L78 corvette is the first big block and 4 wheel disc brakes and side pipes. The engine is not original but is still a 396 just like factory. The car has power windows, power antenna teak wood steering wheel. Everything works perfect including the clock and radio. The car comes with a set of five knock offs (real deal) and a set of 17' American racing wheels. With the exception of the engine it is original. Only repainted once. I have the hard top for the car. The master cylinder has been changed to dual piston for safety. This car was stored inside and not drove from 1967 to 1995. I have copies of all the the titles to this car. The original owner of the car is still alive and confirmed the car to be a factory big block car and he Bought the car new at Sexton Chevrolet in Harriman Tennessee. This is one of the most rarest corvettes ever built. It's a car you can drive and enjoy that is sure going to do nothing but go up in value.

This car sounds unbelievable. This car is fun to drive especially take-offs. This car will pin you back in the seat as the side pipes sound amazing pounding the pavement. It's no wonder the corvette L-78 (396) was the death of fuel injection. This car is what turned corvette into a real factory hotrod. I have a video doing a walk around with the car running. It as clean underneath as it is on top. This is a car with a lot of power. I've had 8 second drag car and this car still amazing to me how a 50 year old have this much power. Even today there are very few factory built cars with this much power.
