Default 1978 corvette


1978 corvette for sale by me wondering everyones opinions never had a corvette just diesel trucks. The car has 90k miles on it, newer tires, the car was repainted a few years ago, and the motor was rebuilt by a reputable engine builder in my area.

It's a 45 year old car, just about everything needs replacement at some point. Nothing wrong with the 78, except the stock smog 180HP 350 engine. The engines are easy to build, paint and body are the expensive part of these cars. Look up some threads here on bird cage rust and know what to look for, that's the only part of these cars that's usually not worth fixing.
