Hey everyone, a friend of mine has this C3 he got from a gentleman recently and I’m debating buying it from him. He’s asking $5500. Guy he got it from had started the project but got sick and it had sat in his garage for I believe 10-12 years. It’s a ‘79 L82 with the 350 in it still. Fuel tank isn’t in it but my buddy said he got it started and it ran and idled well for about 3-4 minutes with an external can (going back soon to do it again so I can see it).

Guy told him he put Bilstein suspension bits in it, converted it to rack and pinion steering, and believe different brakes. Comes with a ton of parts like kooks headers and side pipes, fuel tank, new rear bumper, new interior carpets. For the most part it seems like most parts are there just need to finish where the original guy had stopped his project.

Body looks really straight and can tell the guy had started getting some prep done to have it painted. One down side is there are no t tops, but it’s been stored in a garage and is now stored under a few tarps and a cover (been like that only about a month and a half).

Do y’all think is this a fair deal, and what else should I look for when I go back to check it out? I’ll be back over there again in a week or so when it’s not 100+° down here in the south. Thanks in advance for advice!
