Default F/S 1979 L-82 Corvette $15,000.00***

*****ADDED PICTURES BELOW*****

I've decided to move on from my project 79 L82....project is close to complete (is road worthy), but there is still some work to be done on the car. The a/c needs to be finished and the car doesn't start well when it is hot (either a problem with the starter getting hot or the fitech fuel command center i believe). I have well over $30,000.00 dollars invested in this car plus hundreds of hours of sweat equity.

*383 stroker - less than 100 miles since build
*Turbo 350 trans
*new exhaust
*new fuel lines and tank
*new brake lines
*Fitech Throttle body injection
*2 sets of tops - clear and painted to match
*many other parts replaced new

you can get a good idea of the work i've done by searching this forum (I pretty much chronicled the journey here) or looking at this thread:

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-any-tips.html

send me a message if interested or have any questions....car is located in the houston, TX area.

Looks to be a very nice build and like you said a lot of hard work and money.

I just wish i was still healthy enough to work on a car.

Good luck sir
