Car history:
The Corvette is in excellent overall condition and shows a high level of care over
the years. Of particular note (and importance!) is the very straight and damage
free exterior of the body. The Corvette's paint is excellent, very high gloss and
free from significant defects and, in fact, hardly has any noticeable nicks, chips,
scratches or major imperfections. It is an absolutely beautiful example! Only a
close critical inspection will reveal the usual minor flaws (and those are very
minor, indeed) found on any vehicle that has been driven on the street and
accumulated even low mileage.

The remainder of the exterior of the car is also excellent and the front and rear
bumpers show no damage nor does the front, lower spoiler (lip). The exterior trim
is in excellent "California condition", free (or course) from any signs of damage,
pitting or rust. The glass is excellent and all of the lenses are free from cracks / damage.

The cars "Oyster" interior makes for a striking contrast to the cars silver/gray
exterior and is in very good overall condition. The seats are firm and are free
from rips, tears and major damage. Often times the very light interiors can show
significant dirt & wear but not so in this case. While the leather has some signs
of "patina" and a few rub/wear marks, as the photos show it is in very nice overall
condition and is very presentable.

All of the remainder of the interior is equally as good and the dash, door panels,
center console remain in original factory configuration with no modifications. The
instruments are totally clear and the speedometer, odometer and tachometer are
functional and accurate. Also, functional is the entire compliment of factory gauges
that display positive readings.

A really cool addition to the car is the factory fitted GM factory radio (AM/FM)
complete with an 8-track player. For functional reasons, one of the rear
compartments in the Corvette is fitted with a high quality Alpine remote controlled
operated AM/FM CD player complete with I pod connection that can be operated
from driver's or passenger side seats. Also note that the car is equipped with the
unique 8-track holder (in the glove box) shown in one of the interior photographs.

Mechanically the car is excellent. It not only runs very well but shifts without
hesitation and steers and stops straight and without fuss. The emergency brake is
properly adjusted. The entire electrical system is fully functional and everything
but the clock (a characteristic weak point) works. The pop up headlight work
perfectly (refer to photos in the listing). The air conditioning was fully functional
and has been converted to R144A after considerable repairs (and expense) but it
has not been used and, as a result, is not blowing cold at this time.

1978 CORVETTE - MAINTENANCE / REPAIR SUMMARY

The Corvette has always received ongoing care and maintenance and has been
serviced by one facility (the same repair facility that the owner has used for many
years). Needs were addressed as they develop and, of course, the car received
regular oil services, brakes, and other maintenance items.

As an example, the following is a list of services performed within the previous
few thousand miles; all by the same repair facility in Northern California:

< 200 Miles - New (remanufactured) power steering pump, new power steering
control unit, new power assist cylinder, newly rebuilt front brake calipers & new
brake pads, bleed brakes
