This car was purchased from a relative recently who was in a cash bind. I have no use or space for the car. I drove it back from their place about 3 hours and 150 miles away and it ran fine. I fixed a few small things that I noticed initially like an exhaust leak and hood latch cable. I have been under and around the car pretty thoroughly and it is solid all around. Needs all the things described in the description above. The car is a solid bone project that can be driven while making these minor fixes. It is not a Pace Car, this color combo was chosen when repainted years ago by the previous owner due to it's period correctness and his love for Dale Earnhardt. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have regarding the vehicle. Winning bidder will be required to deposit $500 into my PayPal account within 48 hours of auction close. The remaining balance can be satisfied with certified check or cash in person. Winning bidder will be solely responsible for the pickup and/or transportatation of the vehicle. I can store the car for up to 3 weeks if needed once paid in full. Reserve Price has been dropped to $4,500. Car will be placed up for sale locally today. Owner reserves the right to sell locally and end auction upon doing so. I will not sell the vehicle locally however if the reserve is met prior to sale.On Jul-17-15 at 04:33:01 PDT, seller added the following information: RESERVE HAS BEEN MET, LET THE BIDDING BEGIN! GOOD LUCK ALL. This car will not be sold locally since the reserve was met. On Jul-18-15 at 13:58:58 PDT, seller added the following information: Came across some new information regarding the 350 in this car. In my experience casting number 3970010 has always been a 4 bolt main. It appears they used both 2 and 4 for this model year Corvette. I was under the impression Corvettes always used a 2 bolt main so I assumed the motor had been swapped out at some point, but it looks likely this is the stock L48 engine that came with the car. I have attached a couple links to show what I'm talking about. http://www.hemmings.com/mus/stories/2004/04/01/hmn_feature11.html http://corvettec3.ca/casting.htm#1978_Options http://www.mortec.com/castnum.htm Just wanted to clarify the ad for full disclosure.
