Anyone near Old Forge Pa?
I am interested in a 78 L48 4 speed with 39,000 miles at Coffees Corvettes, in Old Forge Pa. I live in Southwest Virginia and it is a 9 hour drive so I like to get someone that knows vettes to look at it for me before I make the trip. I would be willing to pay you for your time.
Thanks and Happy Holidays

Thanks guys for the response. I have found a 1978 in my home town for 12,000 that has had a frame off restoration and been in storage since the resto was complete in 1989. The car looks as perfect as one can be. I couldn't drive it because it was in a storage facility that had about 20 other collectable cars in it. The 78 was about the 4th row back. The owner was closing for Christmas and will not re-open until Monday but he told me he would get it out of storage and have it ready for me to dirve by 10:00 on Monday. If this works out I may not be going to Pa. after all. Thanks again for your response.

God’s country??? Old Forge is right outside Scranton and Wilkes Barre, both major metropolitan areas.
I’m from Scranton. I have been to Coffee’s but I have never bough a car there. I know people who have and most feel the same. Jerry does have a lot of exotic cars on-hand but like problemenko said, they are kind of expensive. Also from both my experience and others, Jerry Coffee himself seems to have a bad attitude.
Basically, If you found the car your looking for and its in your price range (and you can ignore his attitude if your given one) I don’t see a reason not to get it.
Hope this helps, good luck

Thanks Corvette69w427.
I have spoke with Chris several times over the past couple of weeks and so far he has been very good to deal with. What I am finding is a lot of 78 and 79 vettes for sale that are in pretty good shape for a lot less money than he is asking for the 78.....but he is in business to make money and I can't fault him for that. Thanks again for yor comments.
