Default my 79 Vette!

Just got this a couple of months ago. Its got a new 350 in it, and runs good. I paid $7500 and was wondering if that's a good price?

Looks like a very clean car for the price. As long as all works and the birdcage or frame isn't rusted out, then you probably did good.

In my part of the world, based on your photos and description, that's a very good price.

Beautiful car, and you did good on the price. Only thing wrong is that thing in the console that can't go left or right, just up and down

Outside of that, I'd buy that thing all day long for $7500

He's talking about it being automatic and not a 4 speed.

Looks great! Have you inspected for frame/birdcage rust? If theres none, I'd say you done good. Noticed your location, your not too far from me (murray/mayfield) and I actually got my 79 from dresden. Enjoy!
