1977 Lt1/zf6
Well alot of you know that I cannot keep this car anymore. I don't have the time or money to finish her the way I would want to and I am not about to become one of those morons with a vette sitting in the garage for 15 years saying, "Oh I am going to finish her up someday" while it rots away to nothing.
Car is located in Billerica MA. I am looking to get $7500.00 out of this and that is a firm price folks.
Here is the descrip. Pics will follow tommorow (sat)
Car is Maroon originally cream, Interior was originally brown but was dyed by previous owner and he did a decent job at it.
The good:
1) LT1/ZF6 out of a 92 approx 35k on the Engine and Trans. Cannot be confirmed.
2) New Frame, Has very little rust on it and what is on there is minor surface rust.
4) Suspension has been updated with newer bushings but not upgraded with anything like steeroids or the likes.
5) New Alum Radiator, support and Alum hoses.
6) Birdcage is in beautiful shape, only the SLIGHTEST spot of surface rust.
7) Seats from an '81 with no tears and in very good condition.
8) New rugs throughout
9) Passed MA Emissions and safety with no problems.
10) New wiper motor
11) Car was originally AC equipped and most parts (except condenser and some lines) are there.
12) 16" Alum rims (Centerline Scorpions) and tires are in GREAT shape.
13) Have over $14,000 in receipts from original owner who did the conversion.
The needed:
1) Cooling system needs a complete flush, Haven't gotten around to it yet.
2) Needs an alignment and front wheel bearings are in need of adjustment possibly replacement.
3) Body is in very good shape but there is a crack on the bonding strip on the drivers side fender and car will definitly need paint but you could just buff it and drive it for awhile and have a decent 25 footer.
4) Doors need new pins and bushings as well as alignment.
5) Interior is in Fair shape but could use some TLC.
6) I think the heater core is going but cannot confirm, Have the part in hand but not installed.
7) Gauges need rebuild or upgrade. Most work but some are not reliable to work all the time.
8) No heat/blower and have not been able to find the time to troubleshoot.
9) Needs proper Radiator support mounts, The ones I made are sufficient for temporary use but I would not consider them completely reliable.
10) Power window switches need replacing (Have brand new ones in box) and power windows need adjustment as they are loose in the rails. I tired adjusting them but I do not have the experience and was afraid of breaking the glass
11) Could use some new rubbers, Have some but not all.
12) Shifter is bubba'd to fit console (Previous owner) will need replacement but works well
Car runs and drives great, I would definitly get the computer tuned and do a general tune-up as well as the above listed projects.
That is all I can think of right now but I can say that I could part this car out for what I want and possibly more but I have NO desire to do so so please don't ask. I also have a complete spare center gauge cluster and numerous other random parts that go with the car.
Let me know what you think. PM me or respond here with any interest.

FWIW, I've had a ride in this car when he went to buy it. The car rides really smooth and the engine/trans has a very nice feel to it.
Good Luck on the sale Mike

Damn... I'm sorry you're getting rid of her Mike. I remember all the tough times you went through trying to find a C3. 
Your price looks pretty decent. Are you going to look for another one in the future?

I am hoping that in a year or two I can get into a decent C5 now that the prices are dropping a little. Having a kid sure throws monkey wrenches into my play time

900 views and not even an offer except for one lowball.
C'mon folks if you think the price is off or have comments let me know. I am willing to negotiate to a point.
