1978 C3 Corvette
We bought this last month 
1978 Chevy Corvette 5.7 V8
its a fresh import so not road legal yet.
The head gaskets have gone and its missing a few interior bits so if anyone has any corvette bits laying around give me a shout

The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

The Americans can't do much right, but they can do muscle cars.
Not exactly my cuppa tea, but does look impressive.
And not sure whats going to cost more, the fuel bill or rear tyre bill

Great opportunity to upgrade the V8 lump to an LT5 or even better an LSx!

I love them - yes they have their flaws, but they are an iconic car without doubt.

Very Nice & good choice
Here's a few pics of my dads 1981 Corvette Stingray, he's had it for about 7 years now, put a brand new engine out of the crate in it last
year & supercharged it, running around 450bhp & a bag full of torque

Nice car but the iconic Corvettes IMO are the 1960 & 1967 427's

195 bhp but 265lbf
emissions kill the bhp and it only revs to 5k
