1979 Chevrolet Corvette Description

Selling my 1979 corvette originally L82. I have owned the car for over 25 years. About 5 years ago I started the build. It was at many different shops throughout the state and has the best of the best parts installed. Over 80k invested. The car has been finished for about a year and only has about 500 miles on it since the build. Unfortunately a few weeks the car got away from me and ended up rolling. The goods news is that the car still starts right up and runs and drives. The bad part was that the insurance was not valid so now I'm stuck with it like this. I'd like to sell it as a whole before I part it out. For the motor it has a katech Street attack LS7 which makes about 700whp. Built auto trans, upgraded cooling system, steering rack, suspension, all new control arms, bushings, brakes, etc. Everything mechanically on the car has been upgraded. The interior however is still stock. The body of the car is all stock. It was a sleeper. I have folders and folders of paperwork and reciepts on this build. Please serious buyers only. No tire kickers. Obviously needs to some body work. I also have the stock L82 motor and trans with all the stock parts in a crate that will also come with the car.
