Well I just got my 1st vette. Its a 1979 L82 with a 4 spd trans. The car is non numbers matching. The engine is a from a 70 - 73 La built Camaro and the trans is out of a 82 Pontiac..... Its red with mirrored T tops
A little on the engine. The block has a edelbrock carb and intake. It also has aluminum heads on it. Im not sure what other stuff was done to engine. It has headers and a true dual exhaust.
The bad is that the Front passenger caliper leaks. But it still works. I have order a seal kit to try to rebuild it. I dont know if it has a SS lineing or not. I think it might be leaking do to sitting for 1 year. Also I found out the other day that the radiator will need to replace too it has a pin hole leak and sprays all over but does not leak alot of coolant. The T top leaks too. It will need paint but looks ok from 5 to 10 ft away.
The Car cost my $3,000 to buy. So I think I got a good deal still. It runs and drives, I have drove it all weekend. I got the car Friday after noon.
Do you think I got a good deal or did I get ripped off? I will post pictures later.
Let me give you all a little information on my self too. Im a 20 year old College kid. I do auto body work and I can Work on the car my self. Right now Im taking Airframe Maintance at my College.
