Cincy Classic Cars is proud to offer this 1979 Numbers Matching
Corvette which is in beautiful overall condition and priced to
sell. Amazingly this Corvette has only had one true owner
over the last 38 years. Mr Wells bought the car brand new and
had it in his possession until his passing this July 2017. He
kept particular care of the car and left it in a very original
state with a new paint job and an upgraded stereo which were the
only upgrades. It still had the original tires on the car when we
purchased it. His son inherited the car and we purchased it
from him as he was in need of money. This Corvette is a true
Factory ordered White/Blue Cloth Corvette as verified by pictured
trim tag below. This Corvette features a nice repaint, a
mostly original interior which is in great overall condition, and a
very strong running 350 engine which is original to the car.
This Corvette is very solid with great lines and gaps and
shows no signs of visible rust anywhere around the car. This
Corvette is finished in the beautiful and desirable color
combinations of White paint(code 10) over Blue Cloth (code 29C)
interior. This is the factory color scheme as verified by the
trim tag pictured below and one of the most unique color combos I
have seen on a later C3 Vette.
Exterior
The White exterior is in very nice restored condition. This
Corvette was treated to a professional paint job in the last few
years and looks and shows well. The paint is slick and smooth
to the touch and has a deep gloss when looking closely at it.
Both bumpers are in great shape with no flaking or fading
paint. The badges look good and so does the trim around the
car. There may be some minor imperfections that are not
noticeable in the photos, but nothing was intentionally excluded
from the photos. There are some scratches that were painted
over during the repaint at the bottom of the drivers door.
The tires are litterly brand new and have full tread left and
were just added to the car and are correctly sized 225/70/15 and
the wheels are OEM originals that are in nice shape. The t
tops come on and off nicely and fit snug and do not rattle while
driving. All glass is "LOF" original glass. The
headlights go up and down and work well but are a little slow going
up and down. The power antenna motor works properly and goes
up and down quickly as seen in the video.
Interior
The Blue Cloth interior of this Corvette is in great overall
original condition. The seat covers are original and in great
overall shape which says a lot considering they are cloth.
The carpet appears to be original as well and is in
great condition with no major stains or holes and looks excellent
in the car. The original dash is in excellent condition and
the dash bezel is in near perfect condition as well. The
stereo was upgraded years ago to a digital Alpine cassette player
and looks and sounds great. Thankfully the dash was not cut
on for a modern stereo. The Power antenna works perfectly
when the unit powers on and off. The original door panels are
in terrific condition and both door pulls are solid and in tact.
All interior and exterior lights and gauges work as they
should outside of the clock and oil pressure gauge. A new
sending unit was installed but the gauge still pegs and it appears
the wrong unit was installed. The horn, stereo, wipers, power
windows, and fan blower also work. The factory AC system is
in tact and the compressor kicks on and off as designed and the
system currently blows cold air. This car has not been smoked
in; there is no aroma what so ever.
Mechanical
This Corvette is in great mechanical condition and we have driven
it numerous times and it always performs very well and is a true
joy to drive. Very importantly the 350 engine is original to
the car. In the video one can observe this car running and
driving with no excessive rattles or noises, and the car handles
and performs well. The camera makes a little creaking/squeaking
noise when its moved around, you can hear the same noises in the
walk around video. The one owner of this Corvette kept
meticulous care of the car and regular maintenance was always
performed. This Corvette is an exceptional driver that feels
great on the road and at highway speeds. There is no smoke
when starting or driving the car. It starts right away every
time, idles well, and runs great. The brakes do not pull and
stop as they should. The brakes work very well. The
exhaust system is in factory original configuration and the
catalytic converter is still in place and functional. Also,
the engine is clean and nicely detailed as one can see from the
photos. The engine is very correct and looks factory stock.
This is a factory AC car and all the original AC components
seem to be on the car and the compressor kicks on and off when
engaged and the system currently blows cold air which is a huge
bonus on this car.
