Up for sale is our 1978 Corvette.  This beautiful car has a 350 V8 with an automatic transmission.  The car runs and drives like a dream.  I took it out for a ride yesterday and afterward was having second thoughts about listing it.  There isn’t much better than a red Corvette on a fall afternoon.  The car has recently had a lot of work done to it.  Within the past year or so the car was painted, had a new rear end put in, had all new brakes done, and received new upper ball joints.  Both windows work great and the doors close nicely.  This car does not rattle and shake going down the road like a lot of older vettes.  The rear frame rails are solid on this car which is not the case with a lot of the Corvettes of this era you see for sale.  The interior could use some cosmetic work but is perfectly usable as is.  Nothing needs to be done immediately; we have been driving and enjoying the car the way it is for the past few months.  I have taken as many pictures as possible to try and accurately convey the condition of this car and if you want to see something I don’t have in pictures please don’t hesitate to ask.   The car is currently registered and inspected in Maine and will be sold with a Maine Registration and Bill of Sale.   We drove it back to Mass on a hot August day from Maine and had absolutely zero problems.  This car is a nice driver and is a whole lot of fun.  We’ve listed it with a very reasonable reserve and think whoever gets it will be very happy with it.       

Please contact me to discuss a buy it now option, I will add it to the auction if we reach an agreement.  The car is available to be seen throughout the duration of the auction in zip code 02631.  I encourage all bidders to come and take a look at the car themselves.  I want whoever buys the car to be happy with it and I have no desire to misrepresent it in any way.  As always this car is sold AS IS, WHERE IS, no exceptions.  I will help your shipper load the car if necessary. Please do not bid unless you are serious.  Fewer than 10 Feedback bidders please contact me before bidding or your bid will be canceled.  There is a $500 non refundable deposit due via PayPal within 24 hours of auction end and full payment is due within 7 days.  Please ask any all questions before auction end.  If there is any possible question you could have please ask now rather than after you bid.  I have sold quite a few cars on EBAY and my 100% positive feedback rating reflects my desire to make sure every transaction is a good one.  Thanks for looking.
