About 4 week ago I bought my wife a 1980 4speed car has been in a shed since 2001, it is all original and runs and drives. I am going through all the systems now . I have joined this site for the great info here. We have owned one corvette before 25 years ago .a 1979 l82 4speed. We had been looking for a nice 4 speed car . Car has 91,000 miles on it.
So this will be like a flash back for us.
Nice find -- next time you trailer it anywhere, drive it on nose first -- you need most of the weight in front of/above the front axle. If you dont, the tail-heavy trailer might start "wagging" you !!!
I could not get it on the trailer , the front was way to low so I had to back it on . I was not crazy about towing that way, but it was my only choice.
Go to your favorite lumber store. Get a 2X12 and cut it in 2' sections.
put 1 under each rear wheel of your truck, and 1 under the uhaul ramps -- greatly lessens the load angle
Sat was bushing day I changed all the body bushings out , it all went good, lucky I have a rust free car none of the bolts where rusted up. it was a lot of work using a floor jack and stands. Glad to be done with it.
