The 1975:
1. The tach isn't working. Have a new circuit board but not the time or the inclination to tear the darn dash back out. It can wait for spring.
2. The clock doesn't work...so what!! :smash:
3. Needs new valve seals. A mechanic friend is going to take care of that in March.
4. Threw a tire weight from the inside of the wheel and cracked the upper fender on the right side. Noticeable in the paint. Not sure when I'll get that fixed...concerned about the cost too.
5. Just plain tooooo slow. Certified boulevard cruiser with the L48.
The FRC:
1. Absolutely perfect. We'll see how long that lasts!!! :lol: :lol:

So its a list you want eh? Well...after three long weeks of waiting, finally brought my 77 home and took a good long look see. Ill keep it to the short version...lol.
interior - if its in there...it needs work or replaced.
need factory radio
body - not too bad. Need to do one or two minor fiberglass repairs and a new paint job.
engine - Number seem to match (at least as far as I can tell)
VIN 1Z37L7S408642 (L48 I read it)
Back of engine - 3970010
Front of engine - V100CLA and 178408642
(anyone know how to read these)
missing badly and MANY vacuum leaks
electrical - LOTS of bubba fixes...(good grief)
Thats as far as I have gotten just now. Not too bad huh? LOL.
But..as I have seen here many times and I feel the same....its MY vette and Ill take it!
So...any help on the numbers would be great. Pictures to follow in a day or two. Gonna make a web site to catalog the rework.
