I was told by a fellow C3 owner that there's a similar carfax type site but as of this writing have not been able to come across it .

for that price, it better come with a years supply of prostitutes as well.



This would be appropriate for such a pimp mobile!

I sent him a link to this conversation. I thought he might want to come answer the questions about his car, or not.

Matching numbers? I tought it was more then engine and frame who had to match to have a matching car because i never saw blue headers and flower on a 79 before. Or mabe it's those ultra rare options that was installed at the dealer before he bought the car.

Oooooo...etched glass. That surely justifies the $27,000 starting bid.

A six-time Houston car show winner, this custom 1979 T-top Corvette is not only gutsy muscle machine, but a beautiful work of art.

I noticed this seller is in Perry, GA which is in Houston County. Not to be confused with a city of 3 million people, Houston, Texas.

This is a cool ride in middle Georgia.

"0 Bids" says everything.

Looks like it was decorated for a woman's taste. . .
