This is my 78 'Vette page . My first 'Vette.

It is a 25 th anniversary edition,  But not original/stock.  Non matching #'s motor and tranny. 350 bored  30 over, 4 bolt mains, Crane cam, Edelbrock aluminum heads and Edelbrock Pro-Flo elctronic multi point fuel injection. Not quite 1000 miles on motor and tranny,

Runs and drives pretty good. Power steering leaks..  Other upgrades are : aluminum radiator, new tranny cooler,  new 700r4 tranny, new am/fm cassette/8 disc cd stereo, new a/c compressor.

New items that came with the car that have yet to be installed: new max performance suspension kit () , 4 new brake calipers w/pads, new weatherstripping for the t-tops,  new carpet, seat foams, leather seat covers, new master cylinder and some other stuff that I can't remember right now.

There are more dollars worth of new parts on /came with the car than what I paid for just the car!

First pics after getting it cleaned up

Will enjoy it while we can. Fix it up a little and sale it to make money to support my Mopar habit ! LOL

Black Beauty

Lets go for a ride !

This is the only real damage to the car .

I am having trouble getting a reliable body man to repair the hood so I may try myself. I f I can fix it fine, if I need a new hood I may repaint the entire car. Depending on the hood that I would buy will decide how I would paint the car. If I paint it the Anniversary colors ( silver or gray ) it would probably sell faster for a few more bucks. Black is the original color.


 

Been doing some playing here

I don't know if you can tell or not but I have put some red pinstripes on the hood, behind the front wheels and on the top of the rocker panels. I also stripped all the paint off the rocker panels and left them polished aluminum with a black accent stripe below the red pinstripe.  Don't know if I will leave it this way. depends on what I end up doing with the hood
