Vehicle Description
We don't have to mention that this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette has been
given big investments over the factory performance setup. After
all, that big air scoop with a supercharger underneath instantly
commands all your attention. But while you already know this is a
street-eating powerful machine, the total investment in this coupe
was over $80k, and so it's also worth digging in to see just how
well done this full build is.
We'll get to the awesome powerhouse in a moment, but first, it's
worth mentioning the quality that surrounds it. The blue paint was
an upgrade later in life, and so the deep gloss is ready to show
off this Stingray's distinct lines...and there's a ton of them. You
have the factory pieces, like the sharply pointed front end and the
crisp fender tops. This combines with plenty of extra flare in the
fenders and an extra-large full-width rear spoiler. These later
years of the C3 had a cleaner design free from ornamentation, but
there's still some brightwork in this one. It's used to really
gives it some attitude. The hood scoop is a big announcement of
this car's power, the same goes for the wicked set of side pipes
and the polished alloys with extra meaty rear ones.
The glass T-tops look quite stylish when in place, and it only gets
better when you open this car up to the world. The full black
interior has a nice performance look that includes new carpeting
and the upgraded bucket seats with terrific bolstering and the
feeling of supple leather. You have some worthwhile features like
power windows, power locks, and provisions for air conditioning
(will need servicing before blowing cold again.) But the best
pieces are what keep this corvette so driver-oriented. The
three-spoke sports steering wheel is on a tilt column. It gives you
a clear view to the full upgraded Dakota Digital VHX gauge package,
including all the auxiliary readout in the center. And it all has a
cool blue glow that coordinates with the exterior.
Finally, it's time for all the details on that monster motor. There
was a ton invested giving this a show-worthy polished presentation,
because after all, you know everyone's got to ask you to lift the
custom hood everywhere you park this Stingray. The awesome package
starts with dual Edelbrock 750 CFM four-barrel carburetor that
feeds the TBS 6-71 blower. It sits on top of a 355 cubic-inch V8
from Big Al's Toybox. And something of this stature has been
fortified and enhanced further with an Eagle cast steel crank,
Eagle connecting rods, double roller timing, Comp Cams springs,
Manley stainless steel valves, and polished 64cc aluminum heads.
Plus, Doug's headers do a great job of adding power while also
announcing this Corvette's thunder through those side pipes. And
when you have this much power in an American muscle machine, you
expect it to be a wild child. But since this is a Corvette, you get
great features like the fully independent suspension, power
steering, a rebuilt three-speed automatic transmission (w/B&M
torque converter), and four-wheel disc brakes. So this is one high
horsepower classic that's easy to control.
We have a detailed file showing over $80k invested in the full
build. So it's a steal at this price. That's why you know you need
to hurry to catch up to this supercharged custom. Call today!!!
