Car history:
05/21/2014

This is a 1978 Corvette, originally finished in the special Silver anniversary silver
and charcoal paint (see trim tag picture). The car was painted white in the 90s. It
has been thoroughly detailed inside and out, and is ready for summer.

The car has BRAND NEW WHEELS and Nexen N7000 tires with less than 20 miles
on them. The brakes were totally redone recently and work great. The car starts
and runs fine. Suspension is also in good shape. All of the lights work, and the
headlights work properly. The car passed TX state safety inspection and tags are
current. It is wearing L-82 badges but it's an L-48 car.

Exterior:
This car is a great 10-footer. The paint looks good for its age, cleans up well, and
presents well. It does have several chips and cracks that you would expect on a
20-25 year old paint job on a Corvette. It's been touched up well, and overall it's
pretty nice.

Interior:
For its age, it's in pretty nice shape. A few parts were just replaced to bring the
entire interior up to par, including the driver's side sun visor, parking brake cover,
and shift boot. There is one small tear in the driver's seat back, and as with most
C3 Corvettes, the dash has a couple cracks. Other than that it looks pretty good.

Known issues:
The radio doesn't work (may just need a new head unit, I haven't looked into it).
A few drops of transmission fluid leak out from the pan gasket every day. Not a
big leak, and the transmission shifts properly. It has a few of the normal C3 Corvette
issues: clock doesn't work, windows roll up and down slow, and the electric tachometer
isn't working (most likely needs the circuit board replaced - not an expensive or
very difficult fix).

This isn't a perfect car, but it is a great car to have some fun in. It would be a great
candidate to fully restore in pieces while you drive it and enjoy it, if that's what
you want. It would also be a great candidate for an engine swap to give it the go
to match the show. Save up some cash and drop in an LS motor or a 383 Stroker.
Or just enjoy it for what it is: an affordable, sharp looking, driver quality Corvette.
