It's shitty, like the rest of my vehicles.

I bought a Corvette.

Bought a 1979 Corvette L82 automatic.
It's the crappy, nondesirable year, and it's not even the undesirable year I want. My favorites are 1975-1977, but the price was right on this one.

At least it has enough attitude to wink at you.
I called it a wink as well, my buddy went with lazy eye.

Well my old man can say that his truck has a Corvette engine in it.

Haha, what will you do with it? Put the engine back in the Corvette? Any body work plans for it?
Goal is to get it running and driving, and then just see from there.

So much ugly. And in CA it's not old enough to get around emissions, so it's as cool as its going to get lol
Good thing he isn't in CA. 
I dont think any Corvette is "undesireable"...
Sure,maybe some years aren't as great as others--but I wouldn't mind having one of ANY vintage...(as long as I wasn't who had to fix it!)..
A guy I worked with had a "77 Vette--I dont think he spent one weekend alone--always had some hottie with him..of course,he lived on a 33' boat and was not exactly poor either..

No hub caps!?? 
The wheels are gone as soon as I get some replacements.

Can the chrome trim be removed from around the rear glass?

Rally's I trust
They started to get a bit better in 78...75-77 were the worst years to get...anemic performance and like most other GM products of the era plagued with little problems all the time. Not that 78 was much better but at least it was on the upswing again. Is that a L-82 emblem on that hood? It "should" have 4 bolt mains, but seems like that is always a hit or miss thing with GM. The L-82 is a 220hp 78-79
strip it down and make a autocrosser out of it!
