1978 Chevrolet Corvette Base

Chevrolet Corvette Base (1978)
for sale

Price: US $11,000.00

Description:

This is a very honest and good classic C3 Corvette. It's dependable and has no known mechanical issues associated with the drivetrain, engine and transmission. The only thing that needs addressing is the AC compressor, it has a leaky seal. It has the telescopic tilt steering column, and of course the removable T-Top. As for the interior, it's in very good condition, with minimum wear for its age. The vacuum operated hideaway headlight doors work perfect, power windows, heater, fan all work as they should.
The car has had one repaint and it's a good job, not a high end show paint job but not a $199 Maco job either! It's a strong driver that can do well in local shows and cruise nights.
The engine is the original L48 350 wth the original turbo 350 auto transmission. Both are in perfect operating condition. The header side pipes sound awesome!
The rear bumper has been updated to the 80-82 version, it was a simple cosmetic upgrade.
These rubber bumper C3s are the next ones that will begin gaining value, the chrome bumper cars and C2s have become priced out of range for the average enthusiast. Make your investment now while they are on the cusp of ascension in popularity and value. The biggest downside to the rubber bumper cars are the lower house power compared to their chrome bumper competitors, but with today's many SBC options you can easily turn one of these cars into a street monster from low budget add-on parts or a ground pounding 383 stroker crate engine. Or just enjoy cruising in the original configuration with the T-top off and the wind in your hair! Either way you'll get noticed.
Shipping is the buyers responsibility, but I will be willing to meet the transport company when they pick up.
I will release the title as soon as funds clear. International bidders welcomed.
