Vehicle Description
1979 Corvette
"The Peak Year"
1979 for Corvettes was a big year! Corvette production hit it's
peak in 1979 at 53,807, a record that stands to this day!
The 79 saw the crossed-Flag emblems on the nose and fuel door
revert to those seen on the 77 model. In 1978 the pace concept car
carried three features that where made into the 79 model making
this a special iconic corvette. The new bucket seats, the front and
rear spoiler package, and the glass roof panels. All T-tops were
now wired into the standard anti-theft alarm system.
Tungsten-halogen high-beam headlights became standard as did an
AM-FM radio, and for the first time a cassette tape player could be
added as a option. A wide-ratio 4-speed was available for all cars.
Noteworthy is that about 82% of the cars were ordered with manual
transmissions in 1968. In '79, less than 20% of the cars were
delivered with manual gearboxes.
This 1979 corvette is rust free with a clean body everything is
original has never been restored. Its all original paint. The pain
could use some TLC but other than that this corvette needs nothing
and is great to drive.
