To all you C3 experts I need your advice. Deciding b/w a 78 Pace car and what I have now, a 78 Silver anniversary...
I can only afford 1, what is the best value and investment long term...
My car - 1978 S/A 4-speed L82 61K miles
needs paint $$$
wheels need to be refinished (aluminum) $$
no power windows, customer ordered it this way, build sheet verifies this also
no power door locks, rare combo????
stereo w/ only 2 spkers up front
complete history
build sheet
smog equipment intact
no mods, numbers match
drives and runs excellent!!
Thinking of purchasing 78 Pace car - AUTOMATIC 54k miles
have only seen pics looks excellent condition
no smog equipment
don't think it has any paper work
requires no repairs, no paint (maybe needs tires)
will be looking at this car next week
I want a C3 that will hold or even go up in value, however this would be a car I keep for the long term. My biggest concern is the 4-spd or automatic- hate to give up that 4-spd unless the PC is a better investment.
Assuming the P/C is in exceptional orig condition should I stay with what I've got or sell it and buy the limited edition 78 Pace Car?
PS- the P/C would be about what I have invested in the S/A, poss. a $ wash.
Your input and experience would be greatly appreciated regarding the 1978 Corvette.
thanks for you oppinions/suggestions...
