1979 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Additional Info:
After putting more than 2 years of work in my beauty my wife told me that she is pregnant. Well, one kid is not such a big deal and within 2 years, pregnant again. So its time to sell my beloved toy. This is a California car for 40 years, we moved 6 month ago to the East Coast. She got a rebuild engine 4 years ago with less than 10000 miles driven and a new transmission with 3 years warranty in 2017. I paid 8k for the professional paint job (have lots of pictures how they did it. New interior inclusive new dashboard, new door panels, new carpet, floor and trunk mate and new seat cushions. Dash cam (front and rear) Bluetooth, USB, Cup holder. rebuild glass tops (driver side has a crack on the inside) rebuild heater box and AC Box, almost all hoses new, new radiator, new ac-compressor, condenser, new evaporator. New windshield, all weatherstrips new, lots of polished parts, original rally wheels. New speakers, new tachometer, new original GM seat belts, new heater switch with new vacuum hoses. Remote entry with alarm, underfloor lights with switch and with timer via remote when parking. Original BF Goodrich Tires original Spare wheels, new storage boxes, new door actor and power window motors. New brake booster, master cylinder and brake calipers 18 month ago. New shocks 3 years ago. New vacuum system for the headlights.
She is my daily driver.
Some minor issues:
AC Hose on top of condenser connection is leaking tried to replace the sealing two times, don't know whats going on. At worst the new condenser is bad. Tachometer works only sometimes. I replaces the cable and I think the new one doesn't fit well. When car is hot the starter sometimes doesn't work. I assume that the soldering from the alarm is not okay or maybe the switch in the steering column. I installed a wire from 50 on the starter and if you put 12 volt on she starts perfectly. Cruise control doesn't work. I rebuilt the actor but did not finish to check it.
She is a real head turner and I hate to sell her but I don't have the time and the space to keep her.
