This car is amazing, and straight pipe, full body rumble. This is my dream car, however I am looking to complete an overhaul to a 79, and do not want to impact this rare beauty.
This is a rare L82, and Manual transmission, with only 27k miles. Put on (400) miles since i purchased and had it shipped from California.
Out of 53,807 highest on record corvette sales, only 14,516 were produced with L82 engines.
Only 4,062 were produced with 4-speed Manual transmission.
Vehicle is 44 years old and has matching numbers, and believed to have 27,318 miles.
This is a garage kept vehicle.
Model: Corvette C3

Less than 20% of L82 production were manufactured with Manual transmission. 14516/0.20 = Approximately 2900 were produced.
I did purchase replacement Springs and Shocks due to the weight of the engine over 40+ years, however do not have them installed.
I had them custom ordered from PerformanceOnline
