looking to get a corvette for the wife and she likes the 1979s the best, must be a manual trans, prefer any color except red, can be stock or modified but should be good to high driver quality. I will of course try to steal it from you on price but am also realistic and know that I'm not gonna find a perfect restoration or documented 0 mile car for $5.00 so let me see what you have
not against buying from a dealer but I would prefer to give my money to a fellow forum member for now, that being said the pro team yellow car would be perfect if I didn't think that they were asking for twice its value (I dont think that i'm that far off on price but please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong so I can adjust my expectations
the pro team yellow one is gorgeous to be sure low miles and code 52 yellow is an excellent shade for the shark lines ( i owned a 1977 code 52) but ridiculous in asking price!! the blue one from american sportscar center is a great shade too, a friend of mine owned this exact car that he bought new in 1979--just a great color! the one conte's has is very reasonably priced i have known about joe conte and his business for a number of years there is no finer dealer anywhere in the states! but, that shifter....ugh!! still for the price, a small annoyance! i remember a post a while back from a guy (forum member) in new york with a 1979 manual shifter for sale for around 10K i think it's still listed on vettehound, so maybe check that one out! whatever you decide, 1979 is a very refined cruiser and a good corvette for the money.

here is 3 of them for sale,one for 4.45 that needs a bit of work,one for 11 and the other hasnt a price listed. By the way,this is a great mag to keep your eye on,some real deals pass thru here. http://www.auto-rv.com/results.aspx?...ckval=corvette
looks like the white one is the only 4sp and thats a little more involved of a project then I want (I seem to suffer from this disorder of "whileimatititis". since I have to put a new nose on it I might as well pull the engine "while i'm at it", since the engines out I might as well clean up the bay "while i'm at it" , since the bay is all cleaned up I might as well make the tranny all purdy too "while i'm at it" , since I'm gonna pull the tranny I might as well clean up the whole frame "while i'm at it" , the best way to do that would be to pull the body "while i'm at it" since the body is off I wonder how much more work it would be to fit a ls-1-3-5-7-x-ect "while i'm at it" , this engine just wouldn't be done justice without a 6sp "while i'm at it" ect.ect.ect.ect.ect)
This'll make her happy, and help out a forum member too!
Best of luck
thanks wuttin,
that's the one i was referring to! dave's black 1979 looks to be in very original condition and a very reasonable price for it! if i was ready, it would be in my garage but, not ready to pull the trigger just yet.
so, there you go mjn76!! send dave a pm and see what you can work out!! and dave, best of luck!! ...............chris
thanks lots for looking out guys I have been out of town for a while and haven't had time to go online for a while (for some reason my work laptop restricts this site but allows some very adult site-i.t. guy must be a viper guy ) I will try to get a hold of the seller this weekend but I think am out of town for the next 2 weeks (Colorado & Houston, just got back from Michigan) but I think that I have to be in new york in the next month or so so if any one is avail to possibly check this out for me let me know, and please keep lookin just in case thanks all
