1979 CHEVEY CORVETTE L82

Description for Chevrolet Corvette 1979

I AM SELLING THIS FOR A FRIEND THAT IS NOT EBAY SAVVY. LET ME START OUT BY SAYING IM NO CORVETTE GUY. I WILL LIST THIS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY AND HONESTY. IT IS A REAL L82 ACCORDING TO THE VIN AND DOOR TAGS. IT WAS A FACTORY BLACK CAR THAT SOMEONE EARLIER IN ITS LIFE PAINTED IT TO LOOK LIKE A PACE CAR COLOR OR ANNIVERSARY VETTE. IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS. IT DIDNT RUN WHEN MY FRIEND BROUGHT THIS TO MY SHOP. AFTER LOOKING AT IT I FOUND THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE WAS CORRODED. I REPLACED WITH ANOTHER ONE AND THE CAR WAS ABLE TO START. IT RUNS AND DRIVES PRETTY GOOD IN THE PARKING LOT. I DIDNT WANT TO GO VERY FAR AS IT WILL NEED SOME TLC. EVERYTHING WORKS, HEADLIGHTS,TURN SIGNALS,WIPERS. THE RADIO,HEATER CONTROLS AND THE POWER WINDOW SWITCHES IN THE DOORS DO NOT WORK. THE WINDOW SWITCHES WORK IN THE CONSOLE TO ROLL WINDOWS UP AND DOWN. THE POWER STEERING PUMP LEAKS A BIT AND WHEN IT FIRST FIRES UP IT DOES NOT SEEM TO LIKE THE COLD. ONCE IT WARMS UP IT IDLES FINE. THE TIRES ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AS ARE THE RIMS. THE PAINT AND EXTERIOR LOOK PRETTY DARN GOOD WITH SOME MINOR CRACKS HERE AND THERE BUT STILL PRESENTS NICELY. THERE IS SOME SURFACE RUST UNDERNEATH WITH THE WORST SPOT UNDER THE DRIVER FEET AND THE FRAME HAS A FEW SPOTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE AS WELL. I TRIED TO GET SOME PICS FOR YOU TO SEE. ALL IN ALL ITS STILL VERY SOLID. THE BIRDCAGE AS EVERYONE REFERS TO DOESNT LOOK TO BAD EITHER. SOMEONE ALONG THE LINE PUT A NEW EXHAUST ON IT BUT IT DOESNT LOOK RIGHT TO ME. AS I SAID IM NO VETTE GUY. ALSO THERE SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE A PIECE OR TO MISSING ON THE T TOPS TO LATCH THE REAR OF THE TOPS IN. THE FRONTS HAVE A LATCH. THEY LATCH AND HOLD ON FINE BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT SOMETHING IS MISSING. THE GLOVE BOX DOOR DOES NOT STAT LATCHED AS SEEN IN A FEW PICS BECAUSE THE PLASTIC PC BROKE. WELL I THINK I HAVE COVERED EVERYTHING. AS I STATED I WANT TO BE AS HONEST AS I CAN IN THIS DESCRIPTION. I COULD NOT FIND THE ENGINE VIN TO VERIFY IF ITS NUMBERS MATCHING OR NOT. IT HAS THE RIGHT INTAKE AND EVERYTHING ELSE I CHECKED. IN CLOSING THIS IS A REAL L82 THAT NEEDS SOME LOVIN IN AREAS AND THEN YOU HAVE A PRETTY COOL CAR. YOU CAN DRIVE IT AS YOU TINKER WITH IT. IF ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME THROUGH EBAY. I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. AS ALWAYS WITH BUYING AN OLD CAR THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES. BEING SOLD AS IS WITH CLEAR OHIO TITLE.
