Digital instrument panel? Where do you get those?

I live in Arizona, no way I can keep this car black... I would like to though. Last question about this topic. Are the rear fender flares on the 79 and 80 the same?

picture?

The lights were a combination of a few things. Fuse and burnt out bulbs. The windows required taking the panels off around the center console, or in my case, I just didn’t have any. But I unplugged the switch and cleaned the contacts and sprayed it down with contact cleaner. That solved my...

True. I'm happy to hear it really is a 79, now I can put a 79 front cip back on it at some point and it truely will be a 79 again. I'm not sure why but I prefer that front end over the 80.

haha. Yeah I figured not. Thank you all for the help, I guess for some reason one of the previous owners changed out the front clip and rear bumper. I guess I'll have to do some reseach as to why.

The whole body is a 80, the front valance and rear spoiler, the side vents ect... Here's a pic after two solid weeks of work on the engine and body.

If I may. The craigslist post has been pulled, so what was the asking price for the amazing beast?

Hello all, I'm new to restoration Vette world and have always wanted a Vette project. I typically restore old Mercedes (80-81 500 SL's/ SLC). I finally found a perfect Vette to work on and I have a question. I purchased a 1979 Vette, I knew as soon as I saw the car it wasnt a 1979, yet the...

Wierd, I just purchased an 80 just about two weeks ago and I have all the same issues, I have fixed some, but none the less wierd coinendence.
