Vette(s): 1979, Targa Blue (72 Color), Pace Car rear spoiler, L88 hood, Dark blue factory interior, 525HP 406, HD 700R4, 370 gears,Steeroids, composite rear spring, TT IIs wrapped in T/A Radials.
Get her on a lift as recommended if you're still considering this one. If you're not nuts for a numbers matching resto, this could be a candidate but also as mentioned, the price is high...
Look at the condition of the trailing arms and rear suspension, front suspension and look for any open weld seams around the front spring pockets. rad supports usually rust out. How much PS fluid is showing around the steering ram and valve. and it does not make sense to put all that work into a paint job and leave the cruddy old weatherstripping in place....
We could go on all day but these things would really tell you alot.
Last time it was registered? The odometer/speedo would have had to be working then....
The big block hood threw me also. First thing I noticed....
BE CAREFUL WITH THIS ONE!!
Good Luck

Looks to be resale red and when they say "won't last long " beware. You may have to put some cash in this one to bring it up to what you want it to be and the 25K is kinda high I think.
