This link will answer anything you could ever want to know about C3 Corvettes, like the one you are looking at. LINK On the left side of the screen are links to suppliers. Check out Wilcox and Corvette Central for an idea of what parts cost. I am building a 79 C3. With the help of that web page I linked to, mine now has a roller cam motor with Tuned Port Injection and a four speed automatic. You should go to the link and search both "Birdcage" and "Frame rust". These are the two most important things you need to know about before you spend a cent! The next time you go see this car, remove the kick panels in front of both doors on the inside of the car. What you will see is the bottom of the Birdcage, where it fastens to the frame, and a place you do not want to find rust. I bought one from LA (no rust) off E-Bay I had the owner post photos of the frame and body before I bid. I got the car for $5300 and flew to Los Angeles to pick it up. It was in such good shape, my wife and I drove it up the coast all the way to Seattle.
