The day she came home January 30, 2018.  Three hour ride. I need an enclosed trailer.
It was interesting though, to see how many people came up beside me on the interstate, slowed down and just stared at the Corvette.
 

Not sure who was happier, the wife or the car.

Below is the entire original "for sale" ad as I saw it online.

1979 Corvette
St Paul, KS
$15,000

1979 Corvette L-82, close ratio 4 speed, Gymkhana suspension with 3:70 rear gears, factory alloys, glass mirrored t-tops.  Never wrecked, always adult owned and garage kept with 89,000 actual miles.  Original paint still has a nice shine but needs a driver seat cover, no rust, and under the hood all matching numbers original except for a full dual exhaust which is in good shape.








The End.
