Custom 1978 Corvette Hot Rod Acceleration

1978 Chevrolet Corvette Hot Rod Custom fiberglass nose and tail. These are fiberglassed on, so there is no seam. The tail lights are hemispherical "bubble" lights frenched into oval recesses. Includes stock two-piece T-tops and a one piece clear lexan top. Seats are custom racing style reclining seats. Four-point harnesses. Blaupunkt CD player. Hilborn scoop, dual quad carbs (Holley), tunnel ram. I didn't build the engine, so I don't know what mods have been done, but the car hauls freight! Four speed manual. BF Goodrich T/A tires on wide turbine wheels. The entire suspension has been rebuilt with new upgraded components, and it handles better than my autocross Toyota MR2! The brakes were also replaced with upgraded components. The suspension and brake rebuild was $8,500 in parts alone. The differential has been rebuilt. The battery is brand new. I am legally blind and no longer able to drive, so this beast is for sale. I have $14,500 into the car, not including labor. I'm asking $13,000, but I'll listen to any offers. The car is in Charleston, SC. Email me at rico-mon@comcast.net. There are some cracks in the left rear fender where the tire hit it. The paint has seen better days. The U-joint clips need to be replaced regularly if you have too much fun with the throttle. The speedometer needle is broken off. The wipers and turn signals don't work. I put the wipers on it, but the switch may be defective. Because of the large volume intake, a vacuum pump should be installed on the brake booster.
