I've got an '81 that is pretty far along, but needs paint and some body work. If you were of a mind to do that yourself, you could come out ahead of the game pretty well. I wasn't planning on selling it, but I might if it sounded good to someone.
It has a new 290hp GMPP crate 350
TH350C trans
Holley 4175 (Q-jet replacement spreadbore)
Performer intake
Dewitts aluminum rad w/ e-fans
Stan's Headers
True duals with Magnaflows
Rebuilt front end
Manual steering
no a/c (Delete plate on firewall)
I have the front and rear fascias as well as carpet/door panels/seat covers new in box. It will need a new dash and other interior pieces are cracked.
Frame has only light surface rust, birdcage is good as far as I can tell.
PM me if you want pics or more info.

I am trying to post up my 78 but am having trouble. Until then here are some details, maybe you are interested..
78 Black T-Top
Just had a Crate 383 Stroker put in, not even broken in yet, has about 25 miles.
New 350 Transmission and Torque Converter put in at the same time.
Automatic
New plugs and wires
Edlebrock Performer Intake
Q-Jet Carb.(needs a bigger carb, maybe Edlebrock 750)
Brakes all redone in July of 2011.
AC parts are there, needs new Evaporator i believe
Power windows work.
Interior Condition is about a 5. Could use some TLC
Passenger side door wont open. It got stuck one day and wouldn't open all the way, i think something came loose, so I just got it shut and didn't worry about it while I was doing the motor swap.
Headlights don't raise or lower with switch, have to do it manually. Could be just an air leak somewhere.
Wiper's worked before the motor swap but do not now, haven't investigated the issue.
Can provide more details and pics if interested. Thanks.
3257160599
Haven't even listed it yet so i'm listing it at what I have in it at this point. $13,000
Thanks.

It's not my ad, but I found this one about 20 miles from my hometown in central WI- $2950 http://wausau.craigslist.org/cto/3032313110.html
just type in "corvette" to the craigslist wausau search area and you'll find a ton of c3's in every condition you can imagine- and price range- from $2500 to $50k+... good luck with your search

74 L48 Coupe
1974 L48 Coupe - automatic - birthdate sometime in Sept 1974
It's now just over 62K miles.
Bought it from an older couple that are friends of the family, who bought it barely used back in the 70s.
Right after I got it, found the bumper covers terribly deteriorated, and they have been removed.
Originally whilte, but was repainted green. Have started stripping some of the paint
Following is what I've done with it so far:
New battery
New valve cover gaskets (don't leak anymore)
New water pump
New breather to hood seal
New hood insulation
New plugs and wires
New fuel line from pump to carb
New belts
New upper radiator hose
New vacuum hoses up and around the engine
New master cylinder, SS brake lines from the MC to dist block, and new SS front brake lines
New brakes (Vette Brakes & Products CX Sport package) - slotted rotors, calipers with O-ring seals, Hawk pads, braided stainless hoses, and trailing arm lines
New SS emergency brake kit (also VB&P)
I also have a box with OEM Stingray emblems and side markers, and a new mirror for the driver's door. Might be a few other things in there, but can't remember right now.
Also have the AIM, and a few Corvette books. As well as the original wheel covers.
Additionally, I've purchased the front and rear Truflex bumper covers and installation hardware. They are NOT installed.
Runs better than a new car. Just needs someone to finish and enjoy it. Car is in north central Indiana.
Asking $6500
