Nice looking LT1. I lived in Corona for many years before moving to FL. Definitely interested in your car. Can you please post the first 5 digits of the VIN?
Thanks,
Steve

Sure would be tempting to drop a solid lifter 400 in there and dress it as a 350!
Id buy it right now if I had the means and daily that sucker everywhere!!!

The condition of the paint is awesome, .It was repainted in ‘92. I had the car professionally coated in 2017 but it lacked the depth I knew it had. I didn’t like the feel of the coating either. SoI did a 4 step correction(to remove the coating) buff, polish & seal. Using Menzurna buffing compound, Jascar finishing polish & finished 2 coats of Jascar sealant. The car rarely needs a “wash”
There is a very small paint chip in right rear fender, one other spot that’s not perfect but I’ll let the buyer see if they can find it. It’s not noticeable unless it’s pointed out. Toward the bottom of the car. I can send picture of chip in fender to anyone who is seriously interested in the car. Just send me a pm & ask.
