1977 Chevrolet Corvette review from North America

Door Handle (exterior driver side of course)

Oil seal replacement.

Many parts replaced when received.

General comments?

This beautiful car has always been a childhood dream to own and now it's a reality that has been considered a nightmare to some, but so far, heaven to me. Owning a car that is over 25 yrs old is of course going to give you the annoying problems to fix, but I read somewhere that owning an old corvette is just like a marriage. In fact it even costs more and even lasts longer. So far my repairs have been annoying, but the overall apperence is awesome. If you go by the 5 foot rule were you stand 5 feet away it looks perfect. I've only spent about 500 dollars so far and I only need to spend another 2000 thousand to make every little anal thing complete and perfect. The initial purchase price was 8,500 which is great for a car in this condition and it is more than fun to drive on those little highways were very few state patrol cruise. Every time I stop at a light or at a gas station (which I have to do often) someone always has to comment on the beauty of my classic beauty. You could spend 40,000 dollars on a escalade or a BMW, but there are so many of them out there they never get noticed. At least not nearly as noticed as the old Generals Macho shark look. The best thing to remember is the cheaper the initial price the more money needs to be pumped into your girl to make her look respectable. In most cases the higher the initial price the less that needs to be done.
