Thank you, being a 79 it is not a rare car , its a L48 auto ,black leather seats, alloy wheels, power windows, air conditioning ,rear demister am-fm radio . But the attraction for me was the miles, only 12,000 and fully documented, everything on the car works.

I did have the car resprayed in it original colour ,as the original acrylic paint was starting to show its age and someone had spilt brake fluid on the mudguard I know some people would say I should have left it but I wanted it to look nice , The car had 2 owners before me, I use it as a sunday driver, iam not sure if the respray has affected its value but I get a great deal of enjoyment out of my Vette and really that's all that matters dosent it
Cheers
Mark

Sweet looking 79! Opposite colors of mine. I dont think a repaint in the correct color would negatively affect the value as opposed to a flawed original paint job.
