If it has transmission issues it most likely has been abused. I would pass on it. You can get one with around the same mileage with no issues for 19-21K at least around here.

What do you guys think of this deal? There is this guy that trades me a 1979 corvette all stock matching numbers in good condition, he will give me the vette and $1500 on top, do you think is a good deal or should I pass on it?

Pass if you want seomthing fast. If you don't care and want the older vette for looks go for it

C3 is probably my favorite body style but I would only want one with an LSx swap. Keep looking around, there are deals to be had out there.

So what your saying is you wanna trade a ws6 cammed/full bolt ons with 70k miles for a regular c5 with 100k and 4k cash?
Hellllllllllllll no!
The only thing you should consider trading it for is a c5z or a c6. The c5 vettes imo are to common anyways. At least you stand out more in the ws6 and a bit more in a c5z&c6!

Z06 transmissions are pretty lame actually. 3rd gear in my Z06 went at 46k miles when it was bone stock. I didn't want anything to do with just fixing the issue and moving on because I had mods planned, so I spend the $2500 on the RPM transmission.

I just wouldn't assume that the guy beat the **** out of it, because it's a pretty common issue.

Lol keep the WS6!!! Anything else than a C5 Z will be a downgrade. A C5 would be ok too. A base c5 vette is not any better than a fbody IMO, except for the rear end.
