1976 L-82 4spd Full Restoration
 

Fully restored, matching numbers, comes with original matching numbers engine, and a built 406 small block engine (currently in car), which was built to look the same as the factory engine (i.e aluminum intake manifold and Sportsman II heads were blasted and painted Chevy orange, factory finned aluminum L-82 valve covers, runs on Q-Jet with factory air cleaner, etc). This set up makes it a blast to show or drive, and still preserves the original engine.

Everything was restored, from suspension to interior. I'm not a car show guy, but when I drove it to the Mid America Funfest in Effingham, it was picked out in the parking lot and won the Celebrity Choice award by Lance Miller, who runs Corvettes at Carlisle (largest Corvette show in the world).

Any parts that have been removed come with the car (for example, it was upgraded to Gymkhana option springs and sway bars, but I have the originals; have the original catalytic convertor but it's not on the car, etc). (Car is shown in photos with a MOMO steering wheel, I used to work for their parent company. I have the 76 steering wheel also, will put it on if you prefer)

Details of the 406 SBC are available, a few are Callies Forged 4340 Crankshaft, Forged SRP flat top Pistons, SCAT Forged H-Beam connecting rods, Comp Cams XE-274 cam, World Products Sportsman II heads (ported and port matched), ARP hardware, Competition Cams roller rockers.

I have owned the car since 1993, I don't think I have averaged more than 100 miles per year the last 10 years. I simply don't get the time to enjoy it any more, so it is time to let it go to someone who can, and appreciate all the effort that went into it. Original engine and engine stand included with purchase. Let me know if you have any questions. Price is $19,500. e-mail to sgwarhover"at"hotmail.com. Many pics available, car is located in St. Louis, MO

Great looking car and I love how you did the 406... top notch. Good luck.

as the others have said, simply superb ! this one has got to sell quick !!!

Nice Car!

A few more pics, per a few requests. Mileski, the vacuum lights still work with the 406. (I believe they are a little slower?) The displacement of that motor helps provide vacuum more than a smaller displacement would with the same cam duration.
