More about this car
Listing details from the car's own eBay listing: Year: 1978; VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): 1Z87L8S421741; Mileage: 130000; Interior Color: Tan; Previously Registered Overseas: No; Body Type: Coupe; Number of Seats: 2; Number of Previous Owners: 2; Transmission: Automatic; Number of Cylinders: 8; Make: Chevrolet; Drive Type: RWD; Service History Available: Partial; Fuel Type: Gasoline; For Sale By: Private Seller; Drive Side: Left-Hand Drive; Engine Size: 5.7 L; Model: Corvette; Exterior Color: Silver; Car Type: Classic Cars; Number of Doors: 2; Features: Air Conditioning, Alloy Wheels, Power Steering, Power Windows; Vehicle Title: Clean; Engine: 350 Small Block Chevy; Country of Origin: United States. Solid, driver-quality classic. Lifelong Arizona car with no rust-through or rot, just light surface rust typical for its age. Gray paint is driver quality with some dings and scratches; looks good at 10 feet. Interior is complete with normal wear.Recent work: newer windshield, Holley Brawler carb, Edelbrock Performer EPS intake, electric pop-up headlight conversion, new T-top weather stripping, new fuel filter and engine bay fuel line, new radiator hose clamps, new speedometer cable, brake pads replaced. Runs and drives great with strong, steady vacuum.Needs: speedometer gauge (needle broke, so odometer doesn't work; true mileage unknown, replacement odometer included), wiper arms (motor untested), parking brake cable hookup. Windows shouldn't be run fully down or they can come off track. Minor oil seep. Old emissions hardware still in place but disconnected. A/C worked when last used but is untested.
What the pictures show
- Most photos are still distant views on grass — detail condition can't be judged properly from any of them.
- The car reads dark grey / charcoal rather than the listed silver, and the finish looks dull and flat — budget for paint correction and verify the colour in person.
- The body looks complete and broadly straight at that distance — no bodywork judgement beyond that is possible.
- Wheels and tires look used but present from afar — check age and tread in person.
- Engine-bay photos show a modified top end — aftermarket carburettor, open red-element air filter and coloured plug leads — with dirty, rusty ancillaries around it, so budget for a bay tidy and a full mechanical check.
- No interior photo in the set, even in the fuller set — the tan cabin's condition can't be judged from what's shown.
- The underside is not shown in any photo — frame and birdcage condition are must-verify items on a C3.
Money: at $9,500 the fuller set still shows only a dull, dark-looking car at a distance and a modified, dirty engine bay — interior, underside and paint in person are must-verify items before paying.
