For Sale: 1979 Chevrolet Corvette in Long Island, New York

Vehicle Description

It is with great regret that I am posting this car for sale. It is a project that I cannot currently undertake. I have owned this car for 7 years. I had of course hoped to completely rebuild it but priorities and resources have changed. NOT RUNNING! (Needs motor work, was running like shit when I parked it, now needs a new battery too.) 350 small block th350 automatic transmission - works fine was inspected and resealed a few years back and has about 2000 miles on it since. All photos are this actual car. While the photos look great the car is in average condition with a fair amount of patina. Power windows work, All lights work but the head lights must be put up and down manually as the vacuum lines are old and cracked. Its a pretty easy fix that is very common on these older cars. The Brakes and Suspension were also rebuilt about 1000 miles ago. Clean title in my name. Come check it out; bring a trailer, and please bring cash. White/Red colors: For those of you that are new to the world of corvettes, the color of every car produced during the first year of production, 1953, was white with a red interior. I can just imagine the sales person trying to convince every person that looked at one, they could have any color they liked as long as it was white (with red interior). Well in doing so, Chevrolet actually made that color scheme the most iconic for its American sports car and even for every other sports car in the world. I for one, am in love with it. What makes the '79 corvette so unique? Well, 1979 is the last year you could get the classic Stingray body without front and rear spoilers. In 1980 the formerly optional bolt-on spoilers became integrated into the body on all cars. In addition, the modern high-back sport seats, that were previously debuted (and only available) on the 1978 Indy 500 Pace Car special edition (in silver leather no less) became standard on all cars in '79. The pace car also came with spoilers front and rear. That makes the 1979 model year a "one year only"option for a c3 corvette with the more classic pre-spoiler body combined with the more modern interior featuring high-back sport seats. Well for me this is the sweet spot so to speak as I never really like the spoilers on a C3 that much. Speaking from a stylistic point of view, in my humble opinion the C3 "Stingray" body style is already so dynamic and truly amazing that adding spoilers, scoops, flairs, or any modification at all just seams over the top. Here is aerial footage of this car driving from several years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=AoSCKZTbvVQ Thanks for checking out my post! *Vehicle Location is at our clients home and Not In Long Island *Please Call First for location and talk to one of our reps at 516 376 3471 ** FREE Consignments!!
