Description of 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe - t-tops

You are bidding on a 1979 Chevrolet Corvette, speed.
Only 10% of the entire Corvette production was equipped with a manual transmission. Ours was one, nd interestingly, urs does not have power windows or air conditioning. So, ne could assume that the car was ordered to be aslight and as quick aspossible (for 1979). Shedoesn't even havepower door locks. She was as close to a 1979 muscle car thatonecould order.
Yet she was ordered with remote sport mirrors and aluminum rims. (T-tops are painted).
She produces 200 horsepower and, ue to her relatively low weight, ccelerates "briskly". But if youarelookinga this Vette you are not seeking blistering 0-60 times. Perhaps you are like me. I was in highschool when this car was made. Hence, he has acertain sentimental value to me.
As I own a professional classic carrestorationfacility (private, or my cars only), decided to give this Corvette a very high end respray. No ordinary respray, eremoved everything, lass, oors, nd caps, ocker moldings, ubber, tc. We removed most of the interior. In other words, very comprehensive paint job. Assume it cost $20,000. Also, e replaced all of the rubber, dded a newwindshield, ew tires, ew brakes, ew lenses (front and back), ew emblems, ew rockercovers, ew speakers - all of them (dash included). New center console (they always look shabby - as they were painted) The list goes on and on.
This is the best fiberglass paint work you have ever seen. Truly show winning. I even have theoriginal t-top carrying bags. Oh, nd a vinyl front bra for paint protection is included (old school).
We detailed under the hood, ew paint here and there. With only 54,000 miles, he was already tidy. All of thegaugeswork and we fixed the problematic parkingbrake.
She runs 100%. Clutch - excellent. Brakes - new, -tops - no leaking (new rubber), ower steering pump is new (was leaking), ew tires - polished original rims. Headlights work perfectly. Wipers too.Stereo is aftermarket andbetter than new, or sure.
Ihave most original paperwork and theoriginal car sticker too.
Youmight think that she is a bitpoochyto drive - not so. Actually, he is quite fun and, f course, arners a ton of looks and thumbs up.
Why am I selling - well, he is done.Time to restore my XKE, hich just arrived and the partsfor it are very expensive. I need the money. There is nothing wrong withthis Vette - come see it and test drive her.
Also, ue to theage, he is being sold as-is, here is. There is no warranty implied or inferred. I have no doubt that she is dependable and will be so for along time, ut I cannot warranty a car this old youunderstand. We ask for a $500 deposit via paypal. The balance is due within 7 days of the close of theauction, o excuses. I report non paying bidders.
Good Luck
