I'AM LISTING THIS 1978 CHEVROLET CORVETTE PACE CAR FOR A FRIEND OF MINE. HE BOUGHT IT IN 2007 FROM BAKER CLASSIC CARS INC. OF EAST PEORIA, IL. FOR $11,000.00 LATER THAT YEAR HE HAD ALL THE BRAKES REPLACED CALIPERS, PADS ETC FOR A LITTLE OVER $1300 AND THEY TOLD HIM THE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (HE'S NOT MECHANICAL INCLINED) SO HE HAD THAT DONE AND THEY CHARGED HIM A LITTLE OVER $5,000.00 FOR THAT. HE HAS DRIVEN THE CAR VERY LITTLE SINCE THEN. ONCE TO CHICAGO AND TO A FEW LOCAL SHOWS HE THINKS LESS THEN 1,000 MILES. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN HIS GARAGE THE LAST 2 YEARS AND HE TOOK IT OUT AND DROVE IT OVER TO ME IN LINCOLN, IL (ABOUT 50 MILES) SO I COULD TAKE PICTURES AND LIST IT FOR HIM. IT WAS DUSTY FROM BEING IN THE GARAGE ALL THAT TIME SO I DID TAKE IT OUT AND RINSED IT OFF, SO IT WOULD LOOK BETTER FOR THE PICTURES. I DIDN'T DO ANY CLEANING ON THE INSIDE AS YOU WILL SEE IN THE PICTURES, THE INTERIOR LOOK PRETTY GOOD, THE SEAT ARE IN GREAT CONDITION, THE DOOR CARD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE NEED THE LITTLE PLASTIC BY THE DOOR HANDLE REPLACED OR PUT A SMALL WASHER WHERE THE SCREW GOES IN, AND THE ARMREST NEEDS A SCREW PUT IN IT, AND HAS A RUB THROUGH AT THE EDGE. THE REST JUST NEED A GOOD CLEANING AND THE CARPET CLEANED. THE BODY IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, I DIDN'T SEE ANY STRESS CRACKS OR ANYTHING THAT NEEDED MUCH ATTENTION EXCEPT IT WAS MISSING THE ANTENNA AND MOTOR FOR THE ANTENNA. IT DOES HAVE BOTH SETS OF T-TOP ALSO. WITH A GOOD DETAILING THIS COULD BE A VERY NICE LOOKING DRIVER OR RESTORATION CANDIDATE. I DON'T THINK HE REALLY WANTS TO SELL IT, BUT HE GOT MARRIED A FEW MONTHS BACK AND HIS WIFE TOLD HIM THAT SOME OF HIS CARS NEEDS TO GO, SO THEY CAN PAY OFF SOME BILLS AND AND GET THE GARAGE CLEANED OUT. SO HE TOLD ME TO LIST THE CAR WITH NO RES. BUT RES THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY AS THE CAR IS FOR SALE LOCALLY FOR $14,000.00 OR BEST OFFER NO TRADES PLEASE. I'LL LIST IT WITH A STARTING PRICE OF $8000.00 NO RES IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS YOU CAN CALL ME AT 217-735-2200 OR CALL MIKE AT 309-231-4644(THE OWNER) IF NO ANSWER LEAVE A MSG AND EITHER ONE OF US WILL GET BACK TO YOU. THE CAR CAN BE SEEN ANYTIME IT'S IN LINCOLN, IL. THE BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PICK UP OF CAR, WILL HELP WITH LOADING ETC.
