'78 Value?
Venturing over from C4 world....
This '78 is not a pace car...not an aniversary edition...saw it sitting roadside this weekend...$4800...I know it's an automatic, but thats it...thought it could easily be made a pace car clone (since i know I'll never get my hands on a real one)
so what are '78's going for? What should I look for upon inspecting it? I'm pretty handy with wrenches so all that kinda work is really no problem.
Tell me all the good/bad and indifferent...THANKS!!!

Never say never on a Pace Car, I bought this L82 4sp 3 yrs ago for $2750 as you see it here.

GREAT pace car! they are my favorite all time corvettes!
now...by "birdcage"...i assume thats the general compartment that surrounds the passengers? where are obvious places to check for rust? anything special I need to know about the engines/suspension/etc?
I know all there is to know about the C4 and purchasing one, but C3's are a new animal for me. Thanks again!

Numbers matching can mean a lot when you're talking about some C3s. Not all, but the more desireable ones.
