If you look at the back of my car you can see that the left side is a little lower than the right. Air pressure in all of the tires are the same. Anybody know what might cause that problem?
 
On my "76" you can adjust the "ride hight" by tighen the bolt of the unispring. Tighten it up to raise the car and loosen it to lower it. I would check to make sure your's are at the same position. That is the easies solution I know to unlevel rear end.
 
This is a common occurance with our older Corvettes. There are 4 rubber body mounts on each side of the car. Over the years of driving the car, usually with just the driver onboard, the mounts on the left side get worn more than the right side (passengers side).

If you measure you will most likely find the front left is a little lower than the front right too..

As 76okievette explained you can adjust the rearend to help.. You can also change out the bolts if needed. Remember Shorter bolts makes it higher and Longer bolts makes it lower ;)
 
just put new bushings in my 1980, had the same thing, i got it right, took awhile, just adjust them, i also found that when you do this, the car wont settle down until you raise the back ( boths wheels ) off the ground, then drive it, one side i had to run the bolt up higher to get the same ride highth, takes time.
