In 1979 there were only around 370 corvette L-82's produced with optional close ratio M-22 manual transmission.

uhhhhhhh ... Correct me if I'm wrong but the factory never put a m-22 in a 79 .... did they??? They must have - I just saw it on ebay!!!

but my favorite line is
...it just needs a shortblock.
ohhhh is that all? Wow for 10k I'd expect a whole lot more than that!!! :crazy: :crazy: :smash:

Hey one good thing did come out of this..
I was wondering how that type of scoop would look on a C-3.
Looks good IMO
Now I don't have to ask :)

Interesting. In 1979 8,291 M20s were installed and 4,062 M21 close-ratio on L-82 only. Last year for M22 seems to be 1972.

I am suprised he didn't mention the ulta-rare factory 1979 chrome sidepipes and the even rarer yet factory shaker hood scoop! I think there was only .5 of those ever produced. :D :smash:

How about the "60,000lb clutch", I guess I'd have to work out a little before driving that car!

Well, I think he's attempting to be honest, I mean "one of 370???" I would've though with that 600hp L-82 it'd be much rarer than that!!!:yesnod: I'm suprised he's not claiming "one of one" built by GM. The car behind it with the wing I remember seeing in "The Farts and the Curious", oops, er, I mean the "Fats and the Ferocious" :confused:

i just find it curious as to why he states that it is an l-82......cuz from the looks of it i would definately have to assume that even if the l-82 is still in there its been modded so much that it no longer qualifies as a l-82 and in that case wheres the value in that claim...??? :rolleyes:
i dont know

Owner also states "he has all the original parts to put it back stock". Does that mean he has the "original" square piece of fiberglass he cut out of the hood too???

"e-Bay"!!! Where America shops for Corvettes!!! :yesnod:

I'm ready to hit the "buy it now" button :lol:
