I bought a sight unseen red 76 L48 w/ttops off ebay. I always wanted a Vette and I just did it. Girlfriend figured they were going to deliver a red Matchbox vette on a flatbed.
Regardless I got the car and is exactly like described. Interior is shot, tranny slips but the body is pretty clean and the engine starts right up and purrs. It has been 15 years since I worked on cars so I am a little rusty.
I pulled off door panels and it seems that red is the original color. Is that a safe assumption? I scratched a few places and could not come up with a different color anywhere.
How do I find out if I have the original engine? Is there a way to find out what the car came with originally?
Any ideas on how to get a new interior (door panels, console and dash) would be appreciated.
I have attached a picture (it is red, not orange).
I am psyched to own a vette finally and get working on it. Seems like I wanted one since High School.
