1978 Chevrolet Corvette L-48 review from North America
"We are great friends my Corvette and I!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This was a "barn car" that needed some of the "soft seal" items freshened. Like the brake booster needed to be replaced, calipers leaked a bit, but for a car of this age it was in amzingly good condition and the parts are cheap, cheap, cheap. Many of them were available at NAPA right off of the shelf. Weatherstrip in these cars always seems to go, but again was not a big deal to swap out.
General comments?
This has been a love affair. The car is fast, great looking and extremely affordable fun! I want a fleet of these. So under rated for its price.
