HI Pete. I have 78 L82 that i found setting in some uderground storage they have in KC MO. found the owner of the car and found out he is the original owner and it has been sitting there since 1992,asked him if he wanted to sale it and he said sure so i paid him $4,500.00. put 5 gal's of gas and a bat in it, started it up put it on my trailer and brought it home.Hi kwplot and welcome to the forum, tell us more about your Vette! Pete.
Kevin, nice pics and good work on the vette. You have a great find. Keep all the original parts and put them away for the next lucky owner.
"....After i got it home started doing some research on it and found out that it is a very original car still has the original motor, M21 trans, 3:70 gears..."
I thought Muncie's were no longer used in Vettes after 1975. I believe the Borg-Warner was the replacement. Also, 3.70 gears seems agressive as a stock item in 1978. I may be wrong.
Yes you are correct. M21 stands for close ratio and it is Borg-Warner ST10. My vette has the factory option gears in it 3.70. I really got lucky with this find,3,800 +/- had the M21 trans,around 800 had the glass t-top's,and i never could find any numbers on how may recieved the optional gears. This car is very well loaded with what was offered in 78,the only things i could find that the car did not have is,CB,cruise,trailer hitch.
You guys here at CAC should be happy. He didn't post the pictures of that skanky power brake booster before he painted it..
Hi there Kevin!!
Sorry guys, I just can't resist the chance to Kevin any time I can..
He's done a GREAT job on that Vette- I've seen it in person.
