Description of 1979 Chevrolet Corvette L-82 |
NEW INFO: THIS IS NOT A FLOOD CAR. I LIVE IN N. TEXAS AREA. I OWNED THIS CAR WHEN THE HURRICANE CAME THROUGH. WE HARDLY GOT ANY RAIN. NO FLOODING. THANKS FOR THE QUESTIONS REMINDING ME TO POST THIS INFO... There has been a LOT of interest in this car. I have been asked a lot of questions (over 70). The four main questions I keepgetting, I will answer here: 1) Has this car been wrecked before? I do not know, but I did havethe frame checked out. It isn't out of alignment. I also ran the vin (I don't mind if you do as well) buttwo different VIN reporting companies did not have info on the vin (which IS correct by the way...older cars have shorter VINs and the reporting companies don't usually have info on this old of a vehicle). 2) Why haven't you finished the small things like the seat back insert mounts, etc? As of October 2017 I have had to take full responsibility as caretaker of my parents who have both now had strokes. I simply do not have the time to put into it. 3) Would you consider a cash offer? Yes, but I won't give the vehicleaway. It's way too nice for that, and I don't need the $$$ that bad. 4) Why can't I test drive the car myself? Okay, so you MIGHT be able to test drive it with me in it. Isimply refuse to have a $12,000 ride jacked up by someone who wants to "put their foot in it" as if it were a new ride. If you know classics, respect them, and are familiarwith them, then I would consider letting you be the "driver" in a REAL test drive. IMPORTANT NOTE: All bidders MUST read bidder rules BEFORE bidding! If you bid outside the rules, I WILL remove your bid. No exceptions. ------------------------------------ Up for sale is my 1979 C3 L-82 Vette. Selling it because I found a 1969 Vette I want.

ABOUT THE SELLER (me, lol)... I am a well respected, long time eBayer, with a 100% positive rating. As well, I have many, many people who can provide reference to my honesty and skill level in these rides. I may hurt your feelings, but I won't lie to you. I WILL tell you all I know about this ride... ALSO I do not need to sell this ride, I just decided to go for a different year for the fun of it. UNDERSTAND THIS...I have been in the Vette scene for a LONG time. If you like the car, and are serious, well, here it is. If not, you will not go "Gas Monkey" on me and get this ride for wholesale. This isn't TV...deal with it, lol! I really enjoy talking with honest people about cars, etc. I will answer any questions I can, but read the info first. Thanks! BIDDER/BUYER RULES I reserve the right to end this auction at any time as this vehicle is also for sale locally...
PS: I noticed after posting, that the right brake light is out in the rear. I will fix that for you. HAPPY BIDDING! 1979 Vette Video - YouTube Video will open in a new window [isdntekvideo] |
