1979 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Targa Over $40K Spent ON Mechanics Alone

Up for sale. I have this '79 C 3 Corvette targa top. My father and I are the second owners since imported. Have spent a lot of money on it mechanically. Exterior and interior needs some TLC although everything is all functioning right. My father and I purchased this car a little over 24 months ago with the intention of fully restoring it and building a complete show car. Unfortunately we started with the most expensive part (the mechanical). and have lost interest and ran out of funds. This car is low. loud and mean! Stand out from the crowd of other C 3 Corvette owners. Well over $40 k has been put into this car. just in the engine. and suspension. New engine. brakes and suspension have done less than 3000 kms!!

Was previously looking for swaps.
