Car history:
First my story; I grew up being a Corvette fan and always wanting one. Finally
with one semester left in engineering school I convinced my Dad and older sister
to loan me enough money to buy a used Corvette. I ended up buying this 2
owner 1976 Mahogany Metallic L-82, numbers matching, auto with 61,000 miles in
June of 1981, the rest is as they say ...history.

The Bad... The car is old, fairly rough, with high miles. It could probably use one
of everything, but doesn't have to have anything. The paint has plently of flaws,
the engine could stand a rebuild (never had the heads off), and the trans leaks a
bit and could use the gasket replaced. The seats have a few seam splits, and the
interior has lots of imperfections. I took the air conditioning compressor off and
condenser out a few years ago, but still have both. The after market radio was in
it when I bought it, but I still have the original.

The Good... the car starts right up and runs ok, I drive it periodically to work or
wherever I please. It still looks pretty good from 20 feet. I think I have a record
of every time I put gas in it over the past nearly 30 years! You could probably
count the number of times the car sat outside at night on your fingers and toes.

A few other facts...
I had the car painted the original color in 1983. The rear end was rebuilt about
that time as well.
I hit a deer in 1984 but did only minor damage to the left light pod and right
fender, the guy who painted it made repairs.
I put stainless lined brake calipers, and a new master cylinder in 1991, and have
been running silicone brake fluid ever since.
I put a dual exhaust system on it in 1998. In 2001 I replaced the radiator and
some supports. The fan shroud is split in two, but not replaced. In 2009, I took the
rear diff out and checked it. I also replaced all six U joints, and replaced the
rubber spacers in the transverse spring, then had it aligned. The tires have about
11,000 miles on them.

I may regret selling this old car but since it is not my only sports car I hope I can
make it through. It is a difficult decision to sell something you have had longer
than your wife and kids! Feel free to send me questions.
Pick-up is the responsibility of the buyer, however I would be willing to assist as
needed. And it goes without saying, there is no warranty.

The speedo and tach both work, however the tach may read a bit high.
The clock typically does not work.
The L-82 motor is the 4-bolt main motor.
I have the bags for the tops, the owner's manual, and a maint manual.
