Chevrolet Corvette 1979 Description
This is a low miles number matching car!It had been standing for many years, the previous owner worked on the car and then lost interest.
I then purchased it and spent a lot of time and money in restoring it to what will be it's former glory.
Comes with AC, power steering, electric windows, cruise control
THE GOOD
Brakes have been done including new calipers, rotors and pads, as well as master cylinder.
Driveshafts have been done.
Just fitted brand new Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks front and rear
Brand new Hankook 225/70/15 tires all round sitting on sought after Rally rims.
Beauty rings and centre caps all present.
Interior completely re-done/replaced, including brand new dash, carpets, leather seat covers and rear storage compartments. All other parts have been cleaned up and freshly painted
Frame (and underside of the car have been restored using the correct products from Eastwood
Beautiful mirrored T-tops are in very good condition
Badging has been removed and restored to new
Converted to electronic choke
New radiator hose, cap, coolant reservoir
New thermostat
New spark plugs
Oil just changed
All belts replaced
Currently in the process of converting the headlights from vacuum to electric, I have all the parts. (currently the headlight buckets have been removed from the car to be rebuilt)Pictures show the original air intake, thishas been replaced with an after market one that matches the valve covers - not shown in the pictures
THE BAD
Body is in pretty good condition but does need paint work, I'm leaving that for the new owner as they may like to change color, and also so you can see the condition, nothing hidden
There are a few cracks in the body, minor and easy to repair
Windshield is cracked
Some wiring needs completing
Weather strips are all present but will need to be replaced
AC needs some work, it was stripped from the car previously, but has been re-installed
Car runs and drives currently, motor runs really well. This will be a beautiful car and worth a lot more money once completed!
I however have too many projects on the go and do not have the time to continue.
