[QUOTE=zgator]A lady I work with call me and asked if I was the Mike that owned a Corvette.I told her yes that would be me.She told me she has one for sale and would I be interested.Come to find out it a 78 Sliver anny with the two tone silver/gray paint.I also see that it is an L82 4 speed car.Her and her husband are the original owners.I could not find any rust under the car at all.I did see that the front end has just been rebuilt and a new exhaust put on.car has 57,000 miles(not turned over)oyster leather int.new tires.Paint is a little oxidized but still very presentable.Runs real strong,very well maintained car.I'm pretty sure she will accept my offer of $7,500.She will let me know monday.Does this soud like a good deal?I don't know much about 78's.I do know about the L82.Any 78 owners or anybody else tell me any more stiff I should look for.Everything works A/C,even the clock works.These are older people and every time something didn't sound right it went into the shop.Bubba has not got ahold of it and like I said they are the only owners of the car.It's all stock.Tell what you think.[/QUOTE]

that was kind of the situation i had when i got my 79. from the description, its about in the same condition its no show car, but it has all the original stuff on it, everything works fine, and the car has always been garaged since new, and i have all the dealer papers and 25 years of repair records! of course i know this because the car is something of a hand-me-down from my uncle who passed on about two years ago. my aunt had originally wanted to sell it for about $8k or so, and if she hadnt given me the car, it would have gone quickly. im glad it stayed in the family. i hope the buyer enjoys the car, and maybe well see him on c3vr!

too bad it got away, it is easy to find a vette for sale , but difficult to find one all original especially from the original owners.
