Trying to gauge some interest in my 1979 Corvette. Bought it in May, drove it about 300 miles. Just sits and collects dust mostly. It’s a driver, not a show car, but overall in fairly good shape. Body is in fairly good shape, was repainted within the past few years to a dark gray metallic color. Has minor nicks around headlights and slight peeling near rear wheel well.
The car has about 104k miles. Engine runs great and auto tranny shifts smooth.
Needs some minor exhaust work, a little interior work, and some vacuum lines replaced/adjusted. But otherwise it’s a solid runner and is currently running and on the road/inspected. It’s a car that can be driven while you tinker with it.
Just don’t have the time or desire to do anything so I’m looking to let it go to someone who will give it a little more attention. Looking for $6500/best offer. Would consider trades.

When you take pics you want to get more of the car in frame, not just parts of it.

It’s all there, you just need a big monitor until the monkey gets the image resizer working again.

You can open your pics and resize to 640x480 of smaller and re-upload. They will show up correctly on all resolutions. Can also right click and select view or download to your PC to see the entire image.

Only half the car showed up for me as well on my monitor - all I did to fix that was right click on the picture and open in new tab. Then i could see the whole thing. Looks pretty damn nice.

the stingray name was introduced in the 60s with the split window vettes because they somewhat had a stingray appearance, and the name kinda stuck around til like 75 or 76, and the difference was mostly just in the body/bumpers once the generation turned to the c3. i think toward late 70/early 80s there was a mako instead of a stingray.

Love this body style, just buy a crate motor to drop in and you got yourself a car with some balls
