[QUOTE=dsireme]One thing that is bothering me. The interior is blue. From my books, that wasn't an option for the silver anniversary paint. [/QUOTE]
 
Oops, never mind. It say Suggested Interiors shown. Additional combinations were possible. D'oh!Embarrassed

My 78SA has blue CLOTH interior and I think it looks great. Wanted the oyster like my first 78SA had back in 87 but I found this one and the blue grew on me. Little more pizazz than black, and rarer.
Looks like they have the car on consignment, so that price may be pretty firm.
See you tomorrow, got and answered your PM.

Vette(s): 1978 Silver Anniversary L82 4spd (M21) Red Leather. Pace Car is in the hands of a new caretaker.
Vega steering wheel? That aint right. Should be 3 spoke brushed stainless with anniversary horn button.Ermm
Looks stock under the hood, That's good.
Silver paint may look a bit thin in spots when you see it, but I'll take original paint over a new hack paint job that covers who knows what. Mine was all dull looking but boy it polished up nice.
Crank windows are rare but not worth any more, IMO.
Blue leather is nice, not too many of them around, but a lot more than 292.
His claim of only 3,348 4 speeds is wrong. They made 8,162 4 speeds. 3,385 where the M21 4 speeds. (close ratio)
I kinda like SA's anyway.Big%20smile And an L82, 4 speed is icing on the cake.
Good luck, and if it don't work out there are more out there. All it takes is money.Wink
Oh, no yellow shoes. The guy might think you're some kind of flake.LOL

TJ, looks like your on a roll. The two tone silvers are sharp. I agree that a car with no cover up is a keeper. Your most likley at a wait and see with your feelings. Drive it and see if it feels like you have owned it for ever. Pull over after a short drive and listen.......is it talkin to you? Wink  
Oh my call is Maroon on the heels Evil%20Smileebo smile

Actually my favorite color is black, just not in Corvettes :) As for red, well I have had most of my car accidents in red cars on Tuesdays. doh
 
You know, I never thought about wearing them backwards, then maybe I won't need to get the seats moved up. LOL and I have a really powerful big toe. Rolling%20On%20The%20Floor%20Laughing
 
Keep your fingers crossed for me. Oh, I have internet access on my phone, so if I do get it, you guys will hear. Big%20smile
