not mine, just saw it: FS: 1979 Corvette project

1979 T Top that includes both the hard top and glass top panels.

350 engine with 4 speed automatic transmission

Original color is black with Oyster interior - exterior has been 90% sanded down to the fiber glass.

I have all the exterior trim and spoiler pieces and the engine air intake channels.

Engine completely rebuilt including - new pistons, cam, lifters, fuel pump, water pump, oil pump, oil pan, timing chain and gears, motor mounts, alternator, power steering pump, starter, harmonic balancer, radiator and radiator hoses and belts. I also added a chrome timing chain cover and have chrome valve covers. Replaced spark plug heat shields and most engine sensors. The only thing not replaced or rebuilt is the carburetor. Was going to get it running then do that later.

Breaking system completely rebuilt including - all calipers and pads, hard pipe, master cylinder and vacuum assist valve. Also replaced parking break shoes and cable.

Steering and suspension completely rebuilt including - upper and lower control arm bushings, control arms bead blasted and powder coated, all tie rod ends and ball joints, steering gear box, power steering assist cylinder, front coil springs and shocks.

Flip up headlights were both rebuilt. Replaced all springs and bushings. Need to replace actuator linkage on one side due to broken adjustment screw. I have that part. The header bar has been sanded, painted and reinstalled. That is where the headlights attach. It is glued to the front of the body above the lights to provide a mounting surface and to stiffen the area in front of the hood. These break loose after years and need that to be done. It was done for me by Jamison's Corvette on Ashley Phosphate.

Transmission and drive train rebuilt including - all universals, all transmission seals and filter (transmission not rebuilt), rear differential rebuilt and painted. All rear differential work as also done by Jamison's.

Exposed chassis sanded and painted in engine well and down each side. All removable cross members sanded and painted. All painted with epoxy chassis paint.

AC system - all new parts acquired. Installed the evaporator core. All other parts - condenser, dryer and compressor are in boxes.

Interior - installed new steering wheel and have all new carpet and seat covers in original Oyster color. Replaced driver door electric lock actuator and switch. Have actuator for passenger door. Have new ignition key switch. Have boxes full of small parts too many to remember or list. Also included is a nice all weather cover and some reference books.

The engine is in and connected. The distributor has been aligned and the valves adjusted. Just needs the driveshaft reinstalled and the fluids added to get it started. There is a battery, but not so sure it will take a charge.

$12,000 for everything as is.

Definitely not worth 12K in its unfinished condition.

You should buy one and throw the LS motor from the WS6 in it with a 6 speed bet it would get about 34 mpg highway if you left the motor untouched, and catch some people off guard. LOL
