Description for Chevrolet Corvette 1978
This is a 38,200 original mile three owner 1978 Corvette L82 Pace Car. This is a limited edition car. The two previous owners put on most of the miles in Texas. The second owner brought it to California in 1992. He didn't have time to drive it any longer and it sat in his garage for 20 years (1992-2012) under a car cover. In 2012 (at 33,500) I rescued this car from the garage and gave it new life once again. I had the professionals at Corvette Care in Sacramento do a bunch of work to get it running again with over $12,000 in service (see below for some details on what was done). However, fter a couple thousand miles, he rings seemed to be bad so in late 2104 (at 37,000 miles) I had the original block (to retain the matching numbers) rebuilt and re-bored to 40 over and 11:1 compression by Street Tech Auto in Orangevale at a cost of around $6000. Some of the service that was done in 2012: Replace cam/shaft, alve springsEmission devices installed All hosesFuel linesCooling flushTransmission ServiceReplace fuel tankFull A/C system replacementHeater replacementAll brakes and calipers and flushRear Diff serviceNew Analog clockPassenger door window regulator and switchNew front side door speaker New exhaust system with Magnaflow mufflersAnd much, uch more (I have all service records on everything done) Other key features to note: Brand New TiresNo body work ever done as far as I can tell.T-tops with cases.All electrical works (except already mentioned antenna).Telescope/tilt steering wheel.New battery.New Edlebrock Intake.New Quadrajet Carburetor.Early model decked Fuelie heads.I have the original owners manual and MSRP! This car is in excellent condition! The interior and dash are very nice. Paint is original and shines bright. The car leaks no fluids.You'll find it to be a nice, trong driving car and also a good low mile car to add to your collection, hich will only go up in value when properly maintained.
