Vehicle Description

1979 Chevy Corvette
I bought this car in 2003 as a project car. The original color was dark green with tan interior.
What I have done to the car:
  • New spark plugs and wires
  • New distributor
  • New vacuum hoses
  • Rebuild carburetor
  • New automatic transmission fluid
  • New carpet
  • New seats
  • Painted and refurbished entire interior to black
  • Exterior painted Viper Red
  • Some new weatherstrip (car will come with some remaining)
  • New emblems
  • Some new door hardware
  • New front bumper cover
  • New brakes
  • New shocks
  • Freshly repacked wheel bearings
  • 600 watt amp and 4 new speakers installed
  • Audio head unit is a generic CD player
Items which will come with the car:
  • Spare tire and holder is currently off the car
  • A new-in-box set of headers
  • New weatherstrip which has not yet been installed (bought a complete set)
Known issues remaining with the car:
  • Air conditioner has never been connected. No idea if it works.
  • Windshield wipers need to be adjusted/aligned.
  • Door windows are not water tight. I avoid the rain. They need adjusted.
  • Door locks work hard. Automatic locking mechanism too weak to operate them. Manual locking/unlocking works fine.
  • Coolant temperature gauge does not work
