Indeed.
Though I actually thought :noes:
Certainly not unless we learn the proper speeling of "plaing".

Theres a time to be cool, and a time to be smart. Whats the point of having the damn thing if you cant afford to drive it. Your best bet is going for something like a honda, saturn, izuzu..the list of ricers go on. Good mpg, good reliability..cool upgrades.

No Corvette built during that period is worth it's fiberglas, and that is precisely why the price is so "reasonable".
Other Corvette owners would laugh at you.

Yeah, if you can find one of those, you could sell it and get 10 ZL-1s, 20-30 C-6s, a bunch of '63 split-windows, a couple of '53s, L88s...the sky's the limit.
You could probably even afford insurance. :D
BTW-
The chances of damaging the environment with a '79 'vette would be minimal; it had quite possibly the most comprehensive collection of anti-smog hardware ever jammed under the hood of any automobile in history.
A wise man indeed, must have been a wrench turner at some point in his life ;)
The car is more than likely a piece of junk if he’s willing to sell it for that price. It probably needs a shit load of work, which is going to cost a fortune and that’s probably the reason they’re getting rid of it.
Re: 1979 Corvette w/ a 350, suggestions?
so it's probably going to be something along these lines-

Re: 1979 Corvette w/ a 350, suggestions?
I also forgot to mention what a piece of shit this thing is to work on. You won’t be able to perform any routine maintenance on the car because it’s just too difficult. The only thing that you’ll be able to do is put gas in it, which you’ll be doing often. Any of the other work that will need to be done will have to be taken to a well qualified automotive technician like myself.

what makes it so difficult? I've never had the pleasure of turning wrenches on a corvette, so I wouldn't know.
