Default My 78 Corvette was totaled last year.

Can anyone help me find a 78-82 Corvette. I can pay up to $7,500.00. I'd really like to own another Corvette. Any help would be a great help.
Thank You

Try Vettefinders.com who happens to be a forum vendor. Just click on the logo under "Buy a Vette" on the right of your screen. At least one of the guys there is a forum member and owns a 78 Pacecar.

I have a 1978 Silver Anniversary that's not for sale, but I might entertain the possibility. Not sure where you're at in TN, but I'm only about 2 hours from Bristol TN.

My 1978 is pretty much stock, number match, decent paint, L-48, Auto, black interior, CD player, etc.



Email me if you're at all interested, and maybe my wife will want to sell :crazy: (she drives it more than I do)

There is an 81 in town that needs a good bit of exterior and interior work. He is asking 3800.00.
There is also an 80 30 miles away for 10,000.00
Then there is a forum members 81 for 3500.00 with no engine but has a 700 R4, I am still dreaming of that one.
