Greetings fellow Ebayers. I am posting this beautiful Corvette as a favor to a long time my friend of mine, Jim Casas of Las Vegas. Jim Casas has been in the business of buying, selling, restoring, and collecting classic luxury and sports cars (specializing in Vettes) for over 24 years. I recently suggested to him that he expand his love for buying, selling, and trading his cars to the internet, and told him to give me a chance at a trial run for him on Ebay. Im proud to say that this will now be the second Corvette that we have listed, and Im hoping that the result will be the same, a happy customer with a quality Corvette! I have personally seen and driven this 2 tone Indy clone, and for a car of its age, I thought it was in good condition and was a great deal for the price. I encourage you to get all the details directly from Jim though. Please call Jim at (702) 556-5581 or email him at www.jimcacas480@gmail.com and talk with him about the car. Ask him pointed questions -- what is good about the car, what is bad about the car. Better yet, make a quick trip to Vegas and meet Jim and see the car in person. As I believe you can see from my feedback, I am a man of my word. To help Jim be successful with his second online auction, I am personally extending to you a no questions asked MONEY BACK guarantee on this beautiful car TO BUYERS LOCATED IN THE U.S., EXCLUDING HAWAII AND ALASKA! If your not completely happy with your purchase, I will refund your money in full within 10 days of the delivery of the car to you, EXCLUDING, HOWEVER, THE COST OF DELIVERY OF THE CAR VIA A SHIPPER. Otherwise, the car is being sold on an AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS basis. In other words, for the price of shipping, you get the right to drive the car for 10 days to see if you want to keep it. So, bid with confidence. Good luck!

THE GOOD- This is a 1978 Indy Pace car clone that is in absolutely great overall shape and condition for its year. From the new paint to the refurbished interior, it's really had alot of effort put into it! This beauty drives very well, and after the inspections and minor repairs I've had fixed, this car is literally ready to just jump in and cruise! THE BAD- This car does not have many bad things to say about it, however the guages and panels are the originals, so you should understand that on a 32 year old car there will be signs of wear and tear. You will also find that some of the door molding will show signs of wear aswell. THE UGLY- The ugly on this car is quite simple, although it has always been a Southern California car, so you will NOT find any rust on this beauty, anybody knows that lives in Southern California that not having an A/C in the summertime is definitely ugly! I must add although that even though this car does not have A/C, you probly wont miss it when you put the T-Tops down and cruise! It is also missing an inside right panel to the T-Top that will need replaced, but its nothing major. There are a few little things that show the car's age, such as the radio, and some of the knobs on the dash aswell. ABOUT ME My name is Jim Casas, I am an Iraq war veteran.

My father and I have been in the business of buying, selling, collecting, trading, rebuilding, and just all around loving classic cares (mainly Vettes and Mercedes) for over a combined 30 years!!!
