Vehicle Detail
Up for sale with no reserve is a 1978 Chevy, 25th Anniversary Edition Corvette, I will do my best to describe the current condition but I may accidently omit something, if there is any questions, please email me and i'll answer within 24 hours or as soon as possible. V-8 Original motor was rebuilt with stock parts and ran great when parked. Normal options with a 4 bbl carb with after market valve covers. I purchased this car from a friend and he had the motor, auto trans, and brakes rebuilt for his daughter to drive, however she didn't like it and he had to buy her a newer more practical car. He parked it and didn't want to pursue further expences, I got it with intentions to restore it but I have too many projects and I need to free up some garage space. It has been parked in my warm garage for about 3 years collecting dust. I started it every month or so but as with any car, the battery went dead and fuel pump started to malfunction. I bought a new battery and fuel pump this week and just installed them and changed the oil for the new owner. The tires are brand new and the factory rims need polished. The center caps are missing, the A/C does not work as the compressor was removed. The red seats are in normal shape with a couple of tears in the drivers seat but the passenger seat is good. Power windows work but the passenger switch needs replaced or repaired. Tilt steering wheel, painted black t-tops with inner panels, carpet is new but the installer did a crappy job, door panels are there but have a few inperfections in them, headlights go up and down with no issues, frame is solid with average rusty appearance but no holes. This car is straight and never wrecked or abused, but has been setting most of its life, so please keep in mind it is a 34 year old car and will need to be restored or reconditioned prior to using on the road. It ran when I pulled it in my garage but it has not been on the road since August of 2002. While parked at the former owners residence, someone removed the radio and it's gone. Please don't expect a showroom vehicle but if your looking to restore a 25th anninersary edition car, you won't find a better project vehicle. The paint is faded and as you can see in the pictures the shine is still there but has some imperfections on the body. The winning bidder is responsible for all shipping charges and I require a $500.00 deposit through paypal within 72 hours after the auction ends, balance paid in full within 5 days. If you don't want paypal, contact me within 24 hours for other arrangments. All funds must clear both banks before the car comes out of my garage. I will hold the car for a reasonable amount of time to be picked up but must be paid for as stated. Title is clear from WV and states mileage not required but the odometer has 46,000 miles on it and believed to be original. I will work with your shipper to help load anytime with prior notice. My cell is (304) 549-3167 for serious calls only, no scammers or may end sale early as listed locally and cash talks!! Thank you and please bid to own, negative feedback will be reported to ebayOn Jan-07-12 at 15:05:13 PST, seller added the following information: Just an update, had alot of emails and calls about this Corvette, I have an offer of $4000.00 cash for it locally, I will end this early and sell it before the 24 hour ending period if the bids are not up to or higher than the local offer. Also, I really don't want more projects or trades. That's why I'm selling this car so cheap, I don't have time to get this one done soon and I'm going to let it go. NO GAMES AS I WANT THE CAR SOLD BUT I'M NOT WILLING TO TAKE A LOSS ON ITS VALUE, BID EARLY AND WIN, YOU WAIT AND YOU LOOSE.
