I am selling some of my toys to get a C5 convertible so your donation will be appreciated. Check out my other toys and take them home too. I have a pretty rare L82 four speed silver anniversary coupe. It took me forever to find one that wasnt priced in the stratoshere so here is your chance to get it for what I have into it. This car had set for years when I got it. The 70's tires were shot and the exhausts were rotting off but it was still there. It has completely new brakes including calipers, master cylinder, etc and do not leak. It has brand new firestone firehawks in the correct size. It has true dual exhaust from the manifold back with factory style appearance mufflers. The car still runs well but new plugs and wires couldn't hurt. I usually dont bother with it until it is a problem.....I will have more pics tomorrow evening as a ran out of daylight. The frame is dirty but very solid. I plan to detail it underneath if I don't sell it....I just didn't want to hide anything. I have seen bad frames...this one is fine. The interior is a very strong 7 out of 10. The original seats, dash, door panels, are good. I did change the front carpet because it was toast. This car was not optioned with the tilt telescopic option so you guys out there thinking I put a 1976 steering wheel on it can save me the trouble. It has a sometimes operable factory CB radio. Power windows are slightly slower than normal but smooth and don't need regulators. The car runs, shifts, and stops well. However, the paint sucks. It is original and faded. It has checking and is not glossy. It is original complete with factory pinstriping. I give it a 4 out of 10. Don't expect pretty paint....expect original silver and that is all I can say for it. It is still silver with no factory primer showing through. If you are good with a paint gun then you could paint this car the right way and be very proud. I still get comments everywhere I go because it is an L82 four speed. I will work with a dealer or shipper but all funds must clear my bank before the car and title leave my possession. The air does not work and never probed into why. All the components are still there. I have checked the numbers on the deck of the block and they are matching! It looks fairly unmolested except for some blocked off vacuum ports around the carb. The headlights pop up like a low mileage car should. The speedo cable gave up right after I started getting it back on the road. I can hear the cable making noise. Previous owner swore it was the original mileage. The original title was given to me from 1978 but I did not make a copy. Any interested parties should call me at 304-654-5117 before 9 PM each night. Thanks, Brian
