1977 Chevrolet Corvette L82 review from North America
"The car is a real attention/respect getter"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had to put a frame underneath the car. That's was only about 1,800 bucks, but it was something I could live with. Most issues with the vehicle were cosmetic. I had it repainted, shined the interior up by installing a new headlight switches, carpet, and putting a new stereo in the car.
General comments?
Most people get these vehicles and sink thousands into them, don't do that. Slowly put money into the vehicle otherwise you won't be happy once it's completely done. A lot of owners let them sit, so if you find one with low miles, then get ready to pay for seals and gaskets that have gone bad. It's normally small stuff, but one thing after another goes bad.
