Default Wanted: 78 or 79 C3 dark brown paint eventually dark blue

Hi,

I am looking for a 78 or 79 C3 in mostly original condition. It should be in an excellent condition from a technical skde, paint can have some minor scratches or flaws but should be mainly shiny.
Interior should either be original with some patina or a well done replacement.

I would prefer a dark brown metallic paint and dark brown or beige interior. Second choice would be dark blue metallic and beige or oyster interior.
Automatic transmission is preferred. Tilt tele steering wheel is a'must. L82 would be nice. If 79 the car should have no front and back spoiler.

The price depends on the condition of the car but should anyhow be under 20.000. Please send me a pn with potential offers.

Thanks and kind regards,

Phil

Default 79 Corvette

Hi Phil, I have a very nice '79 with original oyster interior. The paint is high-gloss black with a couple of small imperfections...the car is a stunner. The engine is original with some new parts, alternator, water pump, etc. Overall, this car is great. A couple of minor mechanical issues (leaking power steering pump, horn inop)...I just listed it on ebay today with a buy it now price of $8,500. It's a real bargain at this price. I'm making room in my garage for another toy. Check it out here:

Let me know.
