Default trunk question

Hello everyone, I am new to corvettes and thinking of purchasing my first one. I have a 1969 Pontiac LeMans that I'm thinking of selling due to the expense (it needs some body work and the parts cost a lot more than chevy to do what I want with it). With that in mind I am looking at the C3 corvettes and particularly around 1982. I was wondering do those vehicles have trunks or just the space behind the seats under the window. Do they have a spare tire anywhere? Thanks for bearing with me as I'll probably be asking a lot of questions!

Hello,
There are no trunks for the 68-82 corvettes.
The 78 - 82 have a larger storage area due to the extra glass for the fastback design.

The spare tire is mounted under the car between the two mufflers.
The jack is in the storage compartment behind the drivers seat.

If you think its expensive to work on a 69 Lemans, wait untill you get involved with Corvettes.

just read this forum for a while . . .
what the 'vette WILL give you is, most likely, better performance, and a high resale value.
best of luck, whichever way you go . . .
