Default Restomod Wanted

I want a Black (may consider other colors) C3 T-top. Restomods okay. Must have a stroker or any other high performance crate engine. Prefer either red or light tan interior but will consider others. I don't need a matching numbers car or the original engine. Not looking for a huge project car that needs a lot of work. Paint needs to be very nice 8/9 and interior excellent. Wife likes the 1980 year due to the tail in the rear but will consider other years in the C3 lineup.

Hi JU,
Black 80 gone already? It seems like just a month ago you bought it.
Maybe you need one for each of you?
Regards,
Alan

Yep. Should be gone tomorrow. It became part of an attorney general investigation and had to sell back to the previous owner. Sure was a looker.

I noticed a 1973 Convertible for sale in Flint Michigan with a 454 - 4 speed. It also has the original 350 SBC. Do a search in Flint Mi craigslist.

Let me know if you don't find it.

Gymkana suspension with new poly bushings all around. Any other questions, feel free to Email me at bacabill@comcast.net

I have a 1979 Corvette coupe, white with tan cloth, automatic. Car is very original and score 90.7 points in NCRS show. Bought the car because it was one owner and in beautiful shape. 36,000 verifiable miles on the car. All working but a/c. If you want a car to mod w/o doing body, chassis or interior, this may be a good fit. Asking $9500.00.
