Beautiful 25th Anniversary Edition 1978 C3 Corvette with a MANUAL Transmission!!

Up for auction is a beautiful 25th ANNIVERSARY EDITION 1978 C3 Corvette with a 350ci engine (L48) and a 4-speed MANUAL TRANSMISSION with only 58, 48 ORIGINAL MILES. I am only the 3rd owner of this classic Corvette. It has been kept in a heated garage for most of its life. It has not been driven in or even seen the rain in over 24 years. It has also never seen salty roads. The interior is nice overall. The seats are partial leather and have had seat covers on them, ut do show some signs of wear (not all torn up). The car still has the original working stereo system, hich includes an 8-track player that still works!! It also has the original factory, atching colored, -tops (not glass tops) with the covers. I also have the after market canvas T-tops. It runs great, ut will need a tune-up at the start of next driving season. All of the gauges work except for the clock. It is ALL ORIGINAL under the hood with matching numbers. I have owned this car for many years. I will start it, rive it around the block, lean and wax it, nd then put it away. In fact, he wife and kids pick on me because they say I don't drive it enough to need to clean it and tell me I am too picky about my car!! I will be very sad to see this car go but I just bought a diesel truck and I need the space in my garage. It was either sell the car, r sell the house and buy one with a bigger garage, ut winter is almost here and I don't have the time to house hunt at the moment :) The Corvette is my dream car and now I have owned it. I feel that it is only fair that I givesomeone else the chance to do the same!!! Also, y reserve price is below the classic car appraisal!!
