Please call Greg directly at 513-200-9226 with any questions about
this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is proud to offer this 1979 Corvette in
excellent condition with only 89,735 original miles. This is an
excellent opportunity to own a very unique and interesting Corvette
as this is the 79th Corvette made for 1979. The production sequence
number for this car is 00079 meaning it was the 79th car off the
line for the model year. This is fun and interesting little fact
that makes this car unique.
This Corvette looks great, runs very strong, and is an amazing
driver. The car is totally solid with excellent lines and no rust
issues. It is finished in the beautiful color combination of
Corvette Yellow (52) over Black Leather (192). This is the correct
and original color scheme as verified by the codes on the trim tag
pictured in this ad. It is particularly important that the color
code is original for this car as Corvette Yellow is the most rare
color in 1979 with the lowest production.
This Corvette is ready to be used and enjoyed. We have this car
priced to sell and are offering a beautiful and unique corvette at
an unbeatable value. One could easily buy this car now and sell it
for more than the purchase price in years to come as the market on
C3 Corvettes is very hot right now and on the rise. The low
original mileage is verified not only by the condition of the car,
but also the clear Ohio title, pictured in this ad, that shows the
mileage as actual. Please peruse all of the photos, video, list of
numbers, and other information to get a true sense of how clean and
nice this Corvette really is.
As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle. We
hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our Corvettes come
from owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give
the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and
encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car
inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We
photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the
Corvette, just give us a call.
Exterior
The Corvette Yellow (52) exterior is in fantastic driver condition.
As one can see in the photos the paint has a great gloss, deep
shine, and smooth finish. Both doors open and shut nicely. The
aluminum wheels have a brilliant finish with no curb rash. The
Hankook tires are brand new and are the correctly sized 225/70R15.
There are no major imperfections that have been intentionally
excluded from the many photos. There may be some tiny imperfections
around the car that were too faint to show up in the photos and
some faint blemishes b the right headlight, but nothing else that
is really noticeable from about five or ten feet away. As one can
see in the many photos of the underside of the car, it is very
clean underneath and this car has no rust issues. The frame is
totally solid with no rust around the "key hole" area in front of
the rear tire and we have seen no corrosion around the windshield
or "birdcage." We have included specific photos of the areas most
prone to rust to show how nice this car looks.
Window Date Codes
Windshield - TJ - The "T" indicates August and the "J" indicates
1978 so this window is original, made in August of 1978.
Driver's Window - UJ - The "U" indicates July and the "J" indicates
1978 so this window is original, made in July of 1978.
Passenger Window - JJ - The first "J" indicates May and the second
"J" indicates 1978 so this window is original, made in May of
1978.
Rear Window - JJ - The first "J" indicates May and the second "J"
indicates 1978 so this window is original, made in May of 1978.
Please note that ALL of the glass on this Corvette, the rear
window, both door windows, and even the windshield, are all date
coded and original as each piece predates the car's body build date
of the August 25, 1978 (A25). Original glass is another great
verification that this car has had no accident history and never
sustained damage.
Interior
The Black Leather interior in this Corvette is in great condition.
The seats look excellent with no holes, no split seams, and no
excessive wear. There is just a small amount of wear in the typical
spot on the bolster where the driver gets in and out and the seats
look just as good in person as they do in the photos. The gauge
faces are clean and crisp and the lenses are clear. The carpet is
in good condition throughout with no holes or stains. The dash and
console look awesome with no cracks or sun fading. The door panels
are in great shape overall. The door pulls are solid and intact.
The original radio works well and gets good reception. Most
importantly the dash has never been cut or modified for an
aftermarket installation. The jack and jack handle are still with
the car, stored correctly behind the passenger seat. The original
spare is still with the car and has never been used.
Corvette interiors from this era are not known to wear well and the
excellent condition of this interior is a huge testament to the
meticulous care and attention this car has received throughout its
life and another great verification of the low original
mileage.
Mechanical
This Corvette seems to be in very good mechanical condition. The
car starts right away every time, runs well, and idles smooth. It
drives amazing on the road and at highway speeds. In the video
below one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to
about 70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight,
and going through some curves. Please note that there are no
strange noises or vibrations and the car performs quite well
overall. The transmission shifts well throughout the power band.
The brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other.
The car runs cool and does not overheat. This Corvette has plenty
of power and is quite fast. Also, the engine compartment is
beautifully clean, detailed, and correct as one can see in the
photos.
The horn work as do all the exterior lights, interior lights, power
windows, and wipers. All of the gauges work and even the clock
runs. The blower for the heater and air conditioning works on all
speeds. The entire vacuum system for the headlights works with no
binding in the mechanism. Also, the headlights go up correctly with
either the headlight switch or vacuum override switch. The complete
operation of the headlights from both switches can be seen in the
video. The turn signals work fine, but there is some play in the
stalk. The a/c does not blow cold. The fit of the left window to
the t-top could be adjusted. Not enough can be said as to how much
of a pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with the T-tops
out on a beautiful day.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 1979 Corvette is in fantastic driver condition. The
low mileage, the beautiful color combination, and the excellent
overall condition make this Corvette particularly desirable and
very hard to duplicate. This is the 79th Corvette made for 1979
with the last six of the VIN being 400079. This Corvette always
gets a ton of attention driving down the road. It is apparent that
the vehicle has been well taken care of by its previous owners. The
prices of C3 Corvettes have increased considerably over the past
several years. They are secure and wise investments for a
collector. One could easily enjoy this vehicl...for more
