Chevrolet Corvette magazine advertisement headline, 1979 The
headline above was followed with: What can you say about the
Corvette legend? It all began 26 years ago, when the first Corvette
was driven off the assembly line. And it remains today as America's
only true production sports car. A car that is awesomely competent.
And for 1979, the legend lives on. This year, Corvette engineers
and designers continue to refine one of the world's impressively
responsive cars, blending styling and engineering to give you
touring comfort and driver convenience. New flatter-folding bucket
seats, for example, endow Corvette with more practical carrying
capacity. New dual-snorkel air-induction air cleaner, new
anti-theft steering column ignition lock, and standard Delco AM-FM
radio help to make it one of the world's best-equipped cars. It's
not hard to understand why Corvette is such a legendary car. Since
1958 it has offered the fulfillment of a never-ending dream. And
for that reason it is truly the one and only. Corvette. Offered
here is a 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe in a classic
black-over-black combination. This American legend has been nicely
maintained in largely original condition. Since new, the car has
traveled 72,689 miles, or fewer than 1,750 miles per-year on
average since new. The factory-original exterior black (code 19)
paint remains in excellent condition over the entire body including
the lower-front grilles and the Endura®-clad front and rear bumper
covers. There is no damage noted on any fiberglass body panel. (To
best assess the quality of the paint and other body finishes, be
sure to view the close-up photographs of the car in the
accompanying gallery.) All cabin glass-including the beautifully
curved rear window-is clear and undamaged. The two removable t-top
panels are in similarly well-kept condition. Lighting lenses are
damage-free; pop-up headlights operate properly. Limited chrome on
the body is in excellent condition with only minor patina on the
door handles. All factory badging-including the crossed-flags
emblems on the hood, front fenders, and rear-deck gas-filler-cap
cover, and italicized corvette on the rear fascia-remains properly
mounted. Factory-original slotted alloy wheels with crossed-flags
center caps are mounted with raised-white-letter Road Hugger®
Radial GT tires. Inside, the black color theme continues. Black
leather upholstery in a horizontally pleated design covers the
bucket seats, with only normal wear present on the driver's seat.
Cabin and cargo-area carpeting in matching black is in overall
excellent condition with minimal fading. Matching door trim in
black incorporates carpet on the lower panels. The stock, 3-spoke,
brushed-metal-trimmed sport steering wheel with crossed-flags
emblem frames the twin instruments: a 130-mph speedometer and
5,500-rpm-redline tachometer. Instrument lenses are clear and
graphic markings are crisp. The clock and four engine-monitoring
gauges are located in the center-dash above an Alpine® premium
audio head unit (replacing the factory radio), and slide-lever
controls for heating and ventilation. The shifter for the automatic
transmission, handbrake lever, and power-window buttons complete
the console. The steering wheel and some dashboard and console trim
show light patina from normal use. Under the front-hinged hood, the
stock appearance of the 350-cubic-inch V8 (including its
twin-induction air cleaner)
