I am asking for $13,500 OBO or interesting trade. I would prefer to trade it for another classic, but send me what you have: I'll consider anything of equal value. I would love to trade for a C5 Corvette as well.
Exterior: This Corvette was painted a gorgeous Le Mans Blue a little more than a year ago. The car has been driven since then, but even so, the paint shines up great and is stunning in the day and at night. All exterior lights work, head lights, tail lights, blinkers etc. All glass in good shape (windshield, rear glass, side windows etc.) The rear bumper has been upgraded to the 1980-1982 style Corvette rear with the built in spoiler, which makes the car look even better than before. The troublesome headlight assemblies have been replaced with fixed headlight units, which give the car a sinister look. Everything can be put back to stock if so desired.
Interior: The interior of this car is in great shape. The dash has no cracks or splits, the carpeting has been replaced and cool Stingray floor mats added, and the seats are in wonderful original shape. The power windows go up and down, and a CD player has been installed. All the gauges work and read accurately, and light up well. The steering column works like it should, both telescopes and tilts well. The car has up to date tags on the registration and inspection. New AC Delco Battery in the last few years.
Drivetrain and Suspension: Under the hood is where most of the work on this car is. First, the brake system has been totally over hauled, with new calipers, pads, lines and master cylinder. The power steering works very well with no leaks. The engine runs great and transmission shifts well. The heads and intake have been upgraded to a comp cams set up, with a brand new Holley 1850 Carburetor on top. New fuel pump, motor mounts, PVC valve, spark plugs, cap/rotor and wires. Also, exhaust headers have been added and welded to a brand new 2 ½ inch dual exhaust set up which gives an awesome muscle car rumble out of the tail-pipes. There are brand new BF Goodrich tires all the way around. The A/C is missing the compressor at the moment, but everything is there to restore it in the future. Heater core is a new aluminum unit. The oil has been changed in the engine, transmission and cooling system. New transmission flexible lines, speedometer gear and seals have been installed. The radiator, hoses and coolant are all new as well. Clear TX Title
The small needs the car has are as follows:
Speedo gear in transmission needs replaced
Tachometer board needs replaced
Lower A arm bushings need replaced.
A-Pillar and B-Pillar weather-stripping could use replacement
I will be working on them as time permits.
